Girl or Woman?

[zippy45]

OK I saw this in an earlier post where someone asked about a girl being an escort, someone replied with girl? I hope you meant woman. Did i miss something, when does girl have an age attachment?

 

[Lo-ki]

Nope.....

Yeah, most women I know like being called “woman” over “girl”. Wouldn’t you prefer to be called “man” over “boy”?

What about "lady"
I met a beautiful lady.
Is that OK?

Better than girl! I personally prefer “woman” but at least I’m not gonna feel infantalized if you call me lady. Lady is pretty formal, like if I called you “gentleman”.

Suppose it depends on context and tone. All gendered labels can seem odd, insulting or just straight cringey when used in the wrong context.

As far as I know you are a lady in my eyes! I don't mind being called a gentleman either.
I would never use Mam unless ordered by my Dom.

Again, I prefer woman, but I can’t stop you from calling me whatever you’d like 🤷🏼‍♀️

With all respect,
A very Beautiful Woman!

I was called "dude" recently. Normally I hate being called that as I had a young employee call me that. But in this case, it was in the midst of my lovely date mid orgasm and it was like..dudddeeee!!!

I took it as a compliment

Lady always just sounds weird. It's way too old, feels too noble and kinda creepy. Whenever I read or hear someone refer to women as ladies, I instantly imagine they said it through some deep mouth breathing while showing off a sweet fedora collection.

The only way lady is acceptable is to tone down the creepy by adding a bro or dude to it. Like "Hey my ladybro" to a singular, and "Sup ladydudes" to groups. It's balance. The ing and the yang, my guy.

Woman. But I have said m'am upon rare occasion. (Kind of like that cowboy politeness thing. Must be my prairie roots!)

That's why I ask. Old and out

I prefer "boy" from the mouth of a woman, but being spoken to like I'm a dog is a kink of mine.

I don't think "lady" is weird, but "ladies" makes me think of Corey and Trevor talking about how it's all about the ladies. It smells like PUA talk.

The worst, I think, is "females." If a man refers to a woman as a "female" there's a 99% chance he's a creepy neckbeard and a 1% chance he's some kind of socially-detached biological anthropologist.

hehehe yeah I don't mind calling men boys in a kinky sort of way
I'm glad you don't think lady is weird, but I'm not sure if what you think matters seeing as you're a boy. I think it's kinda weird.
FEMALES IS SO BAD cuz it dehumanizes us. "Female" refers to any kind of animal. "Woman" or "lady" refers to a human female specifically.

NEVER USE FEMALE YOU'LL SOUND LIKE A FUCKING FERENGI

Well it's certainly not for me to decide if my opinion matters or not.

I think Wikipedia quotes some interesting insight:

The American journalist William Allen White noted one of the difficulties in his 1946 autobiography. He relates that a woman who had paid a fine for prostitution came to his newspaper to protest, not against the fact that her conviction had been reported, but that the newspaper had referred to her as a "woman" rather than a "lady". After the incident, White assured his readers, his papers referred to human females as "women", with the exception of police court characters, who were all "ladies".

White's anecdote touches on a phenomenon that others have remarked on as well. In the late 19th and early twentieth century, in a difference reflected in the British historian Nancy Mitford's 1954 essay "U vs. non-U", lower class women strongly preferred to be called "ladies" while women from higher social backgrounds were content to be identified as "women". These social class issues, while no longer as prominent in this century, have imbued some formal uses of "lady" with euphemism (e.g.: "my cleaning lady", or "ladies of the night" for prostitutes). Commenting on the word in 1953, C.S. Lewis wrote that "the guard at Holloway said it was a ladies' prison!"

It remains in use, for example, as a counterpart to "gentleman", in the phrase "ladies and gentlemen", and is generally interchangeable (in a strictly informal sense) with "woman" (as in, "The lady at the store said I could return this item within thirty days"). However, some women, since the rise of second wave feminism, have objected to the term used in contexts such as the last example, arguing that the term sounds patronising and outdated when used in this way; a man in the same context would not necessarily be referred to as a "gentleman". One feminist writer, Robin Lakoff, in her book Language and Woman's Place (1975), notably raised the issue of the ways in which "lady" is not used as the counterpart of "gentleman". It is suggested by academic Elizabeth Reid Boyd that feminist usage of the word "lady" has been reclaimed in the 21st century.

Get me a beer, wench !

"Yo girl you are hotter then my asshole after eating a handful of ghost peppers" I don't care if someone calls me boy. I love when I get asked to show my ID. Anything that makes me feel young is great. I take it as a compliment. Birthdays should not be celebrated with such Joy. Celebrating the fact that you are one year closer to demise is pretty depressing. I wish I could be 22 forever.
