(13,418 posts)of the Women's Movement that occurred at the same time as the Civil Rights Movement, PLEASE refer to 'girls' who are over the age of 12 as YOUNG WOMEN. When you say 'girl,' I, for one, see a girl, you know, an 8 year-old girl in my mind.
This so reminds me of the 'Mad Men' referring to their secretaries as 'my/your girl.' Can't we get past this?? His 'girl' is 21 years old. She is a woman. What is so damn scary about the word, "WOMAN?"
We no longer refer to Black Men as 'boy' any longer, do we?
I've complained about this before and never seemed to get anywhere. But if you dudes didn't have SINGLE WOMEN VOTING, you'd be saying, "President RobMe." Can we please get a bit of RESPECT?
Please. I mean it. Really. (to quote a couple of cool women).
It's a bad habit you really need to break.
