Most people see "boys" or "manchild" as endearing terms with an edge of chiding, whereas "girls" has the connotation of being spoken down to.<BR/>I'm not saying either is RIGHT or that the word(s) have the same connotations for Jake, (isn't he just flirting here, though, anyways?)ZPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11872717036076663372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28396529.post-35785081421976524692007-11-10T13:05:00.000-08:002007-11-10T13:05:00.000-08:00I think it's pretty common among young women today...I think it's pretty common among young women today to call men "boys" and among teachers to refer to their students as their "babies" mostly just to show affection in the second case - but why are men called boys (especially when a lot of us wouldn't want to be refered to as girls when we are professional women? it's a good question... maybe something to do with feeling young and not being ready to accept adulthood as a concept completely...ms. v.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16032352563527935021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28396529.post-65828444773651988802007-11-09T17:43:00.000-08:002007-11-09T17:43:00.000-08:00you're a downgrader is what you are.you're a downgrader is what you are.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14390998662532912718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28396529.post-21249833790782657902007-11-09T17:42:00.000-08:002007-11-09T17:42:00.000-08:00i wonder what your deal is.
