Women only: Regarding the use of the term 'girls' to describe women.

168. With them, of course

It should go without saying. If behaving a certain way or using certain language around someone who has told you that it is annoying or offensive to them then common courtesy dictates that you don't behave that way or use those words around them in order to not annoy or offend them... even if you yourself disagree or even think it's ridiculous.

Common courtesy anymore has flown out the window. People seem to believe that their own beliefs and feelings are the center of the universe and have no obligation to curb voicing those beliefs or feelings around those whom they KNOW are annoyed or offended by them because they believe their own beliefs and feelings are more important than anyone else's. To not CARE that some are hurt by the refusal to accommodate their feelings by doing such a SIMPLE and courteous thing as to not behave in certain ways or use certain language around those people you KNOW are hurt and offended by it is the height of selfishness and rudeness.

People are different and have different beliefs and feelings, and there is no hope of people being able to get along and even learn how to see eye to eye without employing some basic common courtesy and accommodate the beliefs and feelings of others especially when it such a SIMPLE thing to do.

So yes, OF COURSE one should stop behaving a certain way or using certain language that they KNOW is annoying and offensive to others when around those people or one is a selfish, rude boorish person that needs to learn that the entire universe is not centered around them, their beliefs and feelings are not more important than others, and in order to get along with others then some SIMPLE common courtesy must be employed.
