I only use the term 'females' in the context of ... some kind of discussion of medical or biological studies ... or to differentiate between a girlfriend and a platonic female friend...
But I am guilty of the whole open fridge and sigh thing.
However.
If I turned around and David Attenborough was physically present, narrating me... I think I would be overjoyed and just try to get him to watch a nature documentary with me.
Or even better, go outside and just continue to be amused at his narration of me, and see if I can't get him to a park or something and see if he switches over to narrating the ducks.
I'm not a native speaker, but I think it's normal to request a "female nurse" but asking for a "woman nurse" sounds weird. But saying "I would like my nurse to be a woman" sounds normal again
