“I’m just a girl” is the latest viral trend sweeping across TikTok. In the same vain of “girl dinner,” “girl math,” and “girl hobby,” “I’m just a girl” normalizes the infantilization of women and superficial indulgence through overconsumption of beauty products, clothing, skincare items and other unnecessary products. In this video, I discuss how TikTok users are using the phrase “I’m just a girl” to justify their financial recklessness, poor driving skills, shopping addictions, and other shortcomings. Using the background music “Just a Girl” by No Doubt, this new crop of “girl-ification” trends are breeding a new generation of women who take pride in being shallow and uneducated.
