"Why do our younger colleagues freely call themselves girls?"

Because they're not self-hating, dried up old witches with attitude problems?

Just a guess

You are correct. Also they know for sure that they are not boys.

My daughter and friends her age are all in search of guys who went to Man School. She even quizzed her (now) husband on stuff like wiring some lighting, fixing a leaky toilet and the always important spider killing. These girls have seen what happens when you try to be something you aren't.

QUOTING THE ARTICLE:

...and were ready to pounce on any guy who didn't go along with us so we could reveal him to be the male chauvinist that he was.

There seems to be a flat-lined learning curve here...

These chicks were so busy being assertive, intelligentsia-chic, poltically-correct and in-your-face--permanently angry/b*tchy/PMS-stressed....

They couldn't get invited to the demolition derby on a rainy Saturday night...

Perfect! I am 38 and I refer to myself and my girlfriends as "girls" all the time...and I am in no way a "self hating, dried up old witch with an attitude problem"! :) (I certainly can be a B--tch at times, but that's not always a bad thing! In fact my personal motto is: "You say I'm a B--tch like it's a bad thing" hehe! ;D
