In the upcoming UK elections Labour are expected to have a large majority but a party like Reform could get 20% of the votes and end up with maybe six seats. I can't believe that 400 constituencies will have more people voting for Labour than any other party.
I don't know anyone, from various backgrounds and across the country who would vote for them so how can they win such a large majority?

I'm not talking about phrases like "let's get the boys," which also exist and are used quite frequently. I'm talking about addressing someone.
It's much more common for me to hear women being called girls. And you can't tell me "men get called guys" because that's not the same. The equivalent of "guy" is "gal." The equivalent of "girl" is "boy." People don't use the term "gal." They call women the term used to refer to children: "girl."
It's as if people are infantilizing women and taking away responsibility from them: He's a man, but she's a girl. A tiny, little, innocent girl.
