Women vs. Girls + Men vs. Boys
This distinction has always been made in some form or another when relating to people. Not only in terms of youth and adulthood, but in terms of maturity, responsibility, etc.
So, there are a lot of stereotypes or generalizations out there about what differentiates a man from a boy and a woman from a girl.
If you think there is a difference between these two "poles", how would you describe them?
If not, why don't you think these distinctions do not exist? Are they just myths?
Do you think these distinctions are valid beyond the need to different between a minor and a consenting adult?
