Honestly you have the patience of a saint dealing with all these rude people knocking your using the word girl.

bless you, that is sweet of you ❤️‍🩹 I remember being very battered by anons a few years ago, and I have since learned not to take it to heart!

i lost my late teen/early twenties to ptsd after a traumatic event. i’m nearly thirty now and finally feeling like i’m getting to connect with the more positive aspects of ‘girlhood’. and at what point do you ever leave it, i don’t think it’s something eternal.

I am sincerely very sorry that was your experience, and I truly sympathise. I am so glad you are able to reconfigure what ‘girlhood’ is to you, that is completely deserved. ♥️

women in their 20s stop calling yourself girls and start calling yourself what you are AN ADULT WOMAN

I imagine I understand where you are coming from, re the dangers of the infantilisation of women (this is me being generous towards your interpretation), and I sympathise. but please let me refer you to:

• The Girl in Theory: Toward a Critical Girlhood Studies Symposium <Girl in Theory>

• Tiqqun’s Preliminary Materials For a Theory of the Young-Girl <Young-Girl>

• Heather Warren-Crow’s Young-Girls in Echoland: #Theorizing Tiqqun

• & Girlhood and the Plastic Image

• Alex Quicho’s ‘Everyone is a Girl Online’

• Claudia Mitchell’s Girlhood Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal <Girlhood Studies>

thank you. ♡
