From what I've read on that, it's simply a cultural thing.
In our culture it would be considered rude for a man to refer to his mother as "woman" , but in that culturat setting , it was not disrepectul at all.
Pretty simple.

Bro Epley, I think she's referring to the context of
John 2:4, not
John 19:26.
