You have to use the word female when referring to the sex......
The word 'Woman' only really refers to mature females.....not the entire female subset of the human species.

yes, a not mature female would be would be a girl, right?
So there we have it, girls and women.

of course if one had to fill out forms, we would cross "male " or "female".

But do we "chit chat" with a female or male? Or with a man , woman,boy or girl?

Anyhow, doesn't matter. IMHO, it is only certain people who prefer to use the term 'female".

Alexa,

And you mean to say that we are one of those 'certain people' who call females 'female' ? Besides, i never thought women feel odd when they are called females


Jeeper, you do have a great sense of humour
