Girl dinner because junk food/charcuterie should be gendered? I get what it is but not why it is. Is there boy dinner, guy dinner, dude dinner, or is that just a steak? If so don’t “girls” eat steak…
I can relate to these observations about TikTok. And here’s my addition to the discussion: I'm tired of being told that to be successful, creators must throw their legs in the air and get the Great Wall of China shoved up their ass sideways.
Hell, I can barely get past Facebook links to Shuffle Dance videos on YouTube. But at least on YouTube I can find an informative video about how to fix a broken thingjobber under my dashboard. What's TikTok gonna give me in return for the time I waste there?
I don't think they're using "demure" properly. "Demure" means shy, meek and retiring- TikTok is none of those things.
They are definitely not using demure properly lol
I live by one acronym: JOMO.
I wish I could fully detach from social media, but my job prevents that.
I feel your pain. I decided to create a teenage girl for my next longform project, which proves I'm insane.
My goal in life is to be old and passionate enough to be old and yelling at clouds.
Step away, Sam. Step away. Nice and slow. That's it. Ok, buddy. It was a close one, but you're alright.
Until I have to be back on it again for work

Yeah or "girl math," "mansplaining," etc. Why are we gendering behavior while trying to push back against gender norms? Seems strange to me.
I can maybe get behind the other points, but mansplaining certainly is gendered for a very good reason.
