i'm not a girl!

i'm a woman! am i the only one that gets offended by being called a girl?

 

I think my brother called me a girl once. I got offended too

 

I've been avoiding saying girl recently. Feels odd to call a grown woman 'girl'.

 

I haven't really noticed, so I don't think it bothers me.

 

"ladies" are my moms friends...i prefer to call females my own age "girls"...and if theyre younger like my nieces I say "little girls"

 

I find lady quite offensive. The term is WOMAN!!!

 

I feel old when someone calls me a woman. Or a lady. For pete's sakes I'm 24, not 80.

 

The last thing I would ever call a woman I wanted to have sex with, is a girl. (out of the choices of woman, lady, chick, babe, baby, girl)

maybe second last if you tossed broad in there... lol

 

That goes two ways. Women or girls and Men or boys..As long as your not using it in a manner that looks down on the person or ment to be degrading I dont see what difference it makes.

 

You're right, it does go both ways... the last thing a woman I was fucking would call me is boy... literally, because after that point, she wouldn't be fucking me anymore...

 

Raarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

The last time I called my wife a woman she got real pissed......"Woman, get me a sandwich" I don't know, maybe I should have phrased it differently.

What's the problem with lady? I'd figure most here wouldn't want to be called "woman" due to the "man" aspect of it.

I usually call em broads or toots. Unless they pick up the cheque on a date, then I call them a lady.

 

And avoided asking for a sandwich on your anniversary.

 

To be fair I was flat down in bed.

 

I think intentions matter... It's not all black and white. Words mean different things to different people, and I think it should stay that way rather than standardizing our language (Yay censorship. Yay political correctness. Now no one can have any fun, and people will refrain from saying anything meaningful for fear of coming off as "insensitive." No, you're right, let's just talk about the weather).
I've never felt I had anything to prove, though. I guess if I had a male employer and he called me sweetheart, I might get offended, but again it depends on their background. If I know they don't say it because they look down on me, I'm not about to call a meeting over it...

 

I actually like to be called a girl. Not sure why, but I always refer to myself as a girl. I actually really dislike the sound of the word 'woman' I just think it is vocally an ugly word. Same with 'female'. But I love the sound of 'girl'.

I actually base a lot of the words that I use on whether or not I like the sound of the word.

 

I think it is fine - depends (like so many thngs) on context.

I find myself using "lady" mostly on forums. In my mind I usually think "woman".

But even someone my age, I may call a girl sometimes, like as in "Girl, don't tease me like that!", or "girl's night out tonight?".

Personally I don't think anything is wrong with "girl" - it's the intent behind it. Like, if a guy's mind is at the place where he thinks "I am MAN you are girl", that would be different than, "I love the way you kiss me, girl", or "wow that's a lot of girls all going to the bathroom as a group, over there".
