No, female developers is an accurate term. There is nothing wrong with the word. You don't say women developers. And since it is fine in this scenario it is also fine in that scenario. You are creating a problem out of nothing here.

Edit: Also woman is not inclusive, since it excludes kids. You wouldn't say that women toddlers. Using female and male are the only terms you can use when you are talking about the groups as a whole. Attacking people for using them just makes it impossible to correctly use the language.

Parent comment was responding to a comment that used the term "male." Responding with equivalent phrasing and saying "female" in that context makes a lot more sense.
