girls and boys

so, why is it that even a 30 year old woman is referred to as "girl" by many people, and an 18 year old boy will always be referred to as a "man"?
people, think about your language- what kind of respect is it for someone's maturity and experience to be relegated back to elementary school? and what are you telling the young people? i tell you the message that is being sent:

woman, something less than man, never mature, don't treat her as such under any circumstances, she will never grow up and be responsible for her actions, she's not an adult, lead her around and make decisions for her because she will never be truly capable of doing so.

man, you are this by birthright, your cock brings you privileges above those that women receive, you can behave any way that you would like, you are responsible for you actions- unless they are sexual, and you are free to engage in any activity that would so please you.

and consider language- most english curse words are based on sex or feminine traits or genitalia. for example, if you are a "pussy", you are something less than a man, weak, insufferable, wrong, dirty, or bad, even though you have just finished jerking your little cock off to pictures of said "pussy", which you actually happen to like quite a lot.

what the fuck is up with that? just some more reasons to call every male a boy and stomp on their putrid little egos whenever possible.
