Is it wrong to be called as a "Girl"? Atleast the cashier didn't call her "Bitch"

anthro-social-commentary!

this one was interesting. I like how I mistook the first panel as her thinking of a bottle of pills for a minute, until I looked at the second one and was like "oh, coffee cup. That makes more sense."

Not too bad.

I have plenty of friends who shorten "girlfriend" down to "girl".

Buuuuut, I can understand how a dog might not appreciate it, since it IS kind of a diminutive we apply to animals...

I thought the same thing at first that she was refering to the "good boy/girl!" type of speech directed at dogs. But then it occured to me because this is semi-autobiographical maybe it refers to a change of self, from David to Dana (did I spell it right?). But I could be thinking to hard :/ .

I started to have simular thoughts but it didn't really made sense to me.

I...still think that's where that strip was going, personally. Maybe I'm wrong, but...someone coming at this strip for the first time with no idea of DCS's history wouldn't have anywhere else to go with that; it's a bit too meta to think it's a reference to gender, I think.

I fully acknowledge that I could be wrong on that one, but...

Nah, it's a completely different situation when you look at it contextually.

It's a little patronizing to say girl instead of ma'am or miss or whatever. Isn't there some historical context also. I rather think this is a reference to the civil rights movement than the author's own life.
