Simple Mind: L-word not offensive

In a recent Simple Mind blog post:

“So sick of people getting upset over a common word.I am glad I lived my first 66 years (now 76 and the last 10 have been the pits with pc) when people didn’t pick apart every single stinking word. To answer the question … the least offensive female name would be ‘LADY’. ‘Lady’ is and was a person of refinement. I consider myself a ‘WOMAN’. I have even referred to myself as an ‘OLD BROAD’. If some said that to me — in the right frame — I would not be offended. Like most, it is how it is said. Never was fond of ‘honey’ and ‘sweetie’ — usually by an older woman when I was young. Offended? No. Just not fond of it. Even been called ‘BABE’. Wasn’t fond of it. But wasn’t offended. Now the B word with ‘itch’ on it. Now, that might raise my dander a bit, but again it depends on who and why. WOMEN … LADIES … offended by it????  Get over yourselves.”

Question: Do you consider “lady” to be an offensive term?
