Just curious, why do so many people refer to grown women as "girls" instead of women? Nobody ever calls grown men "boys."

I like the fact that a real woman is used as a mascot for a fast food restaurant. The "clown" and "king" mascots the other fast food joints use are creepy.

Well, that’s true . . . if those grown men happen to be black . . . that there’s like the “N” word.
