So the recent trend on tik tok I had seen was the whole putting girl Infront of a word and making it it's own little thing for girls. Like girl dinner which started off well and good talking about silly mismatched meals and the slowly spiraled back into what Tumblr was .
This trend, in my opinion, only works to harm women and infantilizes us. It makes us seem like we need things simplified like the videos "explaining (let's take the stock market as an example) for girls!" And it consists of explaining it in terms of bags and shoes. We don't need that. We've had that. Men have constantly done that for ages. Dumbing things down because they don't think we can understand as much as they can. Most recently the video of "girl hobbies" which consisted of shopping, buying treats, and doing skin care. Is this not exactly what we heard from misogynists ages ago? "Women don't have hobbies they only do their make up and shop" how have we come so far only to circle back for the sake of a joke.
None of these things are bad to do and I enjoy everything there but in the context of calling them "girl hobbies" they can have a harmful impact on how women are perceived. Even if it is just a silly little good and gaf, you have to understand what you are putting out on the internet and how it can be used. Sometimes a joke isn't worth it.
