Perhaps it is meant to offend. Those that are easily offended by comman phrases are generally the type of women to pull said guy away from his male friends. Just perhaps.

I don't appreciate the assumption that women who are offended by being called something that demeans them are the "type" of women who pull a man away from his friends. I don't believe that "stealing" a man away from his friends is a gender issue, it's a maturity and insecurity issue... on both sides of the relationship. I do not want/have never wanted/will ever want to take my SO away from his friends. And I am still offended by these so-called "common phrases." I'm wondering how using a certain phrase just because it is common and is the norm makes it so right? So the appropriateness of something is justified because the majority does/says it?
