In most contexts, you’d just say…”people”.
Or, if you’re actually trying to make a demographic-wide statement, like how women aren’t good at video games, you’d just say:
“IGNORE ME, I AN A SEXIST MORON.”
Basically, the meme isn’t much meant for the word choice, it’s how often incels have statements to make on half the population.
You remember how everyone just used to say women 10-20 years ago? I guess that's woke now. So much for conserving.

"people with vaginas" is one option ig. or if they also identify as women, cis women is another option
When did "people with vaginas" unironically become a way to refer to anyone, especially as an alternative to "female"?
People with vaginas is the right terminology if discussing something that pertains to vaginas. Eg. "People with vaginas should make sure to see a gynecologist regularly." in this case, saying "women" would exclude/misgender many trans and intersex people who have vaginas but are not women, while also including some women who do not have vaginas and would not need to see a gynecologist
The person you replied to said "female" though. As far as I know, "Man"/"Woman" is on the gender side while "Male"/"Female" is on the sex side, based purely on things like reproductive organs, chromosomes and hormones.
Although taking all three into account may just make it hard to determine. But it does imply that "male woman" and "female man" are also valid combinations.
“Male”/“Female” is on the sex side, based purely on things like reproductive organs, chromosomes and hormones.
Not really, I don't think. They're just the adjectives where woman/man are the nouns. If you talk about a male coworker I assume he's a man, not that you checked his birth certificate.
Male and Female are still normative exclusionary categories that describe trends within physiology and not hard rules or limits. Sex is not a golden rule. It is a human created category in the same way gender is.
If you want to talk about specific anatomy there is no reason why you can't talk about the anatomy you're referring to.
I would also point out that referring to trans women as male woman is very derogatory and is functionally the same as calling us heshes or shemales.

well sometimes u need to refer to ppl who have a vagina, because having a vagina is somehow relevant to the topic of conversation. which in my experience comes up very rarely, so i dont have to use it very often.
some people who have vaginas arent women, and so if the topic includes those ppl, then "people with vaginas" is the perfect phrase to use. and if talking about ppl with vaginas who all identify as women, cis women is more fitting.
"female" is a very vague way of referring to something. some ppl use it to describe gender identity, others use it to talk about ppl with vaginas, others again use it to refer to ppl with estrogen-dominant hormonal systems, etc. etc.

As a magical talking lion, I always go with, "Daughter of Eve."
A talking lion and a flying squid? That's some Lovecraftian horror combo
Flying Squid is just my mom de plume. I’m really a Jesus metaphor in big cat form.

What would Freud say about this one? It's not overly sexual but I like it.

feminine species
clearly ingenue is the correct choice
or for a potential fun comment thread: is dude gendered? I grew up in a place where a lot of people called everyone dude regardless of gender. That said, when I’ve brought this up, some people get real heated about it.
Hey dude, don't make it weird. Take a bad song and make it wetter.
Dude can be gendered
and some people will think you're just looking for an excuse to call men people who aren't, if you say that dude is not gendered to you
we're on the internet after all, and no one knows the real intentions of the people behind the screen

Yes but he's not looking for a woke word for "females", so "women" doesn't help.
Come on, that's just obvious bait
Here I go once again with the email
Every week I hope that it's from a female
Oh :( Not from a female
