Around the NHL 11 - 2023/24

Is that the girl that did the performance? I had never heard of her before, and I've already forgotten her name lol

Not responding to directly, just a jumping off point.

That's Tate Mcrae, she's a Canadian (from Calgary) pop artist. At the age of thirteen, she gained prominence as the first Canadian finalist on the American reality TV show So You Think You Can Dance.

Get with the times old timers. Pick that needle up off of that 45 and evolve, adapt, embrace the new

She had a big hit with this song



And one of her most recent songs.

And now everyone knows who she is... and that view counter is going to go off the charts.

Neither. Just giving you a clue as to how you are likely perceived on this side of the gender gap.

Your examples are puerile, but you already know that. When WE want to refer to ourselves as girls, we can. You shouldn't. There's so much written on this, I can't tell if you're being clueless or trying to be funny.

Perhaps the following may help; perhaps not.

Council Post: Why Calling Women ‘Girls’ Is A Bigger Deal Than You May Think

The words we say and hear influence the way that we think about ourselves and others.

No offense, but this is a ridiculous take

Every definition of "girl" you see includes at the very least some form of "young woman" or "female of the human species"

Or take the needle off the LP 33 &1/3? I don't collect 45s.

In a more romantic way, many women like to be called girls, by the men of their attraction.

The same can be said of some men, that they want to be referred to as boys. I'd imagine that one to be less though.

Today's world is so fuk up you don't know who to call anybody without offending somebody or you end up being cancelled.

Our, you could be emotionally intelligent and take some time to learn about it. Being considerate takes no effort and it means a lot to the people you're talking to.

Steve Dangle and crew torched PLD on their podcast the other day :

I don’t think romantic nicknames are the focus of the conversation. I have started calling the man I’m dating “bunny” but it’s not something I’d use in public or advocate for others.

 

[Thechozen1]

That's funny.

SAVAGE!!!!

 

[BobTheSolarsystem]

I can't tell if you're busting my balls or being a pedant lol

I guess I'll have to let Shania know that she'll have to change the opening line of her song to "Let's go, women". Similarly, Cindy Lauper will have to re-record her big hit as "Women Just Want to Have Fun"

View attachment 814755

Also, from this point forward, people are to refer to the females who they are dating as "my womanfriend" provided they're older than the age you referred to but didn't specify (and the height reference is just plain weird... can I still call a tiny 54 year old "girl" because she doesn't meet your height requirement?)

I can't believe that I had the audacity to call a 20 year old female a "girl"...

That broad sure sings good for a chick

 

[Hobble]

Maybe she can fix our power play!!

Give her the dry-erase board. I hear she knows a lot about exes and O’s.

Right. I just thought to mention it because you said that women only like to call themselves girl.

I wasn't arguing with the message that you meant behind your words, there is truth to it, I was just adding a truthful aside.

Bunny sounds like a really cute nickname.

I have a t-shirt for that...

You can call me a Dude, i don't mind.

 

[AtomicJets]

I better not hear any women saying "Let's go boys!" at the next Jets game.... Those are MEN dammit. Look how old and tall they are!

Our, you could be emotionally intelligent and take some time to learn about it. Being considerate takes no effort and it means a lot to the people you're talking to.

It’s hard to effectively learn about a topic in which there is no logic or internal consistency beyond “morality is what I say is right, and immorality is what I say is wrong”.

Now, if someone personally asked me not to refer to them in a certain way, from a position of mutual respect and authority, that’s one thing.

But to deride someone for not knowing the “obvious” exceptions as to why it’s okay for adult women to call young adult males “boys” but not vice versa, in a post using a word literally meaning “boy-like” as a pejorative to boot, I think that’s a little harsh.

And if we want to stick to music as a context, since I’m already having my boomer sensibilities attacked:

I agree, and I also struggle with the concept. It's ever-changing and I find myself thinking some of it is silly.

My core point was more a response to those people who can't be bothered to at least try to learn to address people in a way that makes them feel respected.

I f*** up all the time. I call people man, dude, bro. For me it's not gender specific - no disrespect, it's actually a term of endearment for me. However, you can imagine for someone with gender dysmorphia who's felt tortured by being assigned the incorrect gender that that could bring up pain for them.

I very bashful apologize and try to be more considerate, because if I can do that one thing to make them feel respected, why the hell wouldn't I?

It is such a strange subject. I work with a guy who I referred to as Steve. He doesn't like to be called Steve and prefers Steven. So I call him Steven. Everyone does. We have a non binary person working with us now who goes by they/them. Does not want to be referred to she/her. Some people lost their marbles over it including Steven.

Has the idea of polite society just gone now?

But lets drop the conversation for now and take it to PMs. This is a hockey forum after all

God, it's been so long without hockey. The wife says its been only 10 days but it feels like a month or more.

It's only cute when it's kept within the couple that uses it. Otherwise, pet names range from cringe-worthy to stomach-turning.

Yeah, I was maybe a little too snippy there. I apologize for my comments.

You can call me a Dude, i don't mind.

Okay, Sweetie.

Shania Twain is the woman and we're all just girls in her world.

I appreciate your wife as a valuable contributor and voice of reason on HFJets.
