Just havin a discussion in chat n I like calling women burdz - I cant see the harm in it as it holds no bad connotations but do others find this sort of thing not good?
Just don't call 'em babe. The chicks don't like it.
men call us women birds/burds etc because of all the worms we pick up
and i find it mildly irritating
I dislike almost all 'names' men habitually call women. They all describe women as weaker, smaller, dependent, younger. When I get called chick, bird, girl etc I feel the man is trying to express his dominance over me, my insignificance compared to him. It's 100 times worse when a stranger does it.
And you know the worst thing? It's endemic in society to the point that even women think it's normal and, god forbid, cute.
If a guy is talking about a female he has met in the chat room - what the hell is wrong with calling her a woman?
Even 'girl' implies prepubescent child. On here? That is hardly appropriate. I stopped being a girl at the same age that the men on here stopped being boys.
(And don't get me started on 'THE wife')
