Girlism, again

It occurs to me that no one, not even Halley, is really asking how self-identified girlists feel about girlism. I obviously can’t say, as I couldn’t be a successful girlist if I wanted to, which I don’t particularly.

If Halley is right, and girlists adopt girlism knowing full well it’s a ploy, I have to grin at the ironic picture of men being manipulated by the narrow (in several senses of the word!) image of women they themselves created and continue to promote. My grin gets even wider when I consider what has to happen for the manipulation to cease being effective.

Hey, it’s a nasty world. I take a little poetic justice where I can find it. Yes, even though I can’t myself derive any advantage from it.
