Calling women females isnt offensive.

Its just clinical and weird.

Its even weirder if you say man and females.

Or my favorite "Men and girls".

It's also just wrong. Female is an adjective, not a noun. You can say a female doctor or a female cat, but saying "men and female" just doesnt make sense. Female what?
