Ah. So you just didn't read "not in a derogatory sense" and instead read the term "riff-raff" as derogatory instead of as "all others".

Guess I should have selected a more neutral term. In looking it up, I find it has a negative connotation; in my experience, the term had always simply meant "everything else". I did acknowledge there is a derogatory meaning, but stated I didn't mean it that way.

So phrased differently, as long as there are enough "girls" to fill recruitment schedules, we're okay?
