Women. At what age do you consider females a " Woman " ?

This, I also asked of men.

I cringe when I see teens 13 - 17 asking questions and being answered as if these were WOMEN asking ! And by women I mean 21 - ish mostly older.

I was treated by elders as a woman at 14 not to mention before that, but I lost so much of my youth because of that and I cringe at some of the young girls today.

Why must we be in such a hurry to grow up. Only to look back and think I wish I hadn't.........

    I think that you are still a teen until you are 20. I was also treated like a woman at 13 and I was no woman. I was just a kid.

    And do you think because of that our growth was in a strange way.......stunted ? That's how I feel at times.

    No, I feel it caused me to grow up quicker. I didn't have very much of a childhood. I had to start thinking like an adult at age 10 or 11 to survive. It didn't stunt my growth, it took my childhood. As a result, I don't even relate to the maturity of most women my own age. All of my friends have been older than me.

    So what you mean to say is, teens who ask questions shouldn't be taken so seriously?
    I'm not talking about existential "my boyfriend left me, I want to kill myself!/ Am I pretty enough?/I hate my parents because they don't buy me the latest apple product!--type of complaints which are meant to be questions.
    Also you said you were treated as a woman when you were 14 or so, why should you be the exception?
    I personally don't know when I consider a female to be a woman, I suppose it varies.
    There are some cases of women in their 30's who still act as if they just hit puberty and act immature. Also I've met quite a few girls smaller than me who were shockingly more mature than I was.
    I can't just label, according to general standards.

    Not expecting to be held up as an exception ....but as a rule. Not going to argue the fine points you have made.

    I think this way about men. They don't start even looking like men, instead of teens until they reach 30.

    The short answer is not less than 18. This might strange but the long answer is not everyone under that age or even past that age acts like a woman. Maturity is a complicated creature and different people 'grow up' at different ages.

    Absolutely. But I don't believe a girl of years younger than twenty should be considered women. jmo

    A woman is an adult. A teen is hopefully a young lady. Some are just brats and don't outgrow it.

    Hard to say. I know a few 50 years olds who still act like teenagers. Really depends on their attitude and sense of responsibilities

    Physically, when you get your menstrual cycle, I would suppose. Emotionally, when you take responsibility for your own decisions and become self-reliant. That was my defining moment. I went into the military as a scared and indecisive little girl. I came out a strong woman ready to take on the world.

    Nope. I'm sorry dear heart, but no. Even if you've been through what you may consider a lot, not a woman.,
