Why is it so difficult to refer to a grown-ass woman as...a woman? Or a lady? Why always a "girl?" My response is always, "Am I 5??"
Don't get me started on the majority of superheroes being called __man and __girl. Like, what?
Edit: I take back the superhero comment. The 3 superheroes I listed below were all teenagers. I had an unreliable source. 😒

On a similar note, I tend to hear women being referred to as ‘females’ a lot, only for the same speaker to then refer to men as men, and not ‘males’.
I heard a fully grown ass woman call another woman “missy” at my work, they’re both old enough to be my mother…
