        *female. I can find even more synonyms if you want.

        And she was only 20 years old filming that scene, not even drinking age of the us. I think it’s not degrading to call a 20 years old woman a girl

          drinking age in the us isn’t indicative of maturity. 20 is legally an adult. girls are children. and only aliens and incels call human women females as a noun. please don’t find any more “synonyms”, you’re making it worse.

            Im an alien. Maybe its a translation thing, in my native language young women are still called girls, there is nothing condescending to call someone a girl even in her 20s. We call children “litte girl”. I learn new things about amerikan culture every day on lemmy.

            Everybody my age and younger is a girl. My age and older is a woman. There’s a little blue around my age. I’m 36. My wife and I, and our husband and wife friend couples, I refer to us as guys and girls.

              first of all, friend groups are different. people call their friends “kids” too. that’s different from infantilizing strangers.

              second of all, yes, “guys” and “girls”. people don’t call adult strangers boys. yet they do that with women all the time.
