Women only: Regarding the use of the term 'girls' to describe women.

[seabeyond]

423. of course i dont forget the 40 or so women that do not have an issue at all with girls.

i wonder if those women have experienced it in a male work force that was meant to belittle or diminish them. if in some way they got it across that it was bullshit. and feeling that they dealt with it, it really does not effect them. though, if they did handle it, then voting it doesnt bother them would not be exactly correct. they recognized and dealt with. BUT... that being said, whatever, truly. it is theirs to live, figure out, think and do. i dont believe you will find me making those comments to women, though i have not perused all my posts on this thread.

THAT being said, ..... my reply to dutch had nothing to do with those women. why would i bring them into the equation. my post to dutch was specifically about the women that posted that in some manners they found it offensive. that would be the reasoning for using that number and not the 40 women that dont care. because, it was not a part of the subject that i was addressing. specifically him saying that only three women on all of du has an issue with being called girl, and no other woman has an issue.

why would i include the 40 women that dont have issue? that is not the subject. and that is not dismissing the 40 women. if we were saying ALL women had issue, and i left out the 40, then you would have something to call me out with.

really fed.... i am not in battle with this with women. i understand we have differing view. i find the differing views more interesting than the bottomline. and i find the reasons we do this way more interesting than the numbers offended and not.

edit to add... edit again.... i went back and re read, not exactly what she said
