Mayim Bialik has put out a call for everyone to stop referring to grown women as "girls."

"In fact, it implies that they are inferior to men." "The terms we're using for women are outdated and insensitive and they assume a structure of power where men are on the top and women are on the bottom," she went on to say. "It's up to us to change this narrative. To those of you who call women 'girls,' I say this: I know your intentions are probably good, but I hope you can learn to see the unintended and negative impact your words can have."
