Inspired by a couple of other threads...

Cat fight
Bimbo
Glamourous (in the context of, say, Glamourous Lawyer Amal Clooney)
Maiden name (birth name is preferable, I think)
Losing of virginity (any other firsts like first house, first pay packet etc are not depicted as losses)
Busty

Open to suggestions and discussions on my choices!

Balls to the wall or any use of balls to mean bold or brave
Man up

YonicSleighdriver · 13/12/2014 11:33

I do quite like "strap on some ovaries" though!

In a similar vein, "backs against the wall, lads" and similar homophobia.

Inspired by another thread...

"having it all"

Why intelligent women seriously discuss this concept as if it is anything other than a dated, misogynist put-down is beyond me.

TondelayoSchwarzkopf · 13/12/2014 11:42

I'll keep glamorous though (puts on red lipstick)

TondelayoSchwarzkopf · 13/12/2014 11:44

Oh and "older woman" used to describe anyone over 35.

Mathematically, as our life expectancy is mid-eighties, an older woman is 60 plus
An old woman is past 90 Grin

YonicSleighdriver · 13/12/2014 11:54

I don't want Glamourous to vanish overall, I guess I want irrelevant appearance descriptors for women to disappear where they aren't used for men.

Yes, men need to claim glamorous for themselves. Some men are very glamorous.

Purpleflamingos · 13/12/2014 13:00

Rape
Slavery
Submissive
Kidnapped

  • as in, there would be no need to use these words because they no longer exist (slinks off back to a bubble world). I know they always have and always will, it's just infuriatingly wrong that some people see others as commodities or objects rather than people.
DisneyDivaWoo · 13/12/2014 13:03

"run like a girl"
"hit like a girl" etc
Boils my pics.

"Beauty therapy"

grimbletart · 13/12/2014 13:54

"Can see she wears the trousers" - to describe any marriage/partnership where the woman is not a doormat.
