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

    “Started?” Here in Tennessee we never stopped calling each other girlfriend.

    But as others said, “Partner.” I use it to talk about my boyfriend (since I’m a well-known demi person locally and the sex of whoever I’m with can be a massive question mark.)

      Was gonna say, women calling each other “girlfriend” when they are in fact simply friends and not dating isn’t something new at all.
