Comments on: Why is it Men are Men, but Women are Girls http://blog.donnadoyon.com/?p=163 or Much Ado About Nothing Thu, 20 Nov 2008 13:43:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=1.5.1.3 by: Franz http://blog.donnadoyon.com/?p=163#comment-221 Mon, 30 Oct 2006 05:51:07 +0000 http://blog.donnadoyon.com/?p=163#comment-221 Good point. I think it depends on the context - in most office settings, "girls" would seem an inappropriate and potentially demeaning reference to grown women. On the other hand, friends or family saying something along the lines of "the girls are at the movies" seems relatively inoffensive, might just have well been "the boys are at the movies".

I personally think it is just a way that the men have to keep the women inferior to them, just like comments that a woman's place is in the kitchen. (I hate that one too!) But it is worse when we let them get away with it. From now on, I will correct anyone who calls me a girl. I'm a woman or female! HA Janet Donna,
