    lol. i've never even thought about this. while i recognise the inherent strength and equality of all people, i've never taken words as seriously as some have. i call guys dudes and girls chicks. i call girls brother actually, because sister just doesn't have the same feel to it. i'd be glad to explain what i mean to anyone who asked, but so far no one's been perturbed. :)

    So, if I called a table full of males women, could I fluff it by saying the term involves all human beings? Since MEN is in the word?

    if it offends them then maybe think twice about fluffing it, unless it involves sex afterwards, or you may be in trouble.

    No, because 'woman' is not a cultural expression. Saying 'hey, man!' implies indignance, usually feigned, and the expression has come to be directed at anyone, not just men. It's not said in an attempt to be inappropriate to the situation, as calling a table full of men women would be.
