I also speak up when someone uses the term ‘girl’ to describe a grown woman. There is an important difference here as well, infantilizing places women in a inferior position.

An example is ‘girls gone wild’, which is problematic on multiple levels, equating sexuality with children being the worst.

I was recently talking with the ‘girls’ in the office. Or, women referring to themselves and others as ‘boss babes’.

Nope. Language is perception and perception leads to reality, so what reality are we creating?
