“Just Girly Things” is a tumblr that has to be run by 11-year-olds because I cannot fathom that any grown woman could endorse this rigamarole A bunch of basic girls got together to create all of these lovely images that are supposed to show you something that represents the experience of being girl. I know Justin Bieber fans with more sense than this.
When I think about what actually differentiates women from men I think of stuff like periods, boobs, unequal pay and a relentless love of breaking out into song and dance at parties. Just Girly Things isn’t about what actually makes a lady a lady, it’s just a list of shit that is kind of cool. No really, here are some actual examples of things that are supposedly just for girls: turtles, laptops and ice cream.
WOW. You’ve really, like, captured my experience of growing up as a woman. Really, truly, it’s been scientifically proven that only females can enjoy the mystery and awe of how turtles can inhabit both land and water and yet are classified as reptiles not amphibians contrary to my fifth grade education.
If you thought “Just Girly Things” actually represented things that are unique to women, you would think men are amorphous blobs incapable of reading, experiencing emotions and enjoying citrus fruits. It’s not that “Just Girly Things” makes girls look dumb it’s that it makes them look basic by asserting that these universally beloved things are only for girls.
A better title for the blog would be called “Here Are Bunch Of Generic As Fuck Things That Everyone Kinda Likes.”
