That’s fair. I actually enjoyed hearing your perspective. 

 

It’s nice when we express authentically yea. Your cheeseburger comment was hilarious to me💀💀maybe sounds hypocritical of me to think it’s funny but humor is one thing, empathy is another and they can coexist

Listen to yourself please.

This is not something to be proud of.

I find your guys' lack of empathy disturbing.

It's kinda scary how literal you are sometimes.

I never said they were lying about girls who look better than them. My point is that envy or even a little bit of hate can exist without someone being dishonest.

You can genuinely like someone and still feel jealous of them at the same time.

 

Yep but you extrapolated that girl power was a lie. You came in with absolute statements and judgements about others being losers and now you are backtracking. 

It appears like you made a hasty, snap judgement and then backtracked adding nuance. A well thought out idea about mechanisms probably would have added the above in the first place. Points to emotional offloading rather than a proper point.

So is girl power a lie? Or are do some PEOPLE suffer from envy? 

Why is this topic gendered?

It applies to men and women.

Haha, now we’re talking. Humor and empathy can absolutely coexist. Otherwise I’d be in serious trouble.

“Girl power” is a lie because girls say they support each other in everything and love each other, but that is not always true. Of course, this topic has to be about a gender since I’m specifically talking about girl power. Not even gay men go around shouting “girl power.”

No, but men support each other in similar ways. Just without the label. Bros before Hoes is a similar phrase and idea. It's not gendered.

Again I think it's a you problem - you are interpreting 'Girl Power' without applying any nuance. But applying nuance in other ways to other things.

It appears as bias.

I hear you. But you’re kind of proving my point without realizing it.

I’m not saying one gender is better or worse here. I’m saying the labels create an illusion of consistency that reality doesn’t always support.

But of course - you have to really be biased to take a phrase like "Girl Power" to be absolute and irrevocably true all the time. 

It flattens out all the different types of people and reactions they have to various situations. Removes all nuance. 

I'm not proving your point, because your point lacks all nuance and I don't support absolutes like this. Girl Power can be taken to stupid, blind extremes. Just like Bros before Hoes. 

The common factor is - people - not gender.

When men compliment other men, it often comes across as more straightforward and literal, while among women it can sometimes feel more socially layered or context-dependent.

Girls aren't judging each other as harshly as men judge girls appearance.

That is false, research suggests women are more critical in evaluating womens appearances than men.
