Okay. At church today a rather nice chap came up to a friend of mine to say hi. Nice. But he said 'Hi Girls'. My friend is 50 and I'm coming up to 65. I just said nicely - X,,, I am not a girl - I am a woman. He looks nonplussed. He says he means it as a compliment that we look good still!
Hmm.
I pointed out that at almost 65 I am NOT a girl. I am a woman.
He is nice. He just looked surprised. But to me being referred to as 'girl' infantises me, makes me less of an adult, puts me at a lower status ... Yukkity yuk yuk. Have we not achieved anything?!
Sorry. Rant over.
Well Labour’s “patriotism” didn’t last very long, did it? 🇬🇧
