Interesting. This brings up the issue of usage.
When used in the third person, girl or woman bother me not at all.
I don't like any gender specific noun as a form of direct address; I want to be called [Title][Lastname] unless you are a casual aquaintance.
As a pre-nominative modifier, if you must identify a person's sex, I like "female" best.
