Young Men Resent Being Referred To As Boys. Do Women Feel Offended If Referred To As Girls?
I am sometimes offended by being considered a "girl" if I am in the work place or some other setting if I want respect. However, now that I am in my thirties, it is nice to hear "girl" or "miss" in a social setting rather than "ma'am. " I like to feel younger, and being a girl is a compliment now.
Just as many mature men, even young men, resent being referred to as boys, many adult women today are offended if referred to as girls, or the less formal gals. In business and professional offices, the practice of referring to one’s secretary as the girl or my girl, as in “I’ll have my girl look it up and call you back,” has decreased but not disappeared entirely. Such terms as the girls in reference to a group of women, girl or gal Friday in reference to a female secretary or assistant, and bachelor girl in reference to an unmarried woman are increasingly regarded as offensive, and working girl in the sense “a woman who works” is declining in use.
As for me, I am quite happy being referred to as a girl, thank you very much. In fact, I love hanging out with “my girls,” I love being girlie, I love using the phrase “just being a girl” as an excuse for countless offenses and I love that everything “girlie” is just a little bit more fabulous. My modest sweater kittens aside, there are more than a manicured handful of things that make me a delicious debutante: my bathroom is awash in a sea of Mac, Clinique, Bumble and Bumble, Bloom, OPI, Smashbox, Lancome and Kiehl’s; I often cry during commercials; I often cry for no reason; my CD collection contains nothing short of Jewel, Hanson, John Mayer and Jann Arden records and I’m rather proud of it; I own every season of Sex and the City on DVD; I take pride in knowing that my bras and panties always match each morning; my toenails are never without pretty polish; my skin smells delicate 24/7; I have more jewelry than I have room for; my bed sheets are a lovely fusion of navy and fuchsia and they’re always clean; I buy new pairs of shoes for special occasions and sometimes for no reason at all; and yes, I too at one time fantasized about being “Baby Houseman.”
There is one thing I will admit to…for the life of me, I cannot understand why any girl for the life of her would resort to the “bend and snap.”.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
