A night with no men - what do you call it?

[cheesesconesaremyfavourite]

This has me stumped. Generally when a friend organises a night out or night in or lunch purely for females the text normally reads something like this:-

"Anyone up for a Girls' night out on Friday etc"
"Girlie night round at mine this Saturday etc"
"Planning a Ladies Lunch at The Crown on Thursday etc"

I don't really consider myself a girl, girlie or lady - just a woman. So if I'm organising something I find the wording really difficult when texting or whats'apping. It just seems to read a bit oddly if I write "Anyone up for a women's night out next Friday?"

My DH has no problem using Boys' Night or Lads' Night and most people just accept the term Girls' Night or Ladies' Lunch but it doesn't sit comfortably with me. I'm ok accepting invitations worded in any form but if I initiate one I don't feel comfortable with the term girl or lady. Am I overthinking?

We say laydeeeez night in an ironic fashion as I detest “girlie/girls” night. Yuk!

Same here. The more Es and Zs the better

I think in this very specific context “girls’ night out” is acceptable, especially as “boys’ night out” is also commonly used.

However, I’ve been known to say “oh that evening will be women only” sometimes too.

"child free night"

or 'how about drinks on Friday? Sandra and Sarah can come, I'll let Jess know.
That's fine but we have one friend who would use that as an excuse to bring her DH along.
He sits there like a lump of coal and drags the night down.
' hey girls night, my place. Friday' definitely works best for me and my mates!

Depends if he's pissed me off lately. If he hasn't, its girls night. If he has its wankerless Wednesday.

We call it a Crones Convention!

Not me, but round here I hear ‘just lasses’ but I’m in semi rural Lancashire so maybe it’s a regional thing.

Girls nighr out is no different to mens night out.
In my opinion, women reffering to a night out with their friends as a girls night out is fine, not offensive or a feminist issue.
Men referring to adult females in a professional/work capacity as girls is not fine and is a feminist issue.
