re: woman, girl, whatever

[arethinn]

dancinglights brought up the term "lady" and its uses, and I made a remark myself in a comment to someone else about how I thought maybe people just used my name rather than a generic term if they needed to refer to me, but it actually does make me curious what word or words other people might use for me. Out of the following choices I think I would mostly use "girl" for myself (although as mentioned, I think I may be growing out of it). You?

"See, I think I rather would "exude femaleness". To me that is a position of power, and more generally attractive rather than just to a niche market ;)."

Ok, I see where you are coming from with this. I think for me, it's my perceived slant on sexuality, and seeing myself as "neutral" rather than male or female, hence being uncomfortable with the whole thing.
