“I‘m just a gal who loves fashion and movies.“s

"How historically accurate were Disney princesses dresses?" And began making videos for fun, before finding out it can be a career and now has 1.2 million subscribers.

THE “GIRL”

EPIDEMIC S

PESTEE IV

ocial media users all round have seen the

coining of the phrase "Girl"; from "Girl dinner", "Girl math" and "Babygirlification" of men. Seemingly stemming from the "Girlboss" era of empowering women, it’s a sort of reclamation of phrases like "He throws like a girl" and giving it a usually positive spin, and weaponizes the use of the naivety women are assumed to hold. ​

"SHES NOT LIKE OTHER GIRLS"/"COOL GIRL" HAS BEEN COMPLETELY SHIFTED, WITH THESE PHRASES BEING ENTIRELY MALE CENTERED, A "COOL GIRL" DRINKS BEER AND EATS PIZZA, COINED BY AMY DUNNE'S "COOL GIRL" MONOLOGUE FROM "GONE GIRL" STARTING THIS SPIRAL. A "COOL GIRL" EXISTS FOR MEN, SHE'S "ONE OF THE BOYS"​ IT’S A NICE REVERSAL OF THESE PHRASES SEEN RECENTLY BEING THE UNION OF WOMEN ACROSS SOCIAL MEDIA, RATHER THAN BEING VICTIMIZED

BY MISOGYNY AS THE INTERNET TYPICALLY TRIES TO DO WITH WOMEN.
