So the male batter still has to touch 1st, even if the female batter has past him.

Sure, but in ISF, it states that once the female batter has reached the 1st base then no appeal is then an option.
Rule:
The batter is awarded one base without liability to be put out, provided he advances to and touches first base. If the
umpire mistakenly allows two walks at one time and the first batter fails to touch first base, no appeal will be
honoured on the first batter.
But thank you all for your input. I understand what to do should this happen again in the next 23 years!!
