The message
from "Harold Walker" contains these words:

Sorry, forgot to add "...or by calling them 'females'".

Why not go full hog and call 'em ladies.....H

Because that's a very precise term, often loosely applied.

Being polite one night in Picadilly circus I used the work lady as in "no
thanks lady" and the response was "I aint no lady"....believe she was
thinking in terms of 'Lady of the Night"....which I suspected she was...H

That's a standard (egalitarian) response from a woman with no
aspirations to grandeur.
