Why do they call them "girls" situps?

Asked by Dutchess_III (46859points) April 3rd, 2014

I do sit ups. I put my feet flat on the floor so my knees are bent. I’ve done them with my legs flat on the floor, but it seems I get less resistance. They’re easier. I remember from my middle and high school days that they call the feet flat on the floor, legs bent, “Girl” situps. It seems to me that they’re harder than legs flat on the floor, so why do/did they call them that?
