The effects of social media and subsequent linguistic habits are so interesting. It’s definitely an underdiscussed topic in both feminist spheres and mainstream social media. I absolutely loved reading this article and can’t wait to read more pieces from you 🤍
Thank you! It’s certainly not a new topic in any sense—there’s so much research out there on how language is power and control. However, we often forget to make that connection with the things we say and adopt online because these things feel trendy and relevant…they’re just “what you do.” Excited to write more about these ideas!
I have often had similar thoughts on the commodication and overuse of "girl" terms and phrases like "That's that me espresso." Ellen Yang clearly addressed the issue in a navigatable manner looking deeply at the roots and harvest of these trends. This is a wonderful article and I can't wait to see mote from Yang. :)
Thank you so much for reading, Hannah! I’m interested to see how girlification continues into the future and what other ideas and trends this unearths online. Welcome to my writing 🫶
