I don't mind, we often call ourselves "girls" regardless of age. What I find objectionable is calling us "sluts" or worse, although GameFaqs moderators apparently find locker room talk appropriate for gaming forums.

It's a problem with our language. Guys get to be guys without being little boys or formal men. Girls don't really have that same middle option. It might be nice to have a unique feminine equivalent to guy, but since we don't, girl is usually fine if it's not a context where you would use "men."

Stop telling people what to do.

I like calling girls girls, especially if a chick is cute, then she's totally a girl. I'm a guy, a girl is a girl, what the heck is wrong with that?

Would you want to be called boy? Girl and boy refer to children

Lady, woman, gal, whatever... There are other words without the child implication

I dunno, does gals feel like it fits what you're saying is missing ? I feel like you wouldn't call a group of teenage girls gals, but I'm not sure.

The whole boy/girl thing is like veganism. Most people don't particularly care whether you exclusively refer to children with the words or not, but if someone does care they'll definitely tell you.

I have always considered girl the opposite of guy.

Yeah, I guess gal....could be, but almost nobody uses that.

Us guys are going out for drinks tonight.

Us girls are going out for drinks tonight.

Those guys are seriously checking you out.

Those girls are totally looking at you man.

Seriously, who has a problem with using girls? It's not designating chicks as children or something, it's just the feminine term for guy (at least the one that has been most widely used). Yes, gal may work as well, but how often do you hear "I spent a night out with the gals?" even from other women?

Girls are the norm, for both genders to use, at least throughout my life and in the areas I have lived.

Are you forgetting about the term gal? Also a guy doesnt necessarily have to be a male. It can refer to someone of either gender.

Oh, wait, that sounds stupid, which is the exact reason why I don't say that.

I don't call guys men, I call them guys. I'll call girls girls, because I feel that it's close enough without sounding stupid.

Many women don't like to be called girls I'll give you that, but i'd be sure the majority don't give a damn if they called women or girls and will also refer to themselves as a girl even in the old ages.

The bigger issue is the completely estrogen laced soyboy numale fad of calling women females.

I saw an attractive female the other day. This isnt biology class. Shes a woman/lady/girl/whatever. Its the biggest indicator for me that someone is a virgin online.


As opposed to a virgin offline? =p tbh, I've never heard anybody call a woman a female outside of a clearly joking context.
