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

        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.
