I would contend that the fact that some females do not self-identify as women or ladies does not make the terms rude or impolite. I'm not sure what connotation you associate with the terms, but I'm not aware of any.
Probably be better to say, "I prefer *** to ladies." Of course, if the person is not directly addressing you, it might be best to just move on to the next post and not make a mountain out of a mole hill.
