Search Results: emoticons

I have re-won the heart of my Snapchat Girlfriend™️ after I posted photos showing my weight loss, where she even had the audacity to comment on, saying something about "hard work." She sent me snaps, rather than me doing it first this time. I sent her one last snap at 11:11pm until she said Goodnight (finally something that wasn't an abbreviation from her) at 11:21pm. My guess was that she did that because she viewed all my Instagram stories including that one screenshot depicting a tweet of a girl saying don't talk to me if you say gn instead of goodnight or ty instead of thank you. She basically just went with the flow and decided not to piss me off.. I said "Goodnight :)" (same writing as her but with an emoticon) at 11:42pm (1:42am in her area)

I must admit, this really bothers me big time. The only thing more bothersome to me is when people assume religion and spirituality are the same thing and interchangeable. I expect people to know better.

Even in emoticons, they separate the girls and women. Girls with pigtails and women without them. See below? This is a woman, girl, man, boy.

👩 (woman)
👧 (girl)
👨 (man)
👦 (boy)

People need to start calling people right based on age and gender unless you want to just use male and female all the time.

You hardly hear of men referred to as boys. Only things like homeboys or hanging out with my boys in the crib. Stuff like that said. Honestly they are called men in very formal instances while women many times will still be called girls and rarely women at a large rate.

Please explain why this is! Does it bother you also?

When I hear of women called girls, it makes me think the callers of that don't expect the women to take accountability or responsibility but men are said to be a man and be the best man he can be.
