If women in tech don't want people referring to them as "girls", perhaps they shouldn't create organizations like "Girl Develop It", "Girls Who Code", "Girls Teaching Girls to Code" and "Black Girls Code".

They have completely different connotations...one is a self descriptive, the other is belittling.
Maybe it was a woman who initiated this? What then?
you know,it's like the "blacks call themself nig" thing ( I am black ).
