At what age should females not be viewed as helpless little girls?---r1

During American Idol when the judges were really hard on the female contestants, some were upset that the judges were putting it to these helpless "girls". In colleges when girls get drunk of their own will and have "relations" with a fellow drunk male student, many say these "girls" were taken advantage of. We have females serving in the military in Iraq and many are being referred to as just little "girls". When Monica got into it with Clinton, many said how dare he take advantage of that poor "girl".

In the instances stated above, most of the females were aged 19-25. Yet they were viewed as basically "girls". Is this just because our society doesn't encourage personal responsabilty anymore? Can we excuse the actions of the drunk female or Monica by simply saying they are girls?

Last I knew females aged 19-25 were women, fully capable of making their own adult decisions. Maybe that isn't the case anymore. So at what age, should females be viewed as adults and not as these helpless little girls?

The main problem here is that parents tend to be more protective toward girls than boys, maybe because they have the families, and are more sensitive generally when it comes to emotions  
Date: 7/26/2003 3:39:00 PM  From Authorid: 46530    LOL LSR, thanks  
Date: 7/26/2003 3:39:00 PM  From Authorid: 46527    For once I actually agree with my 'better' half up there ^^^^  
Date: 7/26/2003 3:45:00 PM  From Authorid: 53052    helpless little girls are 5 years old... every girl is different some mature faster then others, a 16 year old raised very sheltered is helpless but a 16 year old who knows what goes on in the world is not helpless...  
Date: 7/26/2003 4:21:00 PM  From Authorid: 27705    girls my age aren't helpless just stupid or better said ignorant sometimes they are all responislbe for their own actions life is just that way peace and love regina  
Date: 7/26/2003 4:24:00 PM  From Authorid: 48689    I know you may not see it as I do, but it totally depends on the girl. I am not veiwed as little, but I am only 15.  
Date: 7/26/2003 4:37:00 PM  From Authorid: 24924    When they STOP projecting themselves as "helpless little girls". This can occur at any age; and some NEVER do stop.   
Date: 7/26/2003 5:04:00 PM  From Authorid: 21867    *applauds Thinker* Bingo...right there...  
Date: 7/26/2003 5:06:00 PM  From Authorid: 35720    Some women have that "helpless little girl" aura about them for YEARS after they're even labeled as a "girl".  
Date: 7/26/2003 7:48:00 PM  From Authorid: 58030    girls are not helpless, and woe to the boy who thinks i am.. Most girls are not helpless, my little cousin in fact (4) got so fed up with this guy that she threw mud at him, she got fed up with her brother pickin on her so she punched him and made him cry, ~moonstorm kickin boys tail since 1989~  
Date: 7/26/2003 8:51:00 PM  From Authorid: 22080    when you are capable of deciding whether or not you can stick a ballot in a box your no longer helpless  
Date: 7/26/2003 9:15:00 PM  From Authorid: 58030    so then jestr? do u find yourself helpless?  
Date: 7/27/2003 7:06:00 PM  From Authorid: 22080    ...not really lol, why do you ask  
Date: 7/27/2003 7:24:00 PM  From Authorid: 55967    If anyone can get off on the excuse that they were just a "little girl," then they should be treated as such in all respects. If they get into trouble and are excused because of being immature, then they should not be treated as mature in any other area until they prove their maturity. This goes for guys, too. "He's just a kid. Let him go." Okay, then that "kid" is grounded, and can't see his friends for a month. Forget that he's 20. If people can't have responsibility for their actions in times of temptation and in times when they should know what they're in for, then they should be treated as irresponsible children in all aspects of their lives until they really do grow up. Incidently, I read before that the government considers women as adults at 18, and men as adults at 21. Interesting.  
Date: 7/27/2003 9:38:00 PM  From Authorid: 58030    lol i don't remember..... hmm, that was the other nights suga rush... mmmmm sugar..  
Date: 7/27/2003 11:11:00 PM  From Authorid: 3321    Its not a lack of responsibility, it is, however, a male-norm and regardless of advances still is a man's world. Every standard is from what is normal for a man. So when a woman doesn't live up to that standard, she's a "girl" or unworthy and whatnot. And if she does live up to the standard...well, I think you can think of the choice words you men have for us.
