Sexist language

The discussion of Fickr captured my interesting very much. I didn't think anyone would feel indifferent about the use of the word "girl" to describe a women. I don't feel degraded or offended with people labeling me or any other female a girl. It's nice to be called a woman or lady, but being labeled as a "girl" in tags are just about the same. I don't view the word "girl" as to be a sexist term. There are a lot of words that label things and people (gender) that are closely related to "girl". Such examples were given by Rippie: Contra Censura:

"i suppose one solution is to ban words like girl, boy, black, white, red, yellow, etc...
asian should go, and indian is probably a hot-button, too."

I've never came across this kind if topic before. I can imagine labeling some religion or nationality something other than the original can be demeaning, but something as simple as boy, girl, yellow, red is natural. In the text book, it claimed that certain words and sentences can be viewed differently to the opposite sex. I see it all the same. I don't mind the gender use at all.
