>>My mother wouldn’t be too happy if I called her “woman.” <<

My mother was perfectly happy to be called Baba. Every Polish mother is.
Understanding that Jesus was not an English speaker and your mother is, may be why you don’t get the concept.

Nowhere in Scripture does Jesus refer to Mary as "mother."

Instead He calls her "woman."

Generic. He's telling us something here. Something He repeats to His disciples when He explained to them that His true mother and brothers are not those who are related to Him by blood, but instead are all those who believe in His name as Lord, King, God and Savior.

Repent of the idolatry that takes the focus off the Triune God and places it on the creature.
