[quote=Anonymous]We = women, as in adult human females who bear the primary responsibility for reproducing. I didn't personally fight the fight to be called a woman instead of a girl, but I sure as hell appreciate those who did (yes, including both of my grandmothers). If you are okay being called a "girl," you are okay being infantilized and marginalized. If you are a "girl," it's easier to take away your rights. The term is not fun and flirty. It's demeaning. Or perhaps you are young enough and haven't lived enough life to understand that discrimination against women still exists. Come back and post after you have had a high profile case taken away and given to a male colleague with a stay at home wife, or have been the only woman in a room full of men and have to talk twice as loud and be twice as aggressive to be heard, or been cornered in an elevator by an older male colleague. Adulting comes whether you are tired or not. [/quote]
