And what’s the difference? A female human IS a woman and vice versa? When I’d say “you are a female” is the context absolutely obvious that you’re a human. So using the word woman instead basically says the same. A human entity whose sex is female. There is no judging, no condescending, no nothing. Just pure information.

Never in my life have i seen it as offending. As long the person who uses these terms uses them equally for both sexes with due respect. And not like men/females etc. The analogy to “blacks” is misleading as it’s both sexes while “black woman” isn’t.
