{{Wiktionary}}Girly girl is a term for a girl or woman who chooses to dress and behave in an especially feminine style, such as wearing pink, using make-up, using perfume, dressing in skirts, dresses and blouses, and talking about relationships and other activities which are associated with the traditional gender role of a girl.[1]

Though the term is sometimes used as a term of disdain, it can also be used in a more positive way, particularly when exploring one of a range of gender positions.[2] Being a "girly girl" can then be seen as a fluid and partially embodied{{what|date=June 2017}} position – a form of discourse{{what|date=June 2017}} taken up, discarded or modified for tactical/strategic ends.[3]

Antecedents

An ancestral figure of the girly girl was the womanly woman of the early 20th century, caricatured and attacked by the flapper as a "bundle of beautiful clothes...[round a] mass of affectations".[4] An earlier term for a squeamish kind of ultra femininity was missish.[5]

Social determinants

The female opposite of a girly girl is a tomboy. The male counterpart of a girly girl is a "man's man". {{citation needed|date=March 2017}} The increasing prevalence of girly girls in the early 21st century has been linked to the post-feminist, post-new man construction of masculinity and femininity in mutually exclusive terms,[6] as opposed to the more blurred gender representations of previous decades.[7]
