The “Girls’ Girl”: She believes in uplifting other women, has a strong group of girlfriends, and always abides by the girl code. She’s also aware of oppressive systems like the patriarchy and often references feminist thinkers like Gloria Steinem, Bell Hooks, and more modern role models like AOC and Drew Afualo. The mainstream media’s definition of a “girls’ girl” has changed over time, but this modern understanding is a clear reaction to our current feminism in crisis. The modern girls’ girl can help, over time, to flatten hierarchical systems that prioritize order and control over happiness and connectedness.

No we don't feminist let just end
I had noticed that modern feminists no longer look down on feminine or “girly” interests, and that’s awesome. My guy friends are fun and awesome but my girlfriends provide a type of closeness and shared experiences that is critical for me.
Exactly how I feel. My female friendships are an extra kind of special
Its cuz as feminism progress we learn that patriarchy is the reason behind that looking down and hurts everyone and aids only in oppression of femmes and women, cuz feminism is about anti patriarchy
Modern feminists are not real feminists
Exactly how I feel. I’m starting to phase out the mean girl trope in my stories because it’s misogynist and instead put emphasis on female friendships. Often times my MC usually has a best friend of hers who is girly while the MC is more of a tomboy but instead of arguing over it they have an unbreakable bond
@@emilymatthews2990it's misandry. Not mysogny. It's misandry.
Always remember that no one will ever understand how it is to be a woman in this world better than another woman.
Same logic applies for men
@@jsgr5382 sure, but men don’t meet support groups or anything like that bc the world is already built around them.
Same with men
@@andreaelnesertejeda4391 huh? What are you talking about ?
Same logic applies for literally every single group lol
"A true queen is one who fixes another queen crown without ever pointing out that it was crooked to begin with". That is a mantra that I live by and will always live by and that I try hard to teach to other women.
2 Queens? How does that happen? Aside from the UK's Game of Thrones style of inbreeding, ..shudders..even still.. or do you mean that figuratively like "queen is a ride of die bff"? And if she doesn't tell you about some imperfection on your head but don't say anything then "honesty goes out the window as friendships don't live w.o. trust/honesty..even white lies bc if you're in that position then there must've been many small mistakes you've made in your life that led you to this moment and u can always say "don't ask questions u don't want answers to" but that's also conflicting bc you're simultaneously cruel and honest.. but too many women lie to their friends more than themselves..agreeing rather than getting to the root of certain patterns esp when they confide in you with everything from cheating to make up and push up bras..They're like walking exaggerations of humans.
*incels, don't try this until you're able to say hi to 50 pedestrians in 1 day and accept that you'rein need of help out of this psychosis session.*
@@XanderShiller i mean figuratively. All women are queens in their own right. We all have the power to be ourselves, take up space, have control over our lives. That makes us queens. We are beautiful and powerful and sexy and awesome in our own ways. But the way to be a true queen in this world is to uplift and empower other queens. Fix their crowns. Hold their hands. Help them off of the ground and dust them off. Just don't EVER point out that their crown was crooked to begin with.
Sounds toxic. You change things that you yourself think needs fixing while the person might like things just the way they are. Yet you think your judgement is superior to theirs. Perhaps the crookedness was only in your mind to begin with.
@@lucypreece7581 well those sound like general human rights and nothing to do with your 4th grade essay.. You're ignoring the rest of the world. Yet you speak like men don't exist or entitled to the same basic freedom and platitudes. Only a king can select a queen from all the kings I've spoken to. And a blood sacrifice ritual.
@@lorenzomizushal3980 No it's about uplifting people when they are in a bad place and like supporting them and holding their hand but like not dwelling on the bad situation that they are in and not making it worse. like be there. fix their crown. hold their hand. do one small gesture that will make them feel better but don't put them down or make them feel more hopeless or make them feel worthless.
I think crazy ex girlfriend’s evolution between the women is one of the best examples of positive girls girls!
That show is so underrated, I was JUST going through the song list again last night. I've learned a lot of things from a lot of places, but CXG really has so much to give
Love that show soooo much!
Women gotta stick together each and every day
❤❤❤❤
@@secretlybees I love how this song in Season 1 is dripping with irony, with so many catty observations, yet by the end of the final season, the character who sang it has evolved into a "girl's girl" in the best sense. In Season 1 I would never have seen that coming. Well done, show.
While I was doing my PhD, I was sharing my little office with 5 other female students, and it was the best office ever! The support and encouragement that I received from those women really helped me overcome a lot of the obstacles and stressful situations of those years. And now, I am working in an all female lab, and it continues to be an amazing experience, 100% recommend 😊
I wished I had a female best friend who really supported me and cared about me. For me, my grandma is my female best friend which I know is sad but unfortunately it took me years to realize that my best friend at the time wasn’t my best friend. When I was a victim of SA, my friends turned against me because I was bringing “ negative vibes “ and I didn’t want to party anymore. I didn’t have the support from my friends at the time at all and felt more alone than ever. I would give anything to have a female friend who is there for me no matter what.
Sad? No, my dear, I don't even know your grandma but I know by you qualifying her as your best friend says a lot about her. I relate because my mom is my best friend. She is weird and cooky and down to earth and now that I am an adult, I see she's not embarrassing. She's always been there for me and let me be myself but also challenging me to be my best version of me. If your gma does that in any capacity, that's awesome. One female best friend still counts as one, in the weird wise words of Ghimli from LotR. 🥰
I hope you're doing okay now after the traumas you endured. Nothing makes you feel more alone than people discounting what happened to you. But just like working through your trauma, finding that wonderful quality friend takes time. She's out there for you, too. 🥰
Dude. 😰 Nothing wrong with having a friend who’s genuine regardless of their age. Hearing your experience gives me goosebumps, that is SO not okay of the other friend.
One of my lifelong friends is a fellow abuse survivor who is in her fifties… I am closer to her than my mom (well bc my mom was a ringleader in my abuse and has internalized misogyny hahaha 😝)
Older women have a stability that I feel a lot of younger women can fail at for one reason or another… it’s been a huge comfort to know whatever happens, or how much time passes, we can meet up for coffee at the same spot we always meet at…
Many of my younger friends have had another friend of theirs act catty/shitty to me (I am a polarizing person) which places my new friend at odds with the friend that they’ve usually known for longer, and I end up feeling weird that it turns into a “me vs you” situation where my friend needs to choose.
I have never had this problem with older people, and I really think it comes down to maturity! 🤷🏼♀️

You’re so lucky! I wish I could have my grandma as my best friend. I’m sorry you’re so-called friends turned their back on you when you needed them (they suck) but I’m so glad your grandma showed up for you!
Thank you so much for including my video! I’m so glad it’s resonated with so many people!! 💕
I was SO excited to see you in this! I’ve been following you for awhile ❤
I am truly grateful that thanks to feminism the next generation of girls will not have to go through “I’m only friends with boys cause girls are silly” phase. I’m 23 and I’m a feminist now but in my childhood and teen years misogyny was kind of set by default. You had to educate yourself to grow out of it. I’ve heard and said it all myself: there is no such a thing as true female friendship / girls gossip a lot / being feminine means stupid / boys interests are cooler and superior (even if it was some stupid computer game or fight movie) / girls are weaker sex etc etc
Girls are weaker sex = true
When I was 12 I remember talking to my cousin about how girly things are so icky and my mom hearing our conversation asked why was it so shameful to be girly. Now in my late twenties I love my pinks and all things sparkly and that's okay.
My biggest flex is that I'm a girl's girl! (or a woman's woman) 😎
Spending years unlearning patriarchal, oppressive views and internalized misogyny has made me happier and freer than ever
A great flex indeed! ❤
I wish I could be like this :(( , I have to pretend around my female friends and I feel as though if I were fully myself they wouldnt like me, so our bond tends to be very superficial. Even then I've had a close friend call me a "manic pixie" and isolate me, it seems no matter what we always drift apart.. As for men i've had better luck but it always ends the same way, and it just makes me feel like I'm much better by myself, focusing on my interests? But sometimes I just wish I had what others had.

I am 32 now. Looking back to my early 20s, I tried so hard to be the “cool” girl for the guys. So that they can see how easy going I am and am cool with anything, what I got was guys walking over me. Lol. This doesn’t seem that long ago, but yea I love that society and feminism are addressing these stereotypes. Also not a man hater, a lot of my friends are men, just saying, just when it came to prioritizing my romantic interests I can see the part I used to play in it.
Wondering why this is so *threatening* to some people (women who enjoy being a woman & feeling empowered about it together)?
Much like CRT, convincing yourself and others to believe in their own oppression turns out to be extremely unhealthy.
Cause it's at the cost of emasculating , not appreciating and taking down men while continuously saying men are useless and men aren't needed at any opportunity while ignoring the fact that society would crumble into chaos after 6 hours of men not existing
@Herman Bartleby CRT is just a study of history. It's just studying how laws have historically been used to oppress others. BUT if you want to pretend those laws never existed or want to believe that the people who created those laws magically vanished after the Equal Rights Amendment was signed and racism just vanished into thin air and all of a sudden everyone was on the same playing field you are free to do so
@@hermanbartleby849 So we’re just gonna pretend that oppression towards women and minorities don’t exist?
Because misery loves company and if someone is happy, that might mean you are doing something wrong because you aren't happy. People don't like to be wrong or change. As such, that's a threat to a lot of things. And rather work on yourself and figure out why you feel threatened, it's easier to put down this person who is different and keep the status quo of misery. So remember, people, them putting you down says a lot about them and NOTHING about you. Be yourself and mind your own business, because minding their's will only bring you down and back to a misery you don't want to be in.
The modern feminist also affirms Queer Existence and makes us feel seen and heard.

She always stood up for her friends, and stood for a cause, regardless of what their partner thought. 😤 Imma fight someone.

I was fired from my job working at a Unitarian church by OTHER WOMEN who became jealous of my power and influence. Soon after I found myself entering a committed relationship for the first time in three years with a man, in which there are more stereotypical gender roles at the height of when doing so was being bashed and criticized on TikTok.
I feel like in each situation I was the same “me” but the perceptions are generally warped, being a career oriented woman (even in an exploitative situation) was way more socially acceptable than being a housewife. In my heart I am the same but I see now how I am in many ways much better suited to the flow of homemaking rather than the competition and reputation destruction one must endure in competitive work environments.
Sometimes I feel forced into this role because of the other women… But the heart of the issue is making it okay or not okay to exist in certain roles as a woman, I am mind blown that we still need to fight for validity regardless of what we’re doing!
I don’t know if my situation would have been different if there were more “girl’s girls” where I was at but I do believe it’s an important distinction to make between a girl’s girl and a feminist’s girl; one is about supporting a oftentimes limited ideology and the other actually means supporting the individual to thrive, whatever that looks like.
It's nonsensical to try to separate a girl's girl from feminism as they are one and the same. Feminism has never been about bashing housewives despite the lies conservatives try to spread about it in that regard. Feminism does however critique privileged white women who are complicit in oppressing marginalized women and groups with less privileges (the Karens basically, who aren't necessarily housewives but can also be career women like Marjorie Taylor Green and Abby Shapiro).
All the white, extreme right people complaining about feminism bashing housewives will be the first to hurl sexist, racist, hateful comments towards economically poor black mothers and homemakers by calling them 'welfare queens' and what not. Their fake compassion for housewives is totally thrown out of the window then.
I was basically run out of church too for not being submissive enough. The men sat back and let the women do their dirty work for them. This is something I grew up with so it is easily recognizable for me. We have to remember that misogyny is really a hatred of God and His Son who was born from a girl. We can only rest in Him. His love is our High Tower.
Although I don't qualify as a girl anymore age wise, and being a trans woman, not as one anyway, the "girl's girl" as you describe her in the video has always (perhaps since my teenage years) been my role model, what I aspire to be and I do consider it to be a feminist attitude I can 100% identify with.
I'm a male who decided to work a female dominated job and mixed cultural group (male nurse). Being a young white dude I see it all, the snipping, backchat and the support group. I have felt more welcomed being with a group of women in a professional sense than with other guys.
Are you straight, and if so, do they know?
How can you feel supported in a group that you admit has snipping and backchat?
Why do you need an in-house support group to do your job?

I genuinely love women and female friendship provide a specific emotional closeness and understand you can't find anywhere else. To those whove experienced true friendship love you know what I'm talking about. A chosen sister is a blessing 💐
For me, it started with: How Stella got her groove back, The Grey Anatamoy's gang, and to (a complicated degree) Scandal between Olivia and Abby. The depictions were less hollow.
Love the video, but can we please properly credit other RUclips creators when you use their material the same way you tag the movies you’re grabbing clips from?

@@vsboardza I know. Just pointing out something that made me laugh
I have been saying that it is a sisterhood for ages and then even if my sisters live on the other side of the world I will speak up for them and stand with them when they need me. Like when all those brave women in Iran started fighting back against the government They had and still have my full undying support and love. Women can exist in the same spaces as each other and not feel the need to dominate. We can stand together and take up space together. Also it doesn't have to be the big grand gestures that uphold the sisterhood. it can be the small things. If a woman comes up to me needing a pad or a tampon I will either give her what I have or I will go and buy some for her. If she needs me to pretend to know her to get her way from a creep well in that moment we have known each other 15 years, we are besties and there is a whole back story. If you need me to hold your bag for a moment I will protect that goddamn bag with my life. I am there for you. I believe in you and I stand with you. I will hold your hand and walk through the fire with you. That is what true sisterhood is. Holding each others hands and facing the world together.
I'm surrounded by women like this thankfully.
We need more women like this. Unfortunately, too many women like Serena Joy exist and perpetuate a crabs in the bucket mentality.
Sorry but women are not naturally like this. Too much competition for a small number of decent men.
When I was eight I went through a not like other girls phase which was weird to think about. Going from obsessed with pink and princesses to literally drawing a guide on how to beat up girly girls and dress like a tomboy 😭
Thank you for this video. Loved it. I did get a little misty when it was talking about women be it friends or support systems helping women with access to abortion and other healthcare issues. I just cannot believe we still live in that world. 😭
As a feminist who's feminine because I'm a feminist this is so fun anf amazing
I really loved the level of research, which is amazing as always 👏🏽
Personally, I think when other feminist attack men, even in response, we should just call that out as "not what femsnim is about" and move on. There is no point in defending it at all. That's not a hill worth dying on and I think it holds things back. I know, it sucks, it doesn't feel great, but in the long run I think it's more important to change the optics where these movements are weak, and focus on what matters (in this case, bringing women up). Those are just my thoughts, maybe I'm wrong. Open to hearing other ways of thinking if anybody wants to share!
I think fighting back against the men that stand to hold us down is what feminism is about. We can uplift women as much as we want, but the men that hate us will never accept us without pushback.
@@singingsarah8133 I agree mostly BUT , I think we're talking about a small minority of men here. Most men defeinly don't hate women. But men tend to benefit more from the inbuilt sexism, misogyny , etc., in our society than women do. And as the genders are in many ways segregated, it can be hard for them to recognize their privilege. If you also consider that men have many struggles unique to being men, it complicates things because it makes it harder for many men to recognize that women have struggles unique to their gender (also because more than ever men are having a harder time making friends in general, and are spending less time with women etc.).

I wish more about trans misogyny, intersectionality and terf nature was also poked at in this video. While black feminism was particularly mentioned I think “modern day girls girl” feminism is still facing many high and low battles and successes.
I’m always disappointed by the incredibly limited intersectionality of their videos lately. They happen across important points but stay in the shallows, or just miss them entirely.

In regards to the patriarchy, is it more likely that a female dominated society was never tired in the 200 thousand years of human history or that it was tired and they either collapsed or were absorbed by male dominated societies?
Can you stop this stupidity, we want equality, not the superiority of women over men.
@@user-ps2sy8yg8hare you sure you want equality? Want to register for selective service, loss the bisas in family court, have a husband that makes the same as you do, not get maternity leave, and be equally likely to be considered the aggressive in a domestic. Maybe you do, but not really the point anyway. Woman are 51% of the population and less likely to have a felony conviction that would prevent them from voting, so the majority of potential voters. That's why the natural compassion woman tend to have has resulted to a society that permits almost anything. Or not, maybe it's still a patriarchy for now.
Thank you for such a meaningful video as usual I am always inspired by how your channel is able to dive into complex topics with a holistic analysis
I'm so happy it resonated with you
6:46 Omg Ded. How is this being allowed?
Why choose Kate and William's wedding video though for the "however" part though, when they could have other examples of "heteronormative" relationships? I feel like THE Take team takes a dig at Kate & William every chance they get. It's like the "cool girl" with Amy Dunn era. It's now take a dig at Kate & William era.
Because the Royal Family HAD the penultimate chance to present the power of girl friendship in a high positions but the firm was out of touch with modern audiences and chose to pit Kate Middleton and Megan Markle completely ruining any notion of women working together like men can. Power can come in many forms but if it divided women into camps of Pro-Kate or Pro-Megan. If these highly "sophisticated" people are fighting then there's no hope for any of us to actually work together in lower levels. Sorry but this is why men are leaders of the world. Women aren't ready if they're b*tching about who's the popular Queen B. These are older women too, not Gen Z

Miranda Priest didn't say anything about feminism in The Devil Wears Prada. 🙄
No but she represents the girl boss type. Read between the lines
@@_Alimm If she's "the girl boss type" she's an almost demonic portrayal of the girl boss type. I love that movie, but she's not meant to be someone to emulate. Andy was much better.
I still don’t like the term “ girls girl” because it disregards anyone outside of the gender normative. It only includes cisgender women. Nobody who’s queer. You can be feminine and queer. Many queer femmes are apart of the fight for reproductive rights just as much as cisgender women. Instead of saying girls girl. Let’s us the proper term intersectional Feminist. TikTok ran with this term and just decide to use it for a bunch of stereotypes like they always do. “Oh she’s not a girls girl because she has male friends and she wants to sleep with my boyfriend.” she called me out for saying something racist she’s not a girl girl. “ she called me out for saying something homophobic and trans phobic she’s not a girl girl.” it’s like no honey, she actually was calling you out and making you take responsibility for your crappy actions. It’s like TikTok only understand the half of the meaning of feminism, but they never go beyond it, or understand any nuances. Then they go out long to such a girls for being “pick me’s. For not being stereotypically feminine, having masculine interests for male attention, then proceeded to say that “she’s not a girls girl”. But not realizing that they are putting gender in a very narrow box and not realizing that your gender identity does not strictly fall under one category.
I was hoping someone would say this! I feel like I've seen so many evolutions of feminism throughout my life. What bugs me the most is the oversimplification of feminism today with the whole "girl's girl" identity. Like, at any moment you can be identified as not one for something so silly and dumb, leaving all nuance out of any given situation. It seems like such a hostile environment where you can only be a yes man to all your fellow sister and one where you're not really allowed to call out another woman's disingenuous or passive aggressive behavior
@@eileenms8559 what also scares me about the whole girls girls versus pick me girl thing online, is I keep wondering why do you want to stay with your boyfriend? Your boyfriend is the one who cheated with the other girl. He’s the one who’s responsible that’s his consequences. And also it’s just like teaches the wrong ideas about relationships and about how to have a healthy relationship and how to be secure in your relationship and it’s weird because I feel like, as a millennial I feel like my education could’ve been a lot better and GenZ had access to way better education and I did but yeah I feel like they don’t appreciate it and they wanna live back in the early 2000s.
Which we all know the early 2000s as heavily publicized tabloid culture, lots of celebrity feuds. And yet I feel like so many people on TikTok when they’re doing their story times, they sound like they want to live out the celebrity fueds them self.
I'm actually very surprised that The Take hasn't done a video on Why Women Kill, especially season 2. Great story about female "friendships" and loyalty and even greater characters.
The Shapiro’s conservative views are rooted in their religion. So saying that their views are “toxic” or “wrong” is considered anti-Semitic….right? Just wondering

The ending of the latest Stranger Things season in which the female friendship played such a vital role, with the power to achieve something transcending that the romantic love couldn’t… that was incredible. It felt so revolutionary and inspiring, I’ve been so shocked it hasn’t been talked about more!!
I used to be a "pick me girl" to the boys when I was younger. Now in my 30s I choose to be a "pick me girl" to the girls! God I love you girls! I care more about your opinion than any man's opinion!!!!!
But when men prioritise other men's opinions over women's opinions, we're evil and misogynistic

So the bromance is new compared to the "womance"? Im in nyc and was/am i part of every type of social circle through the years, but perhaps I was thinking that girls expressed intimate friendships differently and more publically..holding hands, sharing blankets, crying, cuddle, gossip, apologize and back together. Sounds great if you're a lesbian but I feel that the male code of conduct (drastically changing now) was more clearly defined. I suppose that's the #1 reason the dating world feels like these norms have tripled in complexities of the "woke world order." NYC is a massive cemetery for dead ovaries bc you decided to be a "cat person" for too long and now you're stuck filing lawsuits against some guy with a family, who might or might not have made an "inappropriate remark" to you at work. It's obviously not everyone but I just can't stop meeting the same person with the same personality 😟
Any UT J-school grads catch the clip of Jensen near the end?
I love seeing "girl's girls" in movies and TV shows aimed at an "all ages" audience. Two movies from this decade -- Cartoon Saloon's "Wolfwalkers" and Pixar's "Turning Red" -- stand out for their focus on female friendships, something we still don't see often enough. After all, when young girls watch films like this, they may absorb the idea that friendships between and among girls are normal and (even better) important in those girls' lives. What are some other good examples of family films and TV shows that show strong, healthy bonds between girls?

"Yeah I support every patriarchal concept or action ever! But you can't call me out because I'll say you're not a feminist".
I mean, don't get me wrong we definitely support any woman's choice to get married and have babies as long as it's her choice, but that's not gonna stop us from fighting the expectation of women to only get married and have babies or the expectation that they should prioritize that.
There will be "self proclaimed feminists" who will trash every anti-patriarchal thing ever as long as the patriarchy is somehow benefiting them. I like calling that out!

Pfftt one of your girlfriend, marry your man.🤣
I really hope that at some point, they'll think of doing a video essay on Non-Binary characters,
Im a girls girl and im a men
YES YES YES
Why are there so many labels? Is this a human thing?
Either you're a decent person or not. This concept seems off to me.
I still like the original girls girl meaning! Characters like Elle Woods and Cher Horowitz. I don’t like this new definition 🤷🏽♀️
Could we please change that to Woman's Woman rather than girl's girl? So tired of women being infantilized.
Gloria Steinem was a whole FBI agent we got to let her go
In past videos you never targeted a specofoc youtuber you disagree with. But in this video you do. That is an undignified way to fight an apponent
Tara Mooknee ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
'How to behave on a date', "How to be a perfect wife'. That's some Handmaid's Tale type shit.
You must be a single right ?
Poor husband if you say NO.
@@ILoveYou-uj3vs I'm glad your husband allowed you to use the internet today
The modern feminist seems to just complain about men a lot, but save their worst judgement for other women.
You can make all the videos you want, nothing has changed.
A feminist fights for other women and equality. They don't bring their fellow woman down. Just because you're on the wrong side of the feminist movement doesm't give you the right to speak on it.
6:49 Nice to know she got a mention on the channel. A disturbing figure on RUclips.
DREW ❤️❤️❤️
Why do so many women love Drew and hate men?
@@christopherbrown5409 Refer to the video again on our reasoning for including Drew
@@slagoona1790 the video was dishonest, though; sometimes she goes in on men for expressing their personal preferences. Also, y'all would never stand for men targeting random women online.
@@christopherbrown5409 The difference is in historical power differences. There's a reason we say this world runs on patriarchy: A hegemonic masculinity, promoting domination over care, has ruled the world. Now, this isn't to say men aren't also victims to it, because they are. Their struggle is particular under this system, just as women's, trans people's, people of color's, and folks from every other possible background's is in their own particular way. But because men (I'm sure you don't need me to name all the other privileged identities too, which again STILL suffer because world economics prioritize
capital over people) still hold more social, economic, and other powers over women, this is why what Drew's doing is not only hilarious but IMPORTANT. The fact that it bothers you so much is something to analyze. I recommend checking out other RUclipsrs to understand where I'm coming from. Because unless we're both briefed in each others' perspectives, we'll just be shouting off our respective towers of Babylon: F.D Signifier (the manosphere videos in particular), Sisyphus 55, Economist Richard D. Wolff (Democracy at Work)
and Salari TV
@@slagoona1790 why do you think it's okay to hate LIVING men based on the unsolicited actions of DEAD men that said LIVING men weren't even there to ask for (hence, unsolicited)? I'm struggling to understand such "logic", ma'am.
Also, FD's manosphere videos were a lot of "fake-concerned uncle figure shitting on strangers he claims have no worth or power anyway, so why bother?" and "XYZ is bad and awful and problematic, but I dont have time to talk about it, despite beibg a professional RUclipsr who chose to make a miniseries about the subject". It was more of a timely punch-down than an honest, substantial critique... plus he pretends that divestors aren't an issue, despite their literally working overtime to slander BM for existing.
And why do women like you ALWAYS pretend that men are a hivemind? More men than women being in power or having their own money means fuckall to everyone who's not connected to them, but you stay pretending we all benefit because we have Joe Biden and not Josephine. 😒🙄
First!!
Aahh yes the combination of tara, drew and the take is what our souls need!
right??
I personally love your videos on feminism. They are entertaining, informative, and insightful.
So happy they resonate
GIRLS' GIRLS LOVE DREW

We, the women are fu**ing AWESOME!❤️

Ew, why?
I hate this…so not the real world
Drew sounds awesome!
How? All she does is call men she doesn't know bald or short. Also, she NEVER has this energy for women attacking or insulting men online.
I've become comfortable with men having an attitude towards me that suggest I'm a 'shrew' or uncool or weird. I'm often being outspoken and outraged about something and it annoys alot of men and THATS FINE. It weeds out dudes that see women as accessory to their social group, a female member to make the men look more approachable to other women and usually someone to wing woman them. Eww these men are not interested in being friends with women, they still see them through mysogynistic lense. that women are here to serve a role in a man's life instead of being a whole ass person.
Or maybe you just fuck up the vibe? Being around people who're "outspoken and outraged about something" "OFTEN", as YOU put it, is EXHAUSTING. Setting aside the very real possibility that you might be overreacting, did you ever stop to think that you might just be killing their limited time for fun in their limited lives on this limited planet?
We see how you treat each other from a young age. That’s not misogyny, we just know better than to open up to you. If someone doesn’t want to be friends with you that’s on you.
@@blaqken7726 and we grow up watching how our fathers treat our mothers and we stay single and unmarried
@@salamander8301 and we see you duck from accountability, responsibility, and being called out like they're two-pieces and biscuits. Why would or should anyone want to get with anyone so childish and irresponsible?
@@christopherbrown5409 exactly.
Feminism is not misandry.
Good joke
I thought Abby was a girl's girl... She's got the queerest energy of anyone in this video.
