[PD] [OT] Re: about sexism is TERMINATE THREAD PLEASE

[.·:*¨¨*:·.darsha.·:*¨¨*:·.]

Hi people

If this thread has to continue please feel free to substitute the word
'girls' for 'women' or 'sisters' even.  I am not sure what the count is but
I can imagine that there are very few actual girls on this list (that would
be pretty cool though...bunch of lurking little girls, hi, hi).

I am in my mid twenties and I don't really like being called 'girl'.  A girl
is a female child...  The other women on this list may not agree with this
or they may not even care about it one single bit or they may even be
annoyed that I am bringing it up (if this is the case then sorry ladies)...


My little sister who is 15 (and fond of gem) is someone who I consider a
girl or maybe even a young lady....If there were more like her on this list
then maybe girl would be the right term...To be honest though, I wouldn't
recommend that she join this list at this point in her life...This thread
makes my skin crawl.
