I belong to an excellent list serv called the “Tech Lady Mafia.” One of its members, Shawna Hein,
28, a user experience designer from Berkeley, recently expressed
annoyance on the list at the widespread use of the word “girls” to
describe women long past elementary school age.
“I first started thinking about it when Girl With A Dragon Tattoo
came out,” says Hein by phone. “It’s a whole action series where the
main character is a bad ass, and yet she’s called a girl. You never see
an action hero with boy in his name.”
