In a workplace yes, I don't like to be called 'lady' or have some cock waggling man walk into a meeting and say 'morning ladies'. I correct it anytime it happens. I find it demeaning and disrespectful. The kind of men who say such things are generally backwards misogynist twats in my experience and I refuse to be part of their worldview.

Whenever we had to greet a group of female officers it was always ladies, gentlemen for men. We also didn't get an option on what to say, that was considered the proper greeting of the day.
Especially when they were younger than me it felt so odd adding a "good morning, ladies" to my salute. And trying not to sound creepy while doing it.
