      So we are going to police totally normal words and how they are used in a sentence? Has anyone here actually looked up the definition for “girl” before manufacturing this outrage? SMFH, there is enough legitimate things to be upset about.

      girl
      /gûrl/

      noun

      1. A female child.
      2. A daughter.
      3. A woman.
      4. A woman socializing with a group of women.
      5. Used as a familiar form of address to express support of or camaraderie with a woman.
      6. A female sweetheart.
      7. A female servant or employee.
      8. A young person of either sex; a child

        Interesting. Did not expect that definition.

        When you choose to use a word that can imply you are a pedo through its ambiguity, you might wanna choose a different word.

        No one is “outraged”, just expressing the ick felt when an adult in their twenties says they “wanna fuck girls”. It’s gross enough that they’ve got “a list of pussies they want to fuck”, but to refer to that list with a term that often means juvenile is extra gross.

        Using “girl” to describe an adult woman is going out of style, just like using “boy” to describe an adult man started going out of style like twenty years ago.
