It's time we stopped being ashamed of liking 'girly' things. Here, Édaein O' Connell explains why she's embracing all things pink and glittery. Barbie ? Didn’t know her. Action Man?

They were, and never would be, good enough.trilogy at least three times and understand the fragile nuances of sports and pints of Guinness.
Thankfully, the older I became, the less I wanted to pretend. As the years added up, I realised that being girly was a joyous activity. It made me feel good. It helped me communicate better with my female peers and connect with them more authentically.

Swift’s concerts were a presentation of girlhood. While there were men dotted around the stadium, the majority of attendees were females. They were in pairs, in threes or larger groups.

Instead, it’s her lyrics which speak to every experience a girl can encounter.
