Usage is mostly cultural rather than derogatory. It's safer to take people at the meaning of their words rather than inferring a meaning that isn't justified.

Yes, that is it's literal meaning, but the point is that it is uncommon to use female as a noun in reference to humans except when speaking clinically or when chauvinists use it as dehumanizing language. The word "women" is the much preferred option by most women, so the use of "females" in this context suggests that OP may have been speaking derogatorily.

The new generation will never know the thrill of making a mixtape for someone and the hours it took to perfect it.

I directly responded to EPJ327 having asserted that using female as a noun was maybe? derogatory rather than it being the literal root and origin of the word.
As a noun it simply means woman or girl.

Reply to comment by Dragonian014 in The point in the center of a target isn't to be hit, it is ti focus so you can shoot better the area around it by Dragonian014
But the logic is still flawed, aiming at the center is the goal, as the most common goal is to improve accuracy, which is to aim at the center, you improve by getting closer and on it, not the area around it. The reward is also different, in both sports and practicing for combat. As it is to train on hitting more accurately and precisely. For more/less points in sports and for better skill for longer distances or precision aiming in combat.

I don't see how this response is relevant. Their point was that the word "female" in the OP is used in an irregular, potentially chauvinistic, way. The etymology of the word is irrelevant to how it was used in this case.

And now we have ignorant people getting upset if more than one person sings the same song. For instance, apparently Angela Lansbury's rendition of Beauty and the Beast is the only one allowed to exist and it's wrong for Shania Twain to sing it in a TV special. Are these people aware of musical theatre and that numerous actors have played the same characters and sung the same songs? A black actress plays both Mrs Potts and Elsa in the Highschool Musical TV series and sings their iconic songs, to the chagrin of ignorant observers on Facebook who don't even watch the show
