          It';s very typical in hyper-macho environments. E.g., Army superior to men running in barracks: "Come on ladies". Also yes, ladies is offensive due to this and many other reasons. I also dislike it. What's wrong with "women"?

          Along similar lines, do you see it as a problem when men (or women) sometimes call men "boys"? Sometimes it's disrespectful, but other times it's an expression of camaraderie.

          I refer to the above comic which says you can use any words you like in your spare time, but at work you have to be professional. Men are "men".

          To be honest, I think using girl and boy to refer to adults has more corrosive effects in addition to sexism. It intersects with how we treat children and adults.

          And of course since women are infantilised more than men even when they are not-yet-women (so teens and girls) it's a women's issue.

          Professionalism at work is something we should all strive for. I can't force anybody to be professional though, I don't work in HR or the legal department, which certainly tries to ensure and promote professionalism within their organisation.

          I'm only catching up with my notifications now. I'm also, only catching up with the nuanced cultural meanings attached to these words, which they don't teach you in school, only recently, since living in an English speaking country.

          IMHO one of the first rules in professional communication is honesty in the aims. Using terms that are potentially demeaning is indicative of covert goals

          I agree with you but sometimes, esp if you come from a non-English speaking culture, it takes a lot to understand which words carry demeaning tone. I honestly thought "ladies" and "women" were interchangeable till now. But I'm learning and tankful for y'all.

          Which proves it is ultimately about what the speaker means by the words and what the hearer means by the words, not with some objective fact about any particular word.

          Oh, God, no. Of course words within a basic context have fixed (fuzzy, with deviations, but the mean is known to a good enough degree) meanings, that's how we communicate. Is this how you would defend somebody who used the n-word? Awful logic.

          For me that would be stretching the meaning of 'fixed' too much (which in a meta-sort-of-way would prove my point, perhaps)
