Wtf is a girlboss? Sounds incredibly sexist and condescending. She just better wear something cute and not bump her head on that glass ceiling.
2014-2018 it was used unironically to connotate women creating spaces for themselves in business - from a popular, well-meaning book of the same name
2019 onwards it has been used sarcastically to reference performative, ineffectual feminism.
You'd think she could at least use the term 'woman' to avoid coming across as a specialized dominatrix for people with an unfortunate brat fetish.
She didn’t call herself girlboss, the writer of the article did
Because he's got an unfortunate brat fetish.
