What I meant by "Boy-wonder" was someone so advanced that they
could attend college at an early age.

I did not mean that women under the age of 30 are the
definition of the word girl (whatever your definition is).  
I mean that I feel more comfortable calling them girls.  
I think it all depends on what the people around you are saying 
when you are growing up and entering college. I don't know why so many
people on the net are so concerned about how to address females or
males. People I know don't view how they are refered to as a 
reflection of their masculinity or femininity.
