Reply #39: girly

I don't take the world girly as an inherently negative or insulting term. Its just not for me. I'm not one of the chauvinist subjects of a womens studies paper about people who assign negative meanings to words describing women. So please don't try to paint me into that corner.
The average woman pays more attention to the details of how they look than the average man. They also spend more money on things like their hair, jewelry, and pedicures. So girly is a fair descriptor. As with all generalizations, that isn't always true (and thank goodness for that) but if you think this isn't true then I'd like to know what country you're living in. Men who spend as much time on their looks in the way that most women do are rare and unusual enough in society that they're given names like metrosexual.
You asked why. I gave my reasons.
