00:00Sorry folks, I have to do this.
00:02We have to stop calling women, girls.
00:15You would never say to someone, go ask that boy behind the bank counter if the notary's
00:20here today.
00:20We never call men boys because it's demeaning and emasculating.
00:31Why?
00:32Because it matters what we call people.
00:34Language matters, words have meaning.
00:37And the way we use words changes the way we frame things in our mind.
00:41So when we use words to describe adult women that are typically used to describe children,
00:45it changes the way we view women, even unconsciously.
00:52The terms we're using for women are outdated and insensitive, and they assume a structure
00:57of power where men are on the top and women are on the bottom.
