@overlordfemto7523they mean they can wear what they want and be happy. And you have no right to tell someone if they're comfortable or not. Don't just say stuff and tell people what makes them comfortable.

I think we all had our "I'm not like other girls" because that was like saying look I have hobbies and a personality, I'm not that image you have of women in your head. I went through it a bit too, and I think we all did, it was like a way to say look at me for what I am.
thank god I'm no longer a "im not like other girls" girl and instead am a "omg women are so magnificent how can they be sooo yum omg do i like girls? oh yeah i think so yeah i definitely like women ok its decided i. love. women." girl

I tried to be “not like other girls” until I realized I WAS like other girls. And it feels great to finally be comfortable in my femininity without feeling like I have to act differently to get approval from men I don’t even know.
Can we just normalize with being okay with liking big artists? I used to be one of those people who only listened to obscure underground artists and took so much pride in it, thinking I had better music taste than anyone else, looking back on it I just had a huge superiority complex when it came to music taste and was an asshole about it, calling anyone who listened to big artists "normies". And while I still do listen to and love those less popular artists it took me a while to realize that liking bigger artists is fine too. I started listening to Taylor Swift earlier this year and I can safely say that it was one of the best choice I have made this year. I am a huge Swiftie now and I take pride in knowing all her lyrics by heart. Edit: I also wanted to add that I have been listening to Kpop for quite a few years now and I can fully agree that there are a lot of people who won't listen to Blackpink or BTS simply because they are the some of the biggest groups out right now, even with BTS currently in hiatus. I don't even listen to Blackpink all that much but I'm not going to hate on you for liking them.
This ^ I just started really listening to pop this year and now I was in Beyonce's top 3% of listeners in my Spotify wrapped. I still love rock and metal and things, but I also adore pop and hip-hop and I didn't even know until this year
I never got interested into the pop genre and was always into folkish lesser known artists, but when I befriended this wonderful bunch of people they really made me interested in their favorite artists and even give my favorites a listen time to time when it's entirely different from what they like. APPRECIATING EACH OTHERS MUSIC TASTES FEELS SO FUCKING NICE!
Yeah, I've always found the attitude of disliking something because it's popular kind of weird. I can maybe understand being weirded out by certain communities around an artist, because some people have almost cult-like fandoms (Harry styles, in my experience, has a weirdly stalkerish fandom for example), but that's not really a problem with the artists themselves or their art. I wonder if maybe people are conflating is their hatred of big media companies and the oversaturation of certain genres/artists with a hatred of the actual art itself.
Agreed. I never understood the whole obscure music gatekeeping thing. It was big in school, and when I was in my 20s, I trained a dude at a job who was obsessed with this obscure band I knew. which, in turn, made him (super) obsessed with me. So I quit that job (not a huge loss. If you've ever seen the movie "Boiler Room," it gave that vibe.)
I had a friend like that. She would hate my Spotify wrapped or whatever it’s called now. But fun fact: I listen to nearly every music genre, some include Chinese classical, pop, metal, Bollywood, the list goes on. I had a very special place on Spotify for music from New Zealand indigenous peoplen
This reminds me of the self insert fanfic I wrote with my friend in 9th grade about how we were “not like other girls because we liked to read! For fun!”
I was also one of those kids :/ partially because: -I assumed all the girls would be mean and ‘fake’ -I didn’t like that boys ‘had to’ do one thing and girls ‘had to’ do another -I used to watch those cringe humor meme compilations and they were always making fun of girly things so I thought I would be accepted online if I didn’t do those things
Her: feminine woman knows her strength in being reserved and humble… She says as she quite literally displays to the public that’s she’s “better” than most women.
THE RISKS OF WEARING LOOSE CLOTHING AT THE GYM ARE REAL! I wore a new pair of pants last week that I darn well knew I should shorten before wearing and I tripped over my long pants legs and fell on my face in the locker room before I even hit the gym floor!
On the soft spoken thing, I would like to say that different ways people handle situations and speak can depend on their life. I'm soft spoken because I am very sensitive and have a lot of trauma linked to yelling. I sometimes am very loud and harsh because I'm having a mental breakdown, but it is usually in front of people I am close with. I am autistic and tend to lose my temper during a meltdown, PTSD also can trigger my anger. I am actually envious of those unafraid to share their opinions, because it shows that they don't care as much about being judged. I do not speak much in public and try to hide cuz I'm very anxious. (Social anxiety sucks. I hate how it is portrayed as cute and quirky, because it truly is not fun) I would also like to say that I went from "I'm not like other girls" to "I'm a boy". The pipeline is real. (Also, soft spoken boys are not less of boys than loud boys. Loud girls are no less of girls than quiet girls. How you speak has nothing to do with your gender identity or your value)
I don't know why, but I don't remember having a "not like other girls" phase. I was a really weird kid, and my parents never taught me about how I "should act" as a girl. So yeah, I never actually cared about being different. I grew up nerodivergent, (or however you spell it) so if anything, I actually wanted to be like other girls and be considered normal.
As i child and tween i was quite self conscious about my appearance, as i was overweight and a tomboy. I grew up in the early 00s so at the time being pretty meant being absolutely stick thin and drenched in hot pink. In a somewhat misguided attempt to make me feel better, many adults would say things along the lines of "well at least you're kind/have a good personality/are smart/etc." This, along with media depictions of ditzy blondes and mean hot girls, led me to believe on some level that attractive, girly girls had to have some kind of personality fault; yeah they're pretty, but they must be stupid or have a bad personality. It gave me something to feel superior for, like i chose intelligence over looks. Its appealing for kids with low self esteem to latch on to some false sense of superiority. Thankfully, in adulthood/late teens i realised that people can be pretty and feminine, intelligent and nice and that less attractive people can also be absolute assholes. Of course i still feel a twinge of jealousy when i meet someone whose pretty, funny, kind, smart and talented (like save some for the rest of us girl, damn); but I'm mostly just happy for them. Must come with the territory of growing up and comparing yourself to others less.
As someone who sadly lives in Texas the lady with guns in her (I’m guessing it’s her boyfriend’s or friend’s) truck really scares me lol. There’s too many people like that here and it’s terrifying.
@@professorfoxtrotdude, check the video you're on, check the audience. I've seen your other comments under this video clearly trying to incite an argument. What in your life led you down this path, where you go out of your way to be argumentative? Just kinda funny tbh
Used to be one of those “not like other girls” but it took me an embarrassingly long time to grow out of it and realized the absurdity and misogyny involved 😅
The two cow-girls were so cute, it will definitively become a funny story between friends I definitively have a "I am not like the other girls" phase in middle school. the big hit was Tokio Hotel, and then tecktonic, and me and my friend were so "Huu, that's stupid music". And I also got a phone very late, only first year in high school.
@@halley8105 Well, all of my friends got their phone during middle school, bc they were using public transport to go to school, so I definitively was the odd one without a phone in my friend group.
The fact that the girl in the cow costume was pseudo “upset” but giggling really hard made that clip so wholesome. That’s a solid friendship right there
I want to add, you CAN be one of those women who performs for male attention, go for it, do you babe. But take a step back and ask yourself it that's what you WANT. If that's what makes you happy, dressing in a way that you think men want you to dress, acting how you think men want you to act, allowing men to have a say in your actions and thoughts how ever that looks, if all of that makes you happy then go for it.
Music genres aren’t barriers, especially when there’s so much collaboration and inspiration between these genres. So like, music taste superiority is so funny to me. Especially when a lot of these artists who do write their own music are inspired by artists who aren’t exclusively pop.
I stumbled on your channel a couple weeks ago and I’m obsessed. I’m genX and I love this new generation of women coming up and doing all the things we weren’t allowed to do. It’s fantastic and inspiring to me. Plus, your hair makes me oogle like🥰
This topic is one of my favourites because I have great memories of 2010s Social Media that enabled NLOGs. No boy in school liked me because I was different :(
I’ve learned that people whom have a superiority complex over their music taste are not compatible with me to share space with in the long run. Usually it starts with that and then I notice other areas in which they act superior over others. For example their interactions with servers, restaurant workers, elderly people, disabled people, nature, and non-human animals.
I definitely went through a "not like other girls" phase. ... I'm trans. So... I was technically correct. The best kind of correct. And all kinds of girls (except those that hurt others) are valid.
I've been a "I'm not like other girls" and since my parents r proud of me for being that way i thought I'm right but once I matured enough i realised how wrong I've been and now I'm "why am I not like other girls?" And i even argue with my parents about how other girls are not wrong for being that way live and let live
I was tomboy and girly girl at a young age and my bestie was in her "tomboy not like other girls" phase and said she was one of the boys and hated girls... I WAS HER BESTIE AND I WAS A GIRL 😭😭😭😭💀💀💀
6:45 its actually funny this lady think’s shes bad ass for carrying firearms in her vehicle- when its illegal to carry them in your vehicle unless theyre in a locked case. section 46.02 of the texas penal code literally says “ The pistol must be stored in a case, a closed glove box, or a lockable center console if it is not in a holster.” so yeah- shes so silly goofy quirky and very open about crime ig?
7:39 i want a big ol truck for practical reasons too but mostly because i am tiny and dress in decora and use a cane and seeing me get out of the drivers seat of a massive lifted truck is so funny to me
Me and my friends had a 'not like other girls' phase. When we grew out of it we turned it into a joke competition. Say the most insane thing oneupmanship competition.
Advice to all the girls in their “I’m not like other girls era” Most if not ALL girls have gone through that era. You effectively are like other girls. And that’s ooookkkkk.
Kinda late to the party but I also had a not like other girls phase but not in a "Im better than the girly girls bc my interests are more mature and niche" but in a "I have such low self esteem, Im not good at socializing or being a teenager so I must be worse than the other girls" way. Like, I wanted to be like the other girls but I was so nerdy, chubby and introverted that I could never see myself as the other girls and would always think of myself as lower. Ive still got things to work out about myself but Im learning to love myself and feel worthy to be a person
the fact that in the last post, theyre preaching about how women shouldnt wear form fitting/revealing clothes… but the man is wearing a tank top that shows a lot of skin. the double standards are crazy
It's really weird when it comes to people feeling superior for liking less popular artists. I am someone whose favourite genres are actually unpopular (punk, gothic country and industrial metal) and all I find happening when someone asks me what my favourite genres are and I am honest about them is it ends the conversation abruptly because people don't know what I am talking about or they tend to find those genres abrasive, which makes it hard to share them. And even when I find someone else who likes punk, they end up usually not knowing my favourite band, which is Anti-Flag, and I end up disappointed we can't talk about it. I tend to like smaller artists because they have more freedom when it comes to their speech and trying out new things with their music. It's dumb to think one is superior for liking smaller artists because all it means is it's harder to get access the artists you like and that you might never get the chance to see them live lol
been binging your videos, I love the way you react it feels like I'm reacting along with you and your laugh is infectious and you have great points to make--and as a former girl the "I'm not like other girls" phase is SO real lol
8:53 im baffled how people can still support Kanye West after all the shit hes done, not just to Taylor but in general. Its insane…I‘d rather be „mainstream“ for liking Taylor Swift than supporting someone who said „H*tler wasnt a bad person“
damn am i the only one that didn't have a not like other girls/ pick me girl phase? 💀 while that's a good thing I can't even flex bc I did have an internalized misogyny phase it just took on a different form. one that is arguably worse.... i was the fabled “fujoshi” 😭😭😭
@@jareerareerarr5053 omg I also went to a girls' school. I had a pick me girl friend tho but she was the only one I knew who was like that 💀 her: girls are such drama 🙄 also her: *started every drama in the friendship*
For snacking on unprocessed foods, for a while after school on the way home I'd go to a local vegetable shop and just buy a carrot to munch on on the way home. More interesting texture than butter and has minerals alongside all the sugars in the root. Also it was only like 14p for a carrot so it was cheap.
As a child I loved eating just butter, it was such a delicious craving I had. I can't imagine doing it now, but never was it about cutting out any other snack or eating healthy. It's weird to see my weird childhood craving weaponized.
First video I've ever seen from you and I love the way you talk to us as equal and not just a person watching this back, but as a friend! So glad to see more queer youtubers on here:D!! I had a "not like other girls" type phase but turns out I was just an autistic dude, lmao.
I was a pick me girl until about my freshman/sophomore year of high school when I got a twitter and Tumblr and all that.. really opened my eyes to new opinions and beliefs and since then I've been a feminist
18:36 Well, also financial reasons. There's different rules for money and insurance depending on marraige, and it's still illegal to marry more than one human
Anyone else had a "not like other girls" phase where you were HARDCORE misogynistic because "makeup" and "showing skin" seemed so evil to you but then you grew up and realized you were gender-queer and it was all just deflecting dysphoria?
I had a tame "not like the other girls" phase, even though it was still cringe, lol Turns out I'm trans, so I guess I was right hahahaha (Btw, LOVE the clitoris earings 😍)
I know that feeling, I am born and live for 20 years as a boy and was taught to be masculine and perform it. I did not like girl stuff until my 20th birthday. I finally found myself and started a transition mtf. I thought that I never experienced the “not like other girls” but in fact I live that my all life.
I love butter and do snack on a slice of butter occasionally. It doesn'y coat your mouth, it melts instantly. Il tastes delicious as goud quality butter does. But I'm not going to pretend it's better than chips.
I had a “not like other girls” phase like a year before I found out I was trans- I never thought of myself as better but I was always told girls have to link pink, and dresses, and makeup and want to be house wives etc. etc. but growing up with mostly brothers I liked earthy/dark colors and video games and airsoft I liked getting dirty and I didn’t necessarily like the idea of being financially dependent on a man- So I did have a phase like that but like you said- it’s rooted in misogyny the idea that all girls like the same things
I think a lot of them just have a lot of internalized misogyny. On my part, I used to be like that until I realized my feelings were out of spite because I didn't fit in with most other kids because of childhood trauma and it was also my way of rejecting the feminity imposed on me before I understood I'm actually a trans guy.
I think a lot of girls go through that to say they’re not what a lot of people/society says a girl/woman should be like, and that they’ve got their own hobbies and are their own person
Cheating used to be considered the failing on BOTH parties rather than only the one who cheated, so even if your partner was the one who cheated people still wanted to just keep it quiet and move on. We are starting to no longer blame the other partner (as it should be) so more people are being open about being cheated on that doesn’t mean it’s happening more often.
With the artists thing. I went through a not like other girls phase a little bit because i have a lot of brothers and they would make fun of me if i liked typically girly things. But i would refuse to listen to boy bands. Never listened to jonas brothers or one direction or anything. Now ive been getting really into kpop so basically im going through my boy band phase rn in my twenties lol.
There's nothing wrong with not being girly. You can be girly with a tomboy streak and a tomboy with a girly streak.
I can't help but think of vtuber Calli and Subaru when you said that tomboy girly girls lol
Fr. Anyone can have any style. That doesn't make them more or less of a person.
@@suspiciousstar7547 Exactly.
Yes, both! Like most people. At 69 I’ve observed that everyone has ‘masculine’ and ‘feminine’ features.
I went through a I’m not like most kids phase. But then I grew up in the hippie era.

💯 That's a healthy relationship. A costume is a costume. Dressing as a sexy nurse or cow isn't going to make a dent in a strong relationship.
@overlordfemto7523they mean they can wear what they want and be happy. And you have no right to tell someone if they're comfortable or not. Don't just say stuff and tell people what makes them comfortable.
@overlordfemto7523the porn has warped your mind
@overlordfemto7523I can tell by each and every one of your comments how repressed and miserable you are seriously man get some support or do something to work on yourself I don't wish you any ill or harm because happy people don't feel the need to troll and make a menace of themselves like this
Maybe take a break from the Internet for a while
I think we all had our "I'm not like other girls" because that was like saying look I have hobbies and a personality, I'm not that image you have of women in your head. I went through it a bit too, and I think we all did, it was like a way to say look at me for what I am.
Yeah I definitely think so too
thank god I'm no longer a "im not like other girls" girl and instead am a "omg women are so magnificent how can they be sooo yum omg do i like girls? oh yeah i think so yeah i definitely like women ok its decided i. love. women." girl
I saw hijabi women at the gym lately and I was just so, like, impressed. Like, how fucking strong have you have to be in order to work out with a hijab?! Much respect!

I tried to be “not like other girls” until I realized I WAS like other girls. And it feels great to finally be comfortable in my femininity without feeling like I have to act differently to get approval from men I don’t even know.
Can we just normalize with being okay with liking big artists? I used to be one of those people who only listened to obscure underground artists and took so much pride in it, thinking I had better music taste than anyone else, looking back on it I just had a huge superiority complex when it came to music taste and was an asshole about it, calling anyone who listened to big artists "normies". And while I still do listen to and love those less popular artists it took me a while to realize that liking bigger artists is fine too. I started listening to Taylor Swift earlier this year and I can safely say that it was one of the best choice I have made this year. I am a huge Swiftie now and I take pride in knowing all her lyrics by heart.
Edit: I also wanted to add that I have been listening to Kpop for quite a few years now and I can fully agree that there are a lot of people who won't listen to Blackpink or BTS simply because they are the some of the biggest groups out right now, even with BTS currently in hiatus. I don't even listen to Blackpink all that much but I'm not going to hate on you for liking them.
This ^ I just started really listening to pop this year and now I was in Beyonce's top 3% of listeners in my Spotify wrapped. I still love rock and metal and things, but I also adore pop and hip-hop and I didn't even know until this year
I never got interested into the pop genre and was always into folkish lesser known artists, but when I befriended this wonderful bunch of people they really made me interested in their favorite artists and even give my favorites a listen time to time when it's entirely different from what they like. APPRECIATING EACH OTHERS MUSIC TASTES FEELS SO FUCKING NICE!
Yeah, I've always found the attitude of disliking something because it's popular kind of weird.
I can maybe understand being weirded out by certain communities around an artist, because some people have almost cult-like fandoms (Harry styles, in my experience, has a weirdly stalkerish fandom for example), but that's not really a problem with the artists themselves or their art.
I wonder if maybe people are conflating is their hatred of big media companies and the oversaturation of certain genres/artists with a hatred of the actual art itself.
Agreed. I never understood the whole obscure music gatekeeping thing. It was big in school, and when I was in my 20s, I trained a dude at a job who was obsessed with this obscure band I knew. which, in turn, made him (super) obsessed with me. So I quit that job (not a huge loss. If you've ever seen the movie "Boiler Room," it gave that vibe.)
I had a friend like that. She would hate my Spotify wrapped or whatever it’s called now. But fun fact: I listen to nearly every music genre, some include Chinese classical, pop, metal, Bollywood, the list goes on. I had a very special place on Spotify for music from New Zealand indigenous peoplen
This reminds me of the self insert fanfic I wrote with my friend in 9th grade about how we were “not like other girls because we liked to read! For fun!”
I was also one of those kids :/ partially because:
-I assumed all the girls would be mean and ‘fake’
-I didn’t like that boys ‘had to’ do one thing and girls ‘had to’ do another
-I used to watch those cringe humor meme compilations and they were always making fun of girly things so I thought I would be accepted online if I didn’t do those things
As long as you're comfortable in your own skin, anyone else's opinion doesn't matter. It's on them at that point. :)
Her: feminine woman knows her strength in being reserved and humble…
She says as she quite literally displays to the public that’s she’s “better” than most women.
THE RISKS OF WEARING LOOSE CLOTHING AT THE GYM ARE REAL! I wore a new pair of pants last week that I darn well knew I should shorten before wearing and I tripped over my long pants legs and fell on my face in the locker room before I even hit the gym floor!
On the soft spoken thing, I would like to say that different ways people handle situations and speak can depend on their life.
I'm soft spoken because I am very sensitive and have a lot of trauma linked to yelling. I sometimes am very loud and harsh because I'm having a mental breakdown, but it is usually in front of people I am close with. I am autistic and tend to lose my temper during a meltdown, PTSD also can trigger my anger. I am actually envious of those unafraid to share their opinions, because it shows that they don't care as much about being judged. I do not speak much in public and try to hide cuz I'm very anxious. (Social anxiety sucks. I hate how it is portrayed as cute and quirky, because it truly is not fun)
I would also like to say that I went from "I'm not like other girls" to "I'm a boy". The pipeline is real. (Also, soft spoken boys are not less of boys than loud boys. Loud girls are no less of girls than quiet girls. How you speak has nothing to do with your gender identity or your value)
I don't know why, but I don't remember having a "not like other girls" phase. I was a really weird kid, and my parents never taught me about how I "should act" as a girl. So yeah, I never actually cared about being different. I grew up nerodivergent, (or however you spell it) so if anything, I actually wanted to be like other girls and be considered normal.
As i child and tween i was quite self conscious about my appearance, as i was overweight and a tomboy. I grew up in the early 00s so at the time being pretty meant being absolutely stick thin and drenched in hot pink. In a somewhat misguided attempt to make me feel better, many adults would say things along the lines of "well at least you're kind/have a good personality/are smart/etc." This, along with media depictions of ditzy blondes and mean hot girls, led me to believe on some level that attractive, girly girls had to have some kind of personality fault; yeah they're pretty, but they must be stupid or have a bad personality. It gave me something to feel superior for, like i chose intelligence over looks. Its appealing for kids with low self esteem to latch on to some false sense of superiority.
Thankfully, in adulthood/late teens i realised that people can be pretty and feminine, intelligent and nice and that less attractive people can also be absolute assholes.
Of course i still feel a twinge of jealousy when i meet someone whose pretty, funny, kind, smart and talented (like save some for the rest of us girl, damn); but I'm mostly just happy for them. Must come with the territory of growing up and comparing yourself to others less.
As someone who sadly lives in Texas the lady with guns in her (I’m guessing it’s her boyfriend’s or friend’s) truck really scares me lol. There’s too many people like that here and it’s terrifying.
Alex Jones is a hero. We need more men like this to nurture women.
@@professorfoxtrotdude, check the video you're on, check the audience. I've seen your other comments under this video clearly trying to incite an argument. What in your life led you down this path, where you go out of your way to be argumentative? Just kinda funny tbh
@@elenabloksberg212Video? What are you talking about?
Used to be one of those “not like other girls” but it took me an embarrassingly long time to grow out of it and realized the absurdity and misogyny involved 😅
The two cow-girls were so cute, it will definitively become a funny story between friends
I definitively have a "I am not like the other girls" phase in middle school. the big hit was Tokio Hotel, and then tecktonic, and me and my friend were so "Huu, that's stupid music". And I also got a phone very late, only first year in high school.
I thought that was normal though???? Cause my family does the same (the phone thing)
@@halley8105 Well, all of my friends got their phone during middle school, bc they were using public transport to go to school, so I definitively was the odd one without a phone in my friend group.
That's what I needed after listening to boys from my class
Part about loud and argumentative vs soft-spoken and reserved is so funny to me because I am naturally soft-spoken and reserved yet also a menace
The fact that the girl in the cow costume was pseudo “upset” but giggling really hard made that clip so wholesome. That’s a solid friendship right there
I can’t stop laughing cause of the plushies that can’t stand still😂 they’re so cute and I know the struggle, great video as always btw ❤️
I want to add, you CAN be one of those women who performs for male attention, go for it, do you babe. But take a step back and ask yourself it that's what you WANT. If that's what makes you happy, dressing in a way that you think men want you to dress, acting how you think men want you to act, allowing men to have a say in your actions and thoughts how ever that looks, if all of that makes you happy then go for it.
"You said lets be cows!!! You didn't say cute cows!!!" Had me on the floor.
Music genres aren’t barriers, especially when there’s so much collaboration and inspiration between these genres. So like, music taste superiority is so funny to me. Especially when a lot of these artists who do write their own music are inspired by artists who aren’t exclusively pop.
Im not like other girls - im aro/ace and I live in outer space 🌌🌜🛸
Me neither :) I've only recently realised/came out as being non-binary (and biro-ace)... Wish I was from space though
Oh cool, what's biro Ace ? I am still learning about the Ace spectrum
My favorite moment in every video is the angry ghost that makes the plushies fall
One of the best statements I ever heard was one of my friends, " I used to think I was like other girls, and then I realized fuck, I'm not a girl."
I stumbled on your channel a couple weeks ago and I’m obsessed. I’m genX and I love this new generation of women coming up and doing all the things we weren’t allowed to do. It’s fantastic and inspiring to me. Plus, your hair makes me oogle like🥰
This topic is one of my favourites because I have great memories of 2010s Social Media that enabled NLOGs. No boy in school liked me because I was different :(
I love Eiffel Tower with thing 1 and thing 2 lmao 🗼
Everytime they change the SKZOO in the background I scream!!! They have all of them 😭😭😭
The Halloween cow girls are both adorable!
I’ve learned that people whom have a superiority complex over their music taste are not compatible with me to share space with in the long run. Usually it starts with that and then I notice other areas in which they act superior over others. For example their interactions with servers, restaurant workers, elderly people, disabled people, nature, and non-human animals.
5SOS my fav omg seen them in concert 6 times
I had a ''not like other girls'' phase. Turns out I'm nonbinary 💀
I definitely went through a "not like other girls" phase.
... I'm trans. So... I was technically correct. The best kind of correct.
And all kinds of girls (except those that hurt others) are valid.

My boy Toothless is curled up on top of my blankets right now and we feel for you man ❣️
some of these HAVE to be satire
I've been a "I'm not like other girls" and since my parents r proud of me for being that way i thought I'm right but once I matured enough i realised how wrong I've been and now I'm "why am I not like other girls?" And i even argue with my parents about how other girls are not wrong for being that way live and let live
I had the fun combo of "pink and female is grooooossss" as a notlikeothergirls and a trans guy who didn't know yet... Hell yeah, femboys lol
I'm a woman who drives a big truck on occasion. I have literally never noticed anyone staring.
Men do NOT like a woman with a sense of humor I learned that very quickly as a stand up comedian

I love heavy metal and progressive metal
fun fact: texas was actually a country for like seven years! still insane to carry guns in your car though!
i’m definitely NOT watching this in the middle of my botany lecture ❤️❤️❤️
6:45 its actually funny this lady think’s shes bad ass for carrying firearms in her vehicle- when its illegal to carry them in your vehicle unless theyre in a locked case. section 46.02 of the texas penal code literally says “ The pistol must be stored in a case, a closed glove box, or a lockable center console if it is not in a holster.” so yeah- shes so silly goofy quirky and very open about crime ig?
7:39 i want a big ol truck for practical reasons too but mostly because i am tiny and dress in decora and use a cane and seeing me get out of the drivers seat of a massive lifted truck is so funny to me
lol the one listing the pop music that "other girls" listen to and then proceeding to list equally popular music artists for herself loool
Me and my friends had a 'not like other girls' phase. When we grew out of it we turned it into a joke competition. Say the most insane thing oneupmanship competition.
I went in that phase, I would hate pink now it's just not my favorite color so I don't wear it often but if I wear pink I don't care now
Advice to all the girls in their “I’m not like other girls era”
Most if not ALL girls have gone through that era. You effectively are like other girls. And that’s ooookkkkk.
Kinda late to the party but I also had a not like other girls phase but not in a "Im better than the girly girls bc my interests are more mature and niche" but in a "I have such low self esteem, Im not good at socializing or being a teenager so I must be worse than the other girls" way. Like, I wanted to be like the other girls but I was so nerdy, chubby and introverted that I could never see myself as the other girls and would always think of myself as lower. Ive still got things to work out about myself but Im learning to love myself and feel worthy to be a person
the fact that in the last post, theyre preaching about how women shouldnt wear form fitting/revealing clothes… but the man is wearing a tank top that shows a lot of skin. the double standards are crazy
Social media made it it easier for hyper focus on and issue making it look like there's so much.
It's really weird when it comes to people feeling superior for liking less popular artists. I am someone whose favourite genres are actually unpopular (punk, gothic country and industrial metal) and all I find happening when someone asks me what my favourite genres are and I am honest about them is it ends the conversation abruptly because people don't know what I am talking about or they tend to find those genres abrasive, which makes it hard to share them. And even when I find someone else who likes punk, they end up usually not knowing my favourite band, which is Anti-Flag, and I end up disappointed we can't talk about it.
I tend to like smaller artists because they have more freedom when it comes to their speech and trying out new things with their music. It's dumb to think one is superior for liking smaller artists because all it means is it's harder to get access the artists you like and that you might never get the chance to see them live lol
been binging your videos, I love the way you react it feels like I'm reacting along with you and your laugh is infectious and you have great points to make--and as a former girl the "I'm not like other girls" phase is SO real lol
8:53 im baffled how people can still support Kanye West after all the shit hes done, not just to Taylor but in general. Its insane…I‘d rather be „mainstream“ for liking Taylor Swift than supporting someone who said „H*tler wasnt a bad person“
damn am i the only one that didn't have a not like other girls/ pick me girl phase? 💀 while that's a good thing I can't even flex bc I did have an internalized misogyny phase it just took on a different form. one that is arguably worse.... i was the fabled “fujoshi” 😭😭😭
I didn't have this phase either. I wonder if it's BC my highschool was all female so noone cared about male attention in school
@@jareerareerarr5053 omg I also went to a girls' school. I had a pick me girl friend tho but she was the only one I knew who was like that 💀
her: girls are such drama 🙄
also her: *started every drama in the friendship*
For snacking on unprocessed foods, for a while after school on the way home I'd go to a local vegetable shop and just buy a carrot to munch on on the way home. More interesting texture than butter and has minerals alongside all the sugars in the root. Also it was only like 14p for a carrot so it was cheap.
It tastes incredible and has a texture like cheese.....but for sure it's literally impossible 2 even climb UPON a buttery high horse😂
I’ve been binging your content and here comes a fresh batch 🥳🥳🥳😌

As a child I loved eating just butter, it was such a delicious craving I had. I can't imagine doing it now, but never was it about cutting out any other snack or eating healthy. It's weird to see my weird childhood craving weaponized.
First video I've ever seen from you and I love the way you talk to us as equal and not just a person watching this back, but as a friend! So glad to see more queer youtubers on here:D!! I had a "not like other girls" type phase but turns out I was just an autistic dude, lmao.
Some Americans show up at the Canadian border surprised they can’t bring their car/truck gun collections in.
I was a pick me girl until about my freshman/sophomore year of high school when I got a twitter and Tumblr and all that.. really opened my eyes to new opinions and beliefs and since then I've been a feminist
Before I realized I was trans and autistic I was a "not like other girls" girl and it STILL makes me cringe.
A stick of butter makes my 2 year old insanely happy. I constantly have to take it from him. I however will not be joining him
18:36 Well, also financial reasons. There's different rules for money and insurance depending on marraige, and it's still illegal to marry more than one human
I never actually had that because I was depressed throughout middle and elementary, so idk how it feels
Anyone else had a "not like other girls" phase where you were HARDCORE misogynistic because "makeup" and "showing skin" seemed so evil to you but then you grew up and realized you were gender-queer and it was all just deflecting dysphoria?
OMG I JUST REALIZED YOU HAD SKZOO’S IN THE BACKGROUND
I had a tame "not like the other girls" phase, even though it was still cringe, lol
Turns out I'm trans, so I guess I was right hahahaha
(Btw, LOVE the clitoris earings 😍)
I know that feeling, I am born and live for 20 years as a boy and was taught to be masculine and perform it. I did not like girl stuff until my 20th birthday. I finally found myself and started a transition mtf. I thought that I never experienced the “not like other girls” but in fact I live that my all life.
I love butter and do snack on a slice of butter occasionally. It doesn'y coat your mouth, it melts instantly. Il tastes delicious as goud quality butter does.
But I'm not going to pretend it's better than chips.
I had a “not like other girls” phase like a year before I found out I was trans- I never thought of myself as better but I was always told girls have to link pink, and dresses, and makeup and want to be house wives etc. etc. but growing up with mostly brothers I liked earthy/dark colors and video games and airsoft I liked getting dirty and I didn’t necessarily like the idea of being financially dependent on a man-
So I did have a phase like that but like you said- it’s rooted in misogyny the idea that all girls like the same things
The only good thing that came from the “not like other girls” arts was that trend where people drew them as lovers
I'll never get the 'I'm not like the other girls' girls ;-;
I think a lot of them just have a lot of internalized misogyny.
On my part, I used to be like that until I realized my feelings were out of spite because I didn't fit in with most other kids because of childhood trauma and it was also my way of rejecting the feminity imposed on me before I understood I'm actually a trans guy.
I'm not like the I'm not like the other girls girls
I am teasing :-p
I think a lot of girls go through that to say they’re not what a lot of people/society says a girl/woman should be like, and that they’ve got their own hobbies and are their own person
"when you're 12 years old.." okay I feel old now..
Cheating used to be considered the failing on BOTH parties rather than only the one who cheated, so even if your partner was the one who cheated people still wanted to just keep it quiet and move on. We are starting to no longer blame the other partner (as it should be) so more people are being open about being cheated on that doesn’t mean it’s happening more often.
here not only bc your videos are fantastic but also bc of your skzoos
Loving the content!
I respect women's right to get Eiffel Towered by Thing 1 and Thing 2
With the artists thing. I went through a not like other girls phase a little bit because i have a lot of brothers and they would make fun of me if i liked typically girly things. But i would refuse to listen to boy bands. Never listened to jonas brothers or one direction or anything. Now ive been getting really into kpop so basically im going through my boy band phase rn in my twenties lol.
