I would like to ask for a point or two of clarification.

Was the beginning of this thread a story of a person who had an emotional
reaction to hearing a group of student type females calling themselves 
girls?

If I am relating to a female human(of any age) who requests that I use
the term 'girl' for her and is not insulted, what should I call her?

ps: All through this I am reminded of Joanie Caucus' sardonic smile upon
    hearing a birth announcement of "It's a Baby Woman!".
