      Yes that’s the issue, if you use them inconsistently. Males, females. Men, women. Same for boys, girls actually. Saying boys and women or men and girls can seem belittling to the other.

        I consistently used males and females in some contexts but I’ve noticed that it often still comes across as weird when talking about humanoids.
