My name is alex and I go to parkvale high school. It’s your typical high school with the cheerleaders, jocks, goths and the nerds. *camera zooms in on average looking white brunette boy with a wavy fringe* And yep, that’s me. One of the nerds. But that girl? *pan to typical blonde cheerleader in small skirt* That’s Alicia. She’s sooooo hot. I’ve been in love with her since elementary school. But she’s dating jarred *yet another typical white boy walks on camera* he’s our jock and super popular. He’s always bullied me. But now prom is coming up and maybe I can impress her with my two equally dull white male friends

MC: I get the sense that women might be intimidated by you—that you’re more of a tough girl who is one of the guys.
NK: Oh, my God, no! The opposite! I only like girls. Boys are toys, but girls are forever.
Few shows before (or since?) have given such compelling power to very young women — to Laura, Audrey, Donna, Shelley, and Madeline, Laura’s identical cousin (cue Patty Duke and Vertigo) — all of whom aren’t just beautiful, but richly contradictory, exploring the question of whether they are good girls or bad. And it’s not the men but the girls themselves playing with these notions, trying on masks, disguises (remember Donna, wearing Laura’s dark noir sunglasses and playing the bad girl with James?), which is what you do when you’re that age. And they ally themselves with each other and they are bold and brave (both Donna and Audrey play detective, go undercover).
i find it interesting that when it comes to liking girls I’m just like GIRLS ALL GIRLS YES PERFECT GIRLS but with boys i’m like you must fit criteria 1-9 but 9 is optional only if you completely fill criteria 10-13 with a non-optional essay on 21st century sexism due by 5am

It saddens me to see girls proudly declaring they’re not like other girls – especially when it’s 41,000 girls saying it in a chorus, never recognizing the contradiction. It’s taking a form of contempt for women – even a hatred for women – and internalizing it by saying, Yes, those girls are awful, but I’m special, I’m not like that, instead of stepping back and saying, This is a lie.
…
The real meaning of “I’m not like the other girls” is, I think, “I’m not the media’s image of what girls should be.” Well, very, very few of us are. Pop culture wants to tell us that we’re all shallow, backstabbing, appearance-obsessed shopaholics without a thought in our heads beyond cute boys and cuter handbags. It’s a lie – a flat-out lie – and we need to recognize it and say so instead of accepting that judgment as true for other girls, but not for you.
“I’m not like the other girls”, Claudia Gray
Excellent article. I always end up thinking this when I see reblogs like that. Female competition is a horrible, poisonous thing (that I’ve only recently gotten over engaging in, and I am much happier for it).

As fiction writer Kelly Link said, ‘I’m no longer watching television in which middle-aged men figure out how to be men. I’d rather watch shows about teenaged girls figuring out what it means to be a monster.’
