Forever21 still isn't a department store. It is a trendy low price clothing store targeting a particular age group.** The size of the Forever21 doesn't make it a department store.
**Older women are able to CAREFULLY find some items there just as they are at juniors departments of department stores. I advise older women to pick neutral items that do not scream Forever21 or juniors department when you wear them.
@Beryana: I completely agree. Across generations, college students are most often called "kids" because they are seen as being immature; wet behind the ears; and without the ability to think beyond the fun moment. That is also how I feel when I read and hear women using "girls" for women ages 18-100. There are contexts where using "girls" for grown women can work because there is a certain tone of the message, i.e. "girl's night out." But, constantly using "girls" as though it is synonymous with woman has always bothered me and it is also gendered.
