to think not everyone has "the girls", goes out for "girly chats" etc

It does my head in and I don't know why. One of my friends is always referring to 'the girls' when she talks about her mates, and when we go for coffee together she gushes about us having such a good 'girly catch up'.

What makes it so 'girly' other than us just both being female?! I have just as good in-depth chats with male friends and I also just have a bunch of different pals who I see at different times, rather than a select group of female friends who go out on the town together as 'the girls' - usually while their boyfriends/husbands have a 'lads night out'.

Why does this annoy me so much!!

'There are perhaps lots of women reading this who would love the chance to go out with a group of other women but don't know any (and couldn't care less if they're called girls or not).'
So, Dagenham, the women on here who feel uncomfortable being referred to as children or solely interested in shoes and lipstick are just jealous?!

My sister (47) refers to her best friend (of only 5 years may I add) as her 'BFF' on Facebook. Makes my toes curl!
