Referring to girls and women as "females" rather than well, "girls or women”

Seems a bit dehumanizing. Girls and women are human beings, but not all "females" are.

Just a thought.

I don’t really care what term is used, as long as the intention is not to offend. To be fair girl is used for most animals, “good girl” used to praise most pets

@SW-User i tend to use "girls" for younger women & "ladies" for older women but I kinda use "women" or "females" as a generalization if I'm talking about all 🤷

I've never had anyone tell me they were offended by which word I used. So I assume I use them appropriately. It's all about intentions I suppose
