What is "Girl Mode"

No idea, but reminds me of the innocent underage girl porn trope. All wide eyed passivity and helplessness.

Definitely ‘girl’ as a role to be played rather than a description of a human female under the age of 18.

I always thought it was "Girlie" as in magazines.

Head tilt.

Well we know what it is but we're not allowed to talk about it here. 🙊

This is just making me think of all those gross men from OLD that start messages with “are you a naughty/dirty girl”.

There is nothing innocent in it the perverted. Fuckers. Delete me if necessary!

There’s no such thing though is there?

It’s like ‘the game’ - if you have to think it, you’ve lost.

Isn't it utterly amazing that Eddie Izzard can switch out of girl mode when s/he's in Hollywood and cast as a cis male serial killer in 'Hannibal'. I wish I could do that, it would be well handy for avoiding rapists and getting paid more at work.

Eddie's twitter bio just looks exactly like Eddie looked when Eddie was just a male comedian who wore lippie.
There is a photo of Eddie floating round where Eddie's hair is slightly longer and is wearing more make up.

I just can't see what Eddie thinks Eddie is achieving. We were so behind the "not women's clothes, they're my clothes" line and I haven't heard of Eddie suffering any assaults because of Eddie's appearance...
Now Eddie is claiming to be a male lesbian?

Such a let down.

I haven't the foggiest what girl mode is, but it seems to be a state that's only reported by adult males.

Loving the mental images prompted by this typo though: we smile croqettishly

Girl mode? Does not compute. My pink brain resists all critical and intelligent thought.

Ha ha, I've just seen the other pillow fight comments.

Girl mode is having pillow fights when having a "girl's night in".

... and the pillow fights and the high heels and the lippy and the crying at soppy movies and being good at wrapping presents and writing Christmas cards.

Fuck I forgot about the glitter

I think it involves talking to other ‘girls’ about serums and contouring or complimenting each other’s eyebrows or ‘switching off’ the news because it’s too depressing and lighting a scented candle and having a bubble bath. Or baking bread and/or cupcakes and flicking flour on your nose and blowing hair out your face in a comedic fashion with a head tilt at the end. And being ‘naughty’ and having a sneaky snaffle of a Cupcake behind the fridge door. And lots of Prosecco or fizzy wine while you gossip and giggle.

I’m surprised all you ‘girls’ on here don’t know this stuff what with you being ‘girls’

I would really love for someone to just ask this question of Eddie Izzard - not in an unkind, 'bigoted' way, just to simply ask the question 'what do you mean by girl mode' and see what he says?

I've never heard this as a phrase before. It is a bit concerning that a 58 year old sees themselves as a boy or girl 🙄 I don't think I had referred to myself as a girl since I was 19/20

Girl mode is whatever Eddie says it is & any of you who disagree are a BIGOT. Pout, flounce, pout.

I’m 52, menopausal, I haven’t been a girl in 34 years.

That question is too hard for my girl brain, I'm afraid.

If he were actually a woman he'd be pushing OAP mode if the pensions age hadn't been changed.

It's silly, frivolous and flighty. 'Submissive' and 'passive' as has been described by TW on here. It's not like the serious and important menz with all the difficult, heavy duty, significant stuff to deal with. When Eddie's in 'girl mode' he's not being as clever as male stand up comedian Eddie, Jan Morris touched upon this too with her idea of womanhood. Girl mode is an escape, a holiday from the burden of manhood which is a BIG DEAL. It's legitimising reverting to being a child.

What? Is this a thing, men saying “girl mode”?

If so I’d say it is what my 8 and 6 year d do when they occasionally smear lipstick across their face and wear sparkles. A grown man being excited by that is a bit fucked up.

I think it's when you do the head tilt and put lippy on.

Then you go and have a pillow fight in your silky baby doll nighty.
