I use the term that way too.
I guess words have different meaning depending on the tribe you're with. I never had heard of the word, fata, until I joined CP.
I guess I am old fashioned but this man / woman thing really gets my dander up.
Whenever a young lady holds the door for me, I compliment her by saying, "Thank you...you're a gentleman". I never cease to get a smile out of her. Of course, I can do that with my grey hair.
Maybe you young people would prefer I say, "Thank you...You're a chivalrous, courteous, and honorable person"
