Are you the ‘IT GIRL’?

The IT girl has it all - she is taking leaps and bounds in her career, takes vacation twice a year, and lives a fabolous life swearing by her skincare and haircare. Every girl today dreams to be the IT girl.

With the rise of such trends, there has also been a rise of the backslash received towards these trends - promoting an unrealistic lifestyle and setting unrealistic standards, stereotyping women, affecting mental health, promoting toxicity of social media and glorifying an expensive way of living which the majority of women cant afford.

My question to you is - In a world where collectivisation of women is the prime need for the common good, where women still don't have agency where standards for women already exist, where patriarchy is a means of life and the counterfactual for women is to ace household work and leaves monetary needs to their male counteracts, are the rise of such trends really that toxic? Is it not better to at least try to change the standards or to live the utopic dream where one day no standards and objectifications for women will exist at all? Given the harsh realities exposed, such trends do seem like a better replacement if not ideal. Apart from motivating teenage girls to build a carer, it promotes women to live a healthy lifestyle, have a healthy work life balance and take the agency for themselves. As said, a small change today leads to a large change in the future.

So women, do you want to become the 'IT GIRL'?
