She carries innocence and waits for the wildness of life to enter into her life. Her age group is b...

Is it offensive when men call women 'females'?
Using the term 'females' to refer to women - is it demeaning?
I often hear men referring to women as "females" in regular everyday social conversations, and frankly it bugs me to no end. I find it offensive.
