Well yes, because gender is a human construct.
Regardless of the gender/sex debate (cause I've had enough of it in college), I still think there could be a different way to address a female dog. I don't find it offensive, I just don't like the word.

That's exactly what my voicemail says because it's true. Am I a heffa? No. Bougie? Maybe a little. *hair flip* 
FWIW, many women I know/knew would refer to a woman they did not like as "That ol' female dog" to avoid usage of the offensive word while still making sure the displeasure was expressed in a funny sort of way.

I usually just call everyone an asshole. Covers all bases.
PS-I'm totally cool with your voicemail saying that. Because my beef is with the voicemails that do this: "Hey, what's up?" Pause (which is long enough for me to respond with "Nothing, really, you?) "Nothin...but hey this is actually my voicemail, so leave a message!"
Not. Cool.

Same here. Doesn't sound that different from "I'll call you back as soon as I can" -- just a little more formal.
BTW, like your location.

Do you find adults doing this?

"I'll call you back as soon as I can" expresses some insistence to get back to the person. "At my convenience" expresses that my message is an inconvenience.

Yep. The culprits have been teenagers to adults...like 50+.

I will kill a bitch over that.
I'm guilty of that, though, circa 2001.
But that's when it was "cool" and I had absolutely no remotely professional calls coming in.

Yeah, I've seriously considered it. One of my sis-daughters got a few voicemails that started out with..."FNRIWRY47382TRYWIBFHREJBGFHJEKBFHJ!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!" Or something to that effect.

I NEVER said I was offended. Not liking a word =/= being offended.
Just like I hate the word panty. Call it underwear, call it something else other than "panty."
