A non question for actual women. What is "girl mode"?
To me it's a very youth orientated fetishy definition which feels a bit like My Little Pony.

I stopped calling myself a girl at the point I hit around 20 I think. I dont think of myself as a girl, I think of myself as a woman, especially once I had children.

I think it's odd to describe yourself as a girl if you are a middle aged man. I'm trying to imagine an older woman describing herself as being in "boy mode" and all I can think of is Jimmy Krankee.

I would cringe to hear an adult female talk about ‘girl mode’, so you can imagine how I feel hearing grown men using the term. Nauseating.

It’s fetishising femaleness. It doesn’t exist.

A girl is just a description of a female child or very young women. It’s not a behaviour.

Is it when we go boobily bopping down the stairs to feel our breasts bounce saucily? Is it when we smile croqettishly into the camera for our professional head shots, maybe wearing an off the shoulder or plunging neckline? Or is it having a good old hormonal weepy session and celebrate it online?

I haven’t found my ‘girl mode’ switch that will allow me to strike that pose, mention feeling weepy and be taken seriously in my work. Not that I want to find that switch. There is some potential that it might narrow my vision to just me, myself and, selfie taking, I and I cannot imagine that being very fulfilling.

Don’t mind me, I am having a monster perimenopausal day and can’t leave the house as I need to be handy to the loo. Obviously, in full blown woman mode and that is not so aspirational.

It's when men get all giggly and enjoy skirts that go spinny and make-up and glitter and such things. It has nothing to do with actual womanhood and they can very much enjoy those things without claiming to be female, if they so wish.

I'm a couple of years younger than Izzard. My "girl mode" is the menopause. In fact, that's pretty much the norm for actual women in their fifties.

It appears to be dying your hair rainbow colours and having a female anime character as your profile picture on social media.

A pile of bollocks

I'm in girl mode. I have my period and I'm stuffing my face with chocolate (Ferrero Rocher) Could I be anymore girly?

But really it's all a load of bollocks isn't it. Woman (or girl) isn't a feeling and I wish men would stop appropriating it and then making themselves out to the most oppressed ever. 🙄

I said non question by accident. Although it's a non question as women don't talk about girl modes.
