Bravo: When Does a “Girl” Become a Woman?

Oh Jeez. A few minutes ago I made the mistake of channel surfing. I landed on Bravo’s “Real Housewives of New York.” One of the “real housewives” was entertaining her former maid in a backyard sit-down — a weathered table, green grass, blue sky, a breeze and lemonade — when, while essentially saying good-bye, she said, “I had to hire another girl.”
Okay. That’s it. When grown women are “girls” I’ve had enough. I mean, the “liberal media” refers to 15-year-old boys as “men,” but 20, 25, 30, 40-year-old women are “girls?”
A puppy becomes a dog after about two years. A filly becomes a mare after three or four years. A kitten becomes a cat after one year. But female humans are “girls” forever?
No. Bye-bye Bravo.
