I mean, I <I>do</I> make the distinction. In this painting, the figure is obviously a woman to me, not a girl, as shown by the nakedness paired with the shoes, the posture, the hair, everything.<BR/><BR/>I've noticed it most prominently in poetry lately, that is women becoming girls in poems, even poems that are obviously about women (adult). I'm curious about it. It seems like a backward step in feminism to me and I always wonder where it comes from. Maybe it's just the time I grew up in.<BR/><BR/>RebeccaRadish Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06534752971317927559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12844162.post-49759059828597057562008-01-08T18:47:00.000-05:002008-01-08T18:47:00.000-05:00Not quite sure what you mean...a "girl" versus a w...Not quite sure what you mean...a "girl" versus a woman, Rebecca? I wasn't drawing a distinction between the two. <BR/><BR/>I suppose I'm a woman, but I refer to myself as a girl all the time, so I don't take it as an offensive term. I also quite frequently walk around naked in the mornings. Yet I'm always clothed by 10:55 AM at the very latest.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02108785153248826337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12844162.post-77853368347078258872008-01-08T18:46:00.000-05:002008-01-08T18:46:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Scholar Connectionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11505403510590992214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12844162.post-17630157591763638222008-01-08T14:06:00.000-05:002008-01-08T14:06:00.000-05:00Why do you think she's a girl?Why do you think she's a girl?Radish Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06534752971317927559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12844162.post-89715773119014138312008-01-04T23:01:00.000-05:002008-01-04T23:01:00.000-05:00Happy New Year, Sandra!
