It bothers me. I am 41 but it's bothered me ever since I was 17 or so. It has always felt belittling and kind of like I'm being cut off at the knees, so to speak. Why shouldn't I get credit for my time served here in this life? If I'm a "girl" does that mean I count for less? And, if I am a girl, then what are all these female children?
