The word "ladies"

Is using the word lady or ladies old fashioned? Shouldnt we all be saying "people or persons who identify with other people who have two X chromosomes"?

What's wrong with simply referring to women as women?

no it’s not old fashioned in my opinion I’ll always refer to them as lady’s or lady or on the rare occasion I may call them a naughty girl

I think most of us are perfectly happy with ladies.

Some don't like girls and I think females just sounds impersonal.

People is a bit generic.

I'm sensing sarcasm and intent to stir up a little bit of controversial drama for one's Friday evening entertainment

I can only answer that it entirely depends on my mood at the time

I think we should do as we see fit and be judged by it if people feel the need.

Myself, I'm a fan of difference and peculiarity as opposed to hearded fear....

Is it just me or do the terms Ladies and Gents or Gentlemen make you feel like your being referred to as a toilet..?

Could say the same about arseholes

All arseholes are people/persons too that have feelings and shit

Even if they are an arsehole

not really it’s a form of respect for example I was at the hospital last week and the receptionist referred to me as a gentleman when asking a colleague a question about my appointment very professional it sounds better that I’ve got this bloke here in reception and he wants to know blah blah blah

I think by default I'd use the term ladies to show respect, if I know that lady well then I'd say girls.

Gentleman is never used it a patronising way whereas ladies gas been so it's not quite the same I would suggest.

Words, just words. Not even words that are used to be derogatory or insulting, or intended to be offensive in their use. If somebody finds the use of them offensive then that is the problem of that person, not the user of the words.

If I refer to a lady that does not like to be called a lady (and I have no prior knowledge of this dislike) then tough shit. I won't be sorry for using a word that they have chosen a none offensive word to take offense to.

I think all the terms above can be fine, or awful, depending on the context.

Yes indeed.

I've said it many times on here before. Context is everything, it is far more important than words used.
