It isn't about being "woke". Calling a woman a "female" in real life, just sounds wrong coming out of my mouth. Have you ever heard someone call women females IRL? It never sounds right. In anything that isn't extremely formal, it reads creepy to me. It's just like calling people men "males" - it doesn't sound right, and nobody does that in conversation.
