I would hope you don't actually "squee" or call yourself a "fangirl." You can be part of fandom at any age, but you are not a "girl" anymore, ma'am.

YES GOD DAMN ANYONE OVER THE AGE OF 12 WHO ENJOYS THINGS

I'm not A fangirl but I DO fangirl and squee. Of course I do when I make an awesome fandom find! SQUEEE!

;)
- OP/Fanma'am

OT but I really hate "ma'am" as a form of address. Yes I might be an adult woman, but something about that term rubs me up the wrong way. I keep thinking "I do not own a brothel!" XD

Oh and, I'll squee and call myself a fangirl if I want. I also go out with the girls, have a set of girls on my chest, and do girly things on occasion. And you can't stop me!
starphotographs: I like him. He kind of looks and acts like one of my characters. (I did not know this when I started liking him!) (Victor (...>:|))

Oh god, so do I. It just sounds so shrill and obnoxious. I'm actually not so hot on "miss," either. Both of them almost invariably sound like the person addressing you is about to accuse you of something. D:

And I don't use "sir," because it sounds like you're being a suck-up. I dunno. How hard is it to just say "excuse me" or something? :/

I'm middle-aged and I don't like being called "miss". "Miss" is for teenage girls and being middle-aged is nothing to be ashamed of.

I feel like it's a regional thing. I grew up in the south and still reflexively use Yes Sir and No Ma'am for anyone who looks like an "adult" to me (is older than me).

But I've been in places where that kind of address was taken as sarcastic, which baffled me since I thought I was being polite??

(Anonymous) 2013-09-16 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Ditto. I got into trouble when we moved near an army base - apparently 'sir' is very offensive to some people, but I was raised to call everybody sir or ma'am.

Women can be girls until they're 90 if they want to. If you're a girl, you will learn this in time anyway. If you're a boy, you have some hard lessons coming your way, dude. LOL

I feel this won't get a positive response but it is an objectively correct statement. I'm 27 and I have earned the right to be called a woman. I don't know why other women are so resistant to acknowledge that they are no longer girls.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-16 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
Because "fanwoman" sounds like a bad DC comics character.

It's called 'reclamation'.

Many of us like the term just like many male fans own the term 'fanboy' well into their middle-age-and-beyond years.

We don't give a shit about how feel a ~girl~ is actually defined.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-16 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Awesome. I'm 28 and have earned the right to be called whatever I damn well please. I'm the one that gets to make that decision.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-16 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
You're attributing a lot to my choice to call myself, in certain contexts, a fangirl. I have fought my share of battles over being called a "girl" in the workplace, and I don't see this as at all equivalent.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-17 01:10 pm (UTC)(link)
You can call me a woman. That's fine.

But you can also call me a girl, because although I'm 35, I definitely don't feel it. It's also a more accurate depiction of the way I see myself.

I'm not some overly-serious person in a three-piece suit who would never do anything undignified.

I giggle. I squee. I bounce up and down when I'm excited. I'm still carded when I go to buy spray paint despite the silver at my temples. Know what I was doing while waiting for my lunch to cook yesterday? I was coloring a picture in a coloring book. Because I'm an adult, but that doesn't mean I have to abandon childish things.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-16 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
I'm 37. I refer to myself as a girl or a woman depending on my mood and the situation. But you sure as hell better call me a woman.
