They are big girls. I'm sure if they had a problem being called "girls" they would have done something about it long before now.

That was my thought. Well, my first thought was 'are you part of the G.O.S. group? If not, why do you care at all?'
It's a group that brings together 'girls' or 'women' that love to ride their Spyders. That's all, no drama, nothing else.

..and I'm over 50 years old. I tell people my inner child is close to service. I consider myself a girl most of the time.

we are women who think we are girls when we ride our Spyders.....youth!!!!!

Really!
I can't believe this is even being asked. I hate being calling Mrs. (Insert last name) it makes me feel old.
I want to remain young until I die, which means I'm a Girl all the way!

First of all, this post makes no sense to me "insulting in common in usage males". Huh? However, if we were Women on Spyders, the acronym would be WOS, and none of us are wussies!! If you really knew some of us, you would see that we are 'girls at heart', enjoying our lives through ryding and being there for each other. There have been no complaints about any of us being part of GOS.
This is one of those 'politically correct' complaints that has no merit for the members of GOS.

I've looked a couple of times and I cannot find Girls on Spyders. Is there something else I should be trying?
Thanks

I've submitted a request to join the group. Riding a '14 RTS.
In regard to the "girl" comments, I see that it can be derogatory or as a term of endearment, but it all depends on the situation and the relationship with the person using the terms. A "girls night out" doesn't bother me but, at 60, I don't respond well to someone referring to me in the third person using that word.
I was given the nick name " Big Girl" when I was in my 20's. That name was given to me by my team mates, but that was years ago and in a different lifetime.
