Infantilizing 17 year old women (who can join the US Army btw) by calling them children or girls is demeaning AF.
On the flip side, calling some of these 17 year old children “women” is demeaning to those who are. I’ve met both types of 17 year olds.
Don't be an idiot. Science is real and nature makes us adults long before we turn 17. Your opinions mean nothing. Fact is fact.
