On one hand, the discourse goes that it's infantilizing women and reducing their own agency for the memes. On the other hand, it's cute, and *I'm* really just a girl. This phrase exists in a space between genuine self-expression and performative femininity. When people say "I'm just a girl," are they reclaiming their right to make mistakes and be imperfect, or are they performing a calculated helplessness, a shield against accountability? The line blurs constantly, and that's probably why we have a lot of people thinking that it's bringing feminism movements backwards. But I think perfection is an exhausting standard. I personally can't stand it myself. I know that women fought to be taken more seriously in the workplace at the same standard as men. But why can't I just seriously not be taken seriously? It's my small rebellion against the expectation that women must be exceptional just to be accepted. Just let me be fun and cute, because these traits are allowed to exist in the same space as being intelligent, well-spoken, and multifaceted.
