Since a lot of women have started to call their female friends “girlfriends”, I have to wonder how women with actual girlfriends have been dealing with this lol

    This isn’t really a new thing, though… Is it? Or did I miss the era where we didn’t use “girlfriend” - at least sometimes - when talking about a female friend?

          I can tell you’re young because 30 years doesn’t seem recent to you.

          When I hear of a 70-year-old woman who’s been doing something for the last 30 years, I read that as a recent cultural change happened.
