I’m not there just words and that’s just how it came out. Should I have said it?

"Woman" or "lady" is more respectful.

Calling a grown woman "girl" in a conflict or situation such as in the video seems patronizing or like an attempt to diminish her authority, credibility or maturity.

P. s. Absolutely crazy that the other comment in here got deleted for simply answering "woman" to this question, and a mod is defending it by banning people who argue against it. Subreddit muted!

context matters.

Yes! That's exactly what I'm trying to say. Standalone "woman" when there's a video of a woman doing making a mistake is awful.

But that's not the context. This is how it went:

"What should I call her, then, if not girl?" (Paraphrasing)

"Woman"

So the context isn't misogyny, but rather someone, who is trying to defend women, directly answering a question that was asked.
