As in saying 'woman' as alternative to calling the female by name. I don't think it is tbh, unless it's intentionally used to demean them. People get commonly called 'man' in conversation i.e. Hey man. So do you think it's bad to do that to females or is there no harm in saying it?

i feel like when it has that tone like 'woman! ' it sounds a bit much but other than that no
i HATE when people call woman/girls 'females' though

Its hardly the same way as 'hey man' though. I guess if someone used it as 'hey woman' it might be ok but its generally not in that way at all Tone and intent matter tbh
I would honestly rather generally be called bitch than woman, love, hun and so on. And often am

It depends on the context and tone

i thought hey man, was more of a unisex term, hey woman just doesn't have the same contextual meaning.

It’s funny how the most PC person on here when it comes to sexuality doesn’t see anything wrong with calling a female woman.

Ah right.....yeah, I wouldn't be impressed by that if someone didnt know my name I would prefer them just to say "hey" and "listen".

I think anything could be offensive if you try hard enough really. But generally, no. Its rarely used with an intent to be offensive.

I don't like it much personally although not enough to worry about it
In work irish men call the till ladies 'woman' and me and a few of the younger girls get called 'cutty' or 'dolly birds'

Sometimes I'm like "WOMAN! MAN IS HOME! BRING FOOD!"
But I have to be honest and say that most of the customers don't like it. |

I wouldn't say "offensive" but it's certainly rude if you're just shouting "Oi! Woman!"
