Brianna Parkins: What do people mean when they say ‘girl’s girl’?
Of course, like most things relating to women and their place in the world, the term “girls girl” and the rough concept has been built on the effots of other women who have come before.
“Betraying the sisterhood” or “being a bad sister” was more about an individual’s actions hurting an entire gender. Which is what makes the terms messier in real life application. Is getting Botox “betraying the sisterhood” in theory? It supports the damaging narrative that a woman’s primary value is youth and she must cling on to it or be cast out as a dithering old biddy who nobody should pay any attention to.
In comparison, the “girl’s girl” award would never hang in the balance over a trip to the aesthetician’s clinic.“Girl’s girls” can get Botox but they cannot for example point out that a colleague has it in front of visitors from head office at an afternoon tea.
