I am the op of that post and I think you missed the movies whole point, girlhood is very important we go though a lot and should stick together especially when we are always pinned against each there the whole point of her movie is that yes we are girls but we have so much more to us
It generally doesn't make any sense. What does it entail? What's one girl/ womandhood experience that no men/ boys experience and vise versa? Where do transgender people fall into this? I grew up socially raised as a boy and I'm female. So I barely experienced any of this so called "girlhood" at all. Plus it's corny as fuck
Anthropologically and sociologically womanhood and manhood are very important. Sure some parts of it can be criticized but it helps with unity and giving people a community that understands them in at least a baseline way and that can be very beneficial for a lot of people not only physically but also mentally. Also the Barbie movie slapped and called out a lot of blatant misogyny that has become so normalized we no longer see it
I think generally what I believed to be womanhood is what we as women face because we are marginalized group, but beyond that I think you’re looking at womanhood as too much of a binary. I think woman hit us. Whatever you make it out to me because we had such different upbringing my version in your version will be very different and that’s OK. It’s not just one thing. It’s whatever we make it to be.
