No, it demonstrates people's inability to formulate sentences properly. The 2nd person is asking clarifying questions to be sure they understand them properly..as one should.
The only thing wrong with saying female, is in your head.
How would you say female humans when referring to a group of female humans.
I have literally no way of determining if a person is female outside a hospital setting. But there are certain characteristics that people can adopt to signify themselves as women.
So, asking how I'd refer to a group of female humans is kind of a false question outside a niche situation, or unless I'm a doctor...
But, all this is avoided by just saying "women". Or, in the provided example, just saying "dog", or placing "husky" after "female".
