"The girls in the office". As opposed to the "women"
Is the term "girls" belittling...you don't hear mean, referred to as boys.
Sound off.
You do actually refer to men being referred to as boys all the time, particularly by older women.click to expand
I agree. This is a debate im having with my co worker. Shes offended by it. I said ...i hear "boys" all the time.
She argues not from a boss...the boss (male) would never say "the boys"
Shes annoying
When someone says "the girls".. think boobies.
Basically she basically told me my point is invalid, I mean not being offended by it just shows my youth. I mean not accepting the fact that I'm an older woman. I'm only 30, she's 50.
Then she goes on to tell me that she's just never been one to follow social norms. And she's never been a follower or sheep. And she questions everything.
She's always made her own course through life and has fought for everything that she is

Offended, no. Not for the first time.
After I tell said person I am not a 'girl' and don't appreciate being called such. You can use my name or title, k thanks.
If they still insist on using that term, then I will be offended.

Boss is on the phone "ok great. When you come in the girls in the office can help you"
Co worker: girls?...do you ever refee to the men in the field as the "boys"?
*My boss dumbfounded*
"What would you perfer?"
Coworker: "idk, its belittling to say girls. Women, gals, ladies..."
Me: *rolling my eyes*...idc what you call me.
We settled on the "Designers"...
Which i guess it appropriate.

e.g. There were no threats.
I am not offended by being called a "girl" 99 out of 100 times. The only time I get offended by it, is if a male uses it in a context of trying to undermine me, based off my gender.
This applies to the word "chick", "darling", etc... as well.

Let's pretend the women in the office were men.
Think how this sounds...."The boys in the office will take care of it."
Would anyone even say that?
That's the issue. Nobody would demean the value of men in a business setting because nobody has ever been conditioned to.

It's all within context.
The boss can not call me girl. It's says alot about my value, performance appraisal, pay or bonus distribution...

It's a hard pass.

If people (men and women alike) could be instantly bitch-slapped for being "offended" by verbal cues, then there would be a lot less "offended" pussies and a lot more realistic people.
I am talking a nice, smooth, and swift bitch-slap right to the face to ANYONE who gets "offended" by the words of another.

IDGAF what you idiots think.
A lot more slaps in this world would result in a lot less whining and bitching about everything.
Posted by LittleStar
I always refer to myself as a girl.
But when a contractor calls me “good girl” I flip tables.
It’s all about tone.
This I agree with.
See, when one says, "good girl," it's almost like they are talking to you like you are a dog.
I can see why a bitch-slap becomes necessary for the person who talks to someone like they are a dog.
However, if a dude says, "Good morning, girls, how are you?"
I don't see the need for any slapping here, especially since he was greeting the women.
But yes, bitch-slapping is in order for people who talk to others like they are dogs or some other kind of animal.
If some bitch said to me, "Hey boy...." Yes, a slap would be in order for her.
