Is it disrespectful to call grown women "girls"?

[CaptainWacky]

IS IT, GIRLS?

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Me and my friends are often addressed as "boys" by teachers.

 

[CaptainWacky]

But teachers are snooty.

 

[Cassie]

It's not disrespectful if you don't mean it to be.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Ignorance is no excuse.

is it because you is black?

[curiousa2z]

oops double vision!

 

[curiousa2z]

yeah, the attitude behind the comment is everything; I have male friends who can call me a girl (usually the gay ones, oddly enough) with no reproach from me.
But from others it's condescending and THEY MUST DIE.

ermmm did I say that out loud?

Not at all, my daughters are 26 and 24 and they'll always be my girls.

They're the only adult women I refer to like that, though.

[Cassie]

IT WAS ONLY A DREAM

 

[CaptainWacky]

Should they be the Spice Women instead? Or Spice Bags?

 

[CaptainWacky]

Urgh. Them.

 

[Cassie]

Spice Grans?

I have a friend who objected to being called a girl (she's in her 30's).

 

[CaptainWacky]

As is her right.
