Not apropos of much, but . . . After I came home on leave after Plebe Year my mother said "You know, outside of the military the noun is 'woman,' not female." She said that's her one regret about my sister and I going to USNA--all this talking about "females." We agreed we would try to use "woman/women" as a the noun(s) in our home, when speaking with civilians, and when we get out of the service.
