The phrase "girl's girl" isn’t new, and certainly existed long before the advent of TikTok or reality TV. But the ubiquity, conviction, and rush to determine who is or is not up to the standards of girl-ness, across the reality shows of Bravo and beyond, is gaining popularity. Sociology professor Danielle Lindemann isn’t surprised the phrase is popping up as ideas of femininity divide into polarized camps. “When we’re asking people, ‘Are you a girl’s girl?’ we’re sort of asking them to locate themselves within that — like, where do you stand?," Lindemann told The 19th.
