Search Results: what to say when i call

I have no idea if this is a view the majority of women hold but I've seen women online who are super offended by the words female and girl.

Something about the word female being animal like and the word girl being used to describe children and as such it's dehumanizing when men use those words instead of just saying women.

I do realize the irony of asking if girl is offensive on a site literally called "girls ask guys."

As a man I don't believe I get to have an opinion on it but as long as it's nothing something like "men and females" or "men and girls" then I would guess it's not offensive. Say males and females or guys and girls or boys and girls. But not men and females or girls.

To me, I call that "underemployment." Sure, a job is a job, but if you have specialized training and/or a degree in something and most of the added jobs out there are assembly line workers and menial labor roles, I don't see those as being job market successes.

Imagine being a seasoned software engineer or an attorney to then have to go work on a hot factory floor behind an assembly line or nailing frames together on a building. Let's say $18/hr vs $55/hr... that's a huge difference.

Yes, those jobs are more suitable for some, and there isn't anything necessarily bad about them, but for those who put the extra time and efforts to educate themselves further, that's a huge slap in the face.
