Girls, however, seem to remain -chan's for a rather longer time, at least that's what my anime watching tells me. Looks like sexist paternalism to me. At some point girls become -san's, though, don't they? Around when does that happen?
(Yes, I know that older girls might be called -chan as a term of endearment; I'm talking about less intimate relationships.)
