Are we 'women' from the moment we turn 18, or will you be OK with being called a 'girl' well into your retirement? Is the word 'girl' when used to describe adults flattering, patronising or neither? Does it depend entirely on who is using the word and where or how it's uttered?
All these and more are questions that divide the species, and I find it fascinating how different *ahem* female people respond. So without wishing to bias the results, I'd love to know how you feel about being referred to as a girl. ('Boys' are excluded for the purpose of this poll, I'm afraid, but please do comment if you have a view!)
