all the little girls
a man i know (who had been drinking) insisted on calling me a girl. lately i have become more vocal about certain things, so i informed him that i disliked the term "girl." as in
"hey girl what's up"
"hah, yeah i'm not really a girl anymore. how's it going?"
this caught him off guard. since we were friendly i said he could refer to me as a woman, or in conversation as "dude" since that is the term i use to refer to many of my own friends, male or female. this triggered him to go on a tirade. this world has become too PC, oh yeah sure i'm a white lower class male sure use that against me, you know very well what i mean when i say girl, we're all boys and girls and it's not demeaning, that's feminist bullshit, etc. i don't really know where all this came from. the end result was roaring mad, with him saying i had not the experience to make me a woman (with references to how prude i am in conversations about sex) and that i wanted to be treated like a child so he was going to treat me like a child and thus call me a girl because that's what i am.
i was rather stunned. i told him to have a good weekend and walked away. he is promptly defriended, blocked, and ignored. i don't know what else to do with that. i'm amazed i considered him a friend (via another friend) or if not that just a friendly acquaintance. i guess with some people you never know, huh?

The funny thing, that whole tirade? Him acting like a child.

PS no male person I know refers to himself as a "boy." Not since I was in preschool.

i do refer to dudes who are male and my own age as "boys." wonder if i should evaluate that.
