Is it polite to address your own mother as "woman" in the west? I read in Bibel jesus call his mother "woman"?

Answer 1

Of course not.

If any of us tried that, half of us would get a lecture that would last about 10 hours, and the other half would be knocked off our feet with the nearest blunt object.

Answer 2

No its not polite here in the West & in the 21'st century to call one's own mother "woman."

However, Jesus Lived in the east & more importantly He Lived 2,000 years ago: Different time & different culture.

In Our Lord's Day, calling one's own mother or any other female "woman," was courteous.

Answer 3

No but Jesus was not living in Western Europe he was in The Middle East

Answer 4

In today's western society, to address someone as 'woman' is seen as more of a condescending term, and often associated with a command. It would not be accepted today.

Answer 5

No, it is not polite. Jesus was a Jew who lived in the 1st century. Social customs were slightly different.

Answer 6

No, it is not, unless you are very close with your mom and are teasing her in a playful, loving way, as in, "Hey woman! Get outta my way... I'm gonna wash the dishes - you sit down!"
Now, usually in America if someone calls their mom "woman", it would be the daughter.

Answer 7
