Hi -- not to be a PC Police Officer - but please know that the words "ladies" and "girl" aren't used today. "Lady" implies that there is status that isn't there. "GIRL" implies a female child. Please be a woman who doesn't drag other women down. What you do when you use words that imply a certain (negative) status degrades YOU and all women.

This has always been one of my pet peeves: the infantilization of women. People will NEVER get a clue about this. If someone calls me a "girl" I go ballistic! At 67, those years are looooong gone! Thank you!

Hey Lucky 1038, I wrote that comment almost a year ago when I first got out of the hospital and was facing a very big challenge and learning curve on “living” with colon cancer. One year later, I have embraced my situation and have shared my journey with others on this site. I probably have “matured” in more ways than one. sasha.
