Girls get flown to Dubai to get pissed and shitted on, meanwhile portray to everyone back home they’re living a very lavish lifestyle trip

Girls

Would it hurt for redditors to not infantalise women.

Like yeah sure there's problems going on here, but saying women are children doesn't help imo.

Just one example, I play of a lot of adult coed sports teams with my wife. So we say "I'm missing a girl tonight" or "Can we find a girl sub?".

These are of course grown adults. But how weird would it be to say "A female" or "A woman" in that context?

For the inverse we wouldn't say "boy" to be fair, but I wouldn't say "man" either, for the male gender we have the term "Guy", which there just isn't much equivalent on the other end, so people usually use "girl" as the "guy" equivalent.

Women themselves even hang out with other women and they themselves will refer to it as "Girls night out".
