For classicists: At what age is a woman called a "woman" (γυνή) in the ancient world?
Glad to know I'm not out to sea on this one, since this was my impression too and I've always thought that the contrast between the age-gated terms for men and the marriage-status-gated terms for women said something about the structure and values of Greek (and Roman) patriarchy.

I was always struck by the Latin age-term arrangement, which pretty clearly embeds Roman gender-values: puella = pre-marriage mulier = married/window while: adulescens = almost/just barely military aged, 16-20 iuvenis = military age, 20-40 senex = post-military age, 40+
