Английская Википедия:Girly girl
Шаблон:Short description Girly girl is a term for a girl or woman who presents herself in a traditionally feminine way. This may include wearing pink, using make-up, using perfume, dressing in skirts and dresses, and engaging in activities that are traditionally associated with femininity, such as talking about relationships.[1]
The term is often used in a derogatory manner, but it can also be used in a more positive way, especially when considering the fluidity of gender roles.[2] Being a "girly girl" can then be seen as a fluid and partially embodied position – a form of discourse taken up, discarded or modified for tactical or strategic purposes.[3][4]
Social determinants
The female opposite of a girly girl is a tomboy. The male counterpart of a girly girl is a "man's man".Шаблон:Citation needed The increasing prevalence of girly girls in the early 21st century has been linked to a supposed "post-feminist, post–new man construction of masculinity and femininity in mutually exclusive terms",[5] as opposed to the more blurred gender representations of previous decades.[6]
