Parallel Usage

I hate when women my age are referred to as girls. Would you ever call a 21-year-old man a boy?

Notes

  1. moreapologies answered: I have corrected so many students of mine about that. “Seriously, she’s 25! Would you call that man beside you a boy!?”
  2. mariacelina answered: Well, I consider males of all ages to be considered “boys” than “men”, but I’m sure that’s not the approach that you’re trying to tackle. =)
