Female as an adjective is inoffensive everywhere, but you will run into problems in some contexts because its definition is currently in flux and different people will mean different things by it.
Female as a noun has the same changing definition deal, and also some online misogynists use it as a pejorative. It isn’t one, but they use it as one. As a corollary, some others on the internet have chosen to be offended by the term.

What country are you in?
In the USA, they do not. They only confirm what dates you worked there.
What are the benefits of sending the letter in, as opposed to just… not?
You’re the president of a democracy and your army just deposed a dictator with a war. What’s your plan to rebuild that country, and what’s your exit strategy?
OP, never post xkcd or smbc without including the alt-text (and for smbc, the votey).
The Fujita Scale was replaced by the Enhanced Fujita Scale in 2007, but I think ‘EF-5’ sounds stupid, so I vote we just use the new measurements for assigning numbers but still call them ‘F-whatever’.
Yes, you are wrong. “Any” means you can arbitrarily choose whatever you like without them being fussed. It does not grant you (or anyone else) the power or responsibility to choose a gender for them.
Gross, who let the Hexbearian in here? Now we have to fumigate.
There are some pretty significant differences, but you do you.
And since I noticed the disingenuous responses to the other person saying this already, I’m excited for people to respond to this comment by fallaciously assuming I indicated either of these was better or worse than the other. I said they’re different.
Anything conductive and grounded. For example, a lamp with a steel or copper body.
Discord is a bunch of chat rooms - fundamentally not a forum or fora.
Reddit and Lemmy are message boards full of fora, with each forum inside them full of threads which have branching threads inside them, and so on. Their distinguishing factors are really their methods for sorting posts and discussion threads, but those methods are really significant. Old fora had no voting mechanic.
Whether or not life is superior with a voting mechanic is a subjective question, but I absolutely loathe how on Reddit any post that either dissents from the hive mind or is perceived to gets downvoted to oblivion and suffers additional consequences, like how no-one will answer honest questions if the hive has decided that they don’t like it. Personal example: I once asked on the linguistics subreddit why descriptivist linguistics were preferred to prescriptivist and was downvoted to hell and back. The only replies were to call me a racist. I never got an answer, and I still don’t know. So voting is not the end-all be-all of forum mechanics.
She is not. Her sad story is that her ex-boyfriend killed her son.
Imagine paying for health insurance. Might as well burn your money, at least you’d get some heat.
On the gripping hand, the Brownies could make way better clocks than we could.
