Deleted. I decided to edit myself. OK, now I'm re-editing that original post, which touched on the backwardness of North Dakota. A coworker today (male, older) ended our conversation with "Good girl!"
I'm 53. Sheesh!
It's a good thing I'm not a feminist, because I'm pretty sure one of my more forward-thinking friends would have clocked him.
Can you imagine if tomorrow I said "Good boy"?
I shared the anecdote with my daughters, who were appropriately horrified.
And no, I am not one of those women who barks at men who dare to be courteous and hold a door. Quite the opposite, in fact.
I think I said this on here just recently, but I really gotta get back East. Or at least out of the Great Plains for a bit.
