Seriously. “Throw like a girl”, “run like a girl”, “you’re so girly” or “that’s so girly.” It’s 2020 and being girly is not only NOT a bad thing, but it’s an empowering thing and something to be proud of. Why has the word girl been turned into a negative description while the word boy has remained the same? It needs to stop. Seriously.
