Is it acceptable for men to refer to women as "girls"? Most Brits (58%) think it always or usually is, including 62% of men and 55% of women. But the bigger difference seems to be between generations: 48% of 18-29yr olds compared to 70% of those aged 60+ yougov.co.uk/topics/lifesty… 
Likewise, 68-72% of Brits think it is always/usually acceptable to refer to men as "boys" and 83-85% say the same of referring to women as "ladies" yougov.co.uk/topics/lifesty…
Our study on gender terms also shows big generational differences on how acceptable it is to use "guys" to refer to a group of women. While 68-77% of 18-29yr olds think it is always/usually acceptable, this falls to 38-54% among those over 60 yougov.co.uk/topics/lifesty…
