to stop calling herself a wench?
She insists that its just a name but I insist it is degrading.
Ideas please.
Update:It makes me sad to see her degrade herself, in the end she'll do what she wants, and yes we have family issues and I am 19. I was justing wondering how to sugar coat it.
Update 3:No I'm not a femenist

If she's young she'll grow out of it. People go through phases of using words, like a habit.
edit - I see, well she's entitled to call herself anything she wants. But how do I get you to stop calling me 'dude'? ; )
I must be missing something here because a wench is just an old fashioned name for a female ale-house servant, today's equivalent would be a pub bar-maid, or a cocktail waitress. Why is it now classed as degrading? If it's anything to do with what they did in their spare time to earn extra cash, then that was up to them and nothing to do with being a wench, and certainly not for anybody to judge now. As for your sister, just make a joke about it, and don't take it so seriously. The true meaning of it is harmless.
At least she's not calling you a wench. Just deal with it, she'll stop eventually.
Do a little research on the origins and specific meanings of the word, and present that to her. She might not think so highly of the word once she's more familiar with what it actually means.
Also, if she's using a degrading word to describe herself, she might have some self-esteem issues...talk to her and make sure she's alright!
Maybe you should start calling her that. If it's just a word, it shouldn't bother her right?
I don't know other than that. Hopefully it's just a phase, like Holla! Sometimes what people think is cool doesn't last too long. And for good reason. :)
Stop trying. Let her degrade herself. She's just doing it for attention.
Use a pirate voice whenever she says it.
"Aye yer a mighty fine wench indeed! Fetch me some ale!"
The novelty will wear off and she'll grow out of it.
She is 24 and needs you to tell her to stop doing something ha. You wouldnt happen to be a feminist would you.
hey sista hey sista
getta my gist-a?
if i say it again, my voice box will blista.
you are not a wench, get yourself a mista.
