To me the expression 'girls' has more than the meaning of young woman these days. Seems to me that it can mean a group of woman who are friendly and have a common bond of one sort or other. I actually don't mind being 'one of the girls'. Guess it helps me feel young again.

Date: Fri, 29 Nov 2002 10:21:50 +1100 Hi Denise - yep - I dont see any of these titles as quite right for me either -all a bit generic really! Always aspired to being a "lady" when I was a tomboy kid striving to grow up but somehow didnt have the makings - supression of expression/ restraint of exuberance (sitting quietly- knees together) wasnt achievable (my mother used to sigh with defeat and say, Pinky, you swear and curse like a man!). I'm long past "girl" ; 'woman' is just a term for gender, not a title and it dpends who's saying it - although I like "I am woman, I am invincible," - "cook me some eggs, woman!" al la 'Once were Warriors' is not the kind of title I aspire to either! 'Lady' Pinky (Has a ring to it!!)
