As explained by Chris L'Etoile
"Without getting into too much detail, asari are considered female because:
1) They produce the equivalent of egg cells - cells that contain genetic material which can develop into a new independant organism. How they use them is a bit weird from the human point of view.
2) They possess the equivalent of a womb - a place where "activated" egg cells develop within them.
3) From the human point of view, they have a host of secondary sexual characteristics associated with femaleness (mammary glands, distribution of fats, higher pitched voice, etc.)
It's open to debate whether or not a species can truly be "female" (or "male") when they are monogendered. For the purposes of classification by multi-gendered species, who are the majority in the galaxy, the asari clearly fill a female niche.
The codex is not written from human or Spectre/galactic point of view (save one or two entries which deal with topics only the player knows about). It's supposed to be an objective encyclopedia, presenting topics in a neutral tone. The hope was that the background material Shepard would know growing up in the world would be presented tot the player in a way that allows you to make your own judgements on whether "X" is good or bad.

Man and we spent all this time arguing.
