The girls are fighting…
Except… they’re not.
When grown men with nuclear codes and billionaire egos have public meltdowns, it’s not a catfight—it’s a crisis. But calling it “girl drama” doesn’t just miss the mark—it recycles the same misogynistic rhetoric used to keep women out of power in the first place.
Because here’s the thing:
👉 Emotional women are called unstable.
👉 Emotional men are called… presidents, prophets, or podcasters.
Even in jest, comparing narcissistic, dangerous behavior to “fighting girls” reinforces the idea that women are petty, irrational, and unfit to lead. And while the memes may slap, the message still stings.
Misogyny dressed up as humor is still misogyny. Let’s stop using women as the punchline for male dysfunction.
Because if “the girls” were actually fighting?
They’d handle it in group chat and end it with a Venmo for wine and therapy.
