64. I agree that it can be used that way BUT it can also be used in another way which
is how I think Obama was using it and how I've used it to describe one of my daughters (I am a girl too - aka "Mom"). I have one "girly" girl who loves everything pink and frilly, dresses and just girl stuff in general. I have one daughter who doesn't like any of that type of thing.

When I say she is a "girly" girl I am not using it in a derogatory way at all.

I think Obama means a "foo foo" dog - the kind some women carry around in purses and dress up.

He is not using "girly" as a derogatory term to imply someone is gay.


This is one of those PC run amok times.
