Or they are just non-native english speakers

Yeah, but those people don't get defensive when you comment on it, while those who are raising the red flag immediately do. It's pretty easy to tell them apart from that point forward.

What a sweetheart you are. Can't even let a webcomic get away with not being inclusive.

Pretty sure non natives will be the first ones to use "woman" and not "female". I know it's not something we say in French anyway, a woman is a woman.

a woman is a woman

Problematic part

Blague à part, il existe d'autres langue (non-indo-européennes) ou la distinction est moins aisée à faire. Par exemple en Hongrois on dit "nő" pour "femme" et "nőstény" pour "femelle", mais on peut les interchanger dans certains cas et les traducteurs automatiques s'y emmêlent les pinceaux des fois.
