"My baby daddy and my baby mama"

Sounds disrespectful.

Oh and referring to all women as "female" or "girls" instead of "women" If you are not talking about women in the concept of the human species, then they are "Women". If you are talking about us as animals, a species, mating habits or a scientific point of view, "Female" is fine.

Also calling a mixed group with women in it " you guys"

I bet a bunch of guys would not like to be included in a group when someone said "hey you gals"

"You guys" is the northern equivalent of "Y'all." It's used in exactly the same way.
