He used the phrase the girls to describe two adult women.

Christmas was great but something stuck out to me, at the time I said nothing but it annoyed me and Its still annoying me. DS BF called me and DS the girls and the moment he said it I internally cringed and wanted to say something but I didn't. I'm 31 she is 30. AIBU to be bothered by this. I know its not a major issue and overall he is nice guy.

The vacuous comments about attractiveness etc sum up my views on this really.
It is if course a minor issue, I don't think anyone dedicates their life to crusading on this. But, people are permitted boundaries and likes and dislikes. I think it's gross and will ask people not to call me a girl. I'm allowed to. I'll keep doing it. If you think that makes me 'less attractive', yeah, great.🤔 That'll be zero fucks I give about that then.

Personally id if found it cringier if he had referred to you as the "womenfolk" or worse "the luverlee laydeez" urgh!! very creepy uncle undertones. Shudders
