    For me it used to be a holdover from military service.

    No idea why but everyone on base used “male/female” instead of men/women.

    I can only think of a Ferengi from star trek whenever I hear “female” and when my spouse and I hear it I always look at them and do that hand thing where they tap their fingers together.
