Because tamales is a loanword from Spanish. (In case anyone wants to know actually why.)
Fun fact: in Shrek (2001), when Donkey spends the night in Shrek’s swamp, he says, “And in the morning, I’m making waffles.” In the Spanish dub, he says that he’s going to make tamales.

True, but....
Tamale is an anglicized version of the Spanish word tamal (plural: tamales).[2] Tamal comes from the Nahuatl tamalli.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamale
English has also absorbed words of Nahuatl origin, including avocado, chayote, chili, chipotle, chocolate, atlatl, coyote, peyote, axolotl and tomato. These words have since been adopted into dozens of languages around the world.[15][16] The names of several countries, Mexico, Guatemala, and Nicaragua, derive from Nahuatl.

Oh that sounds so much better, saying females makes you sound like a Ferengi but saying females makes you sound like Antonio Banderas, and I know which I'd prefer.

In this case, different etymology/language. (I know, I’m ruining the joke)
