| I am a grown ass woman with a university aged kid, and am a professor who attended the presentations of my students who presented their GIS work to our municipality. I was looking for the washroom and one city manager, maybe 60 (I am 52 but look young for my age), asked me if I was looking for the “little girly” room. I politely told him that I was looking for the women’s washroom. WTF He quickly backtracked. Just needed a place to vent. |

Uh, weird to take this personally. I'm a man and I've had the opposite thing happen from older women.
Some older people just refer to the bathroom as the "little boys" or "little girls" room. He wasn't trying to keep you from smashing the patriarchy. |

*same thing happen
opposite genders |
| Why’s that weird? |
| um, I'll say I'm going to the little girls room and I'm a retired 60+ yo scientist, occasional academic |
| Yeah, I hate that cutesy crap too. Some people just think it's cute or funny. We disagree. Whatever. |
| Relax he probably has young grand daughters and defaulted to baby talk |
|
Some older people have never gotten comfortable with opposite sex references about going to the bathroom. Not saying it's right, just saying he was trying to be helpful without getting personal/anatomical.
I really hate people like OP who seem to look for offense in anything possible. |
| I would put money on him saying Little Girl's room, not girly. OP was too worked up to hear correctly. |
| People like OP are so annoying. |
| Are you one of those people who doesn’t tip if a waitress says “Hey guys” |
You sound "difficult" to be around. |
| Ok guys, next time you see a woman looking for the facilities & you want to help, you say, “Excuse me madam, are you looking for the shi++er?” |
I read that in a Vincent Price or The Great Gildersleeve voice.

| Take the stick out he was just trying to be funny. My God. |
