"The single most important thing a man can do to be an ally is give his woman friends permission to give dudes at the bar his number so when they call he can angrily say that's not funny because she died 15 years ago that very night"

Here's how that would go:

"Hey, Alice, what's up, it's Mike from the party!"

"Alice? What do you mean alice, she di..."

[Thinking] "shit, that's a man's voice. Must be her boyfriend."

I mean it still results in someone the girl didn't want to talk to not getting her number so I'd do it

Not sure why there's so much confusion over the use of woman vs. female. To my mind it's

"Alice is a woman, she is a female friend", not "Alice is a female, she is a woman friend".

(But even if you want to say 'woman friend', you'd then have to 'women friends' for the plural)

They say it don't be like it is, but it do.

I get it now but it should have said "when they call and mention her name".

The reason is that if any man were to call a number received by a female they were interested in and hear a mans voice they would hang up immediately unless they didn't respect themselves.
