Along similar lines, do you see it as a problem when men (or women) sometimes call men "boys"? Sometimes it's disrespectful, but other times it's an expression of camaraderie.
-
I refer to the above comic which says you can use any words you like in your spare time, but at work you have to be professional. Men are "men".
-
To be honest, I think using girl and boy to refer to adults has more corrosive effects in addition to sexism. It intersects with how we treat children and adults.
-
And of course since women are infantilised more than men even when they are not-yet-women (so teens and girls) it's a women's issue.
-
Professionalism at work is something we should all strive for. I can't force anybody to be professional though, I don't work in HR or the legal department, which certainly tries to ensure and promote professionalism within their organisation.
