the weather girl

in the workshop
i was corrected for using
the term
weather girl
in my short story. how dare
i deem
a woman, a professional
woman
that was a trained
meteorologist,
a mere girl.
they glared at me,
these fellow writers.
wagging their proverbial
fingers.
shaking their heads.
i had to change 
the wording in my next story
when i called
a woman 
a sweetly iced cupcake
that i couldn't wait 
to bite into.
