is it time to stop with the 'girls' day/night out shit?

[FrankietheSquealer]

Its patronising

[FrankietheSquealer]

and what is the relevance of there being no MEN there?

Or even women going out?

[MadAngryGnome]

Yes. YANBU. Shits me to tears.

[FrankietheSquealer]

LOVE that expression

[chubbymummy]

[Kamden]

YABU. I say that I am going out with my "girls" to mean my group of 3 best friends that I've known since childhood. It's easier to say "girls", than Pamela, Anne and Sarah.

[FrankietheSquealer]

i hate that biscuit more though?
You come onto a thread to post a biscuit. At least say WHY it doesnt bother you

[FrankietheSquealer]

i am out with my friends?

[hotfuzzra]

Isn't it just a female version of Lads' night out? Cannot get worked up about this.
(Might be missing something...?)

[vindscreenviper]

I know somebody who went for a "girlie day out" with her daughters to celebrate her 60th birthday.

They also had a "cheeky glass of fizz" with the afternoon tea.

[FrankietheSquealer]

OR OR also hate
' oh my husband is TAKING ME OUT'

gasps for air

[Reginafalangie]

Why does it matter?

Most of my friends are part of a couple and do lots of couples nights out sometimes they decide to have a girls night out and the men go for a boys night out. I don't see why saying that is such a big deal. Men and women sometimes feel more relaxed/comfortable when out with just people of the same gender. Announcing it as such makes it clear that the opposite gender is not invited.

I wouldn't cry or get angry over the expression I would just choose not to use it. Some people can get dramatic over the most ridiculous things.

vindscreen

what are you trying to do to me?

[Cactuar]

Nowt wrong with a cheeky glass of fizz

[FrankietheSquealer]

or worse the rather posh brittle blondes who say ' i am meeting an old girlfriend'

me ' oh i didn't know you were gay'


them ' er no.'

its just a FRIEND

[FrankietheSquealer]

its not cheeky

its a fucking glass of Gallo Grenache

[SirChenjin]

It's more patronising being told what we should or shouldn't do. If it doesn't sit well with you then don't use the words.

[forago]

I agree, also Ladies Day, so twee and there are men there.

[vindscreenviper]

what are you trying to do to me?

I'm trying to make you cry or get angry.

Is it working?

[FrankietheSquealer]

i know sir chenin

I KNOW

HELP ME

[FrankietheSquealer]

i think my heart is racing Vindy

[SirChenjin]

You're beyond help if something so trivial gets you this upset.

Soz

[FrankietheSquealer]

wah!

[MrsGentlyBenevolent]

Seriously, op? It's just a term to describe a collective - just like 'boys' night out'. Good lord, some people find the most amazingly irrelevernt things to get wound up about.
