"Girl math". Superdrug, tut tut tut

[GirlMathBS]

Why does it feel like the world is regressing?

It's a weird kind of "online community" that is built around self-sexism, the idea that this is a "girl" thing, and not a young people thing.

I’m not an ‘older woman’ though, so I am allowed an opinion?

PuddlesPityParty my teenage dd thinks the ad is cringe and sexist. She finds shopping and maths super fun!!! 😝The sexist and dumb idiocy of the advert puts her totally off this product and she won't be wasting her shopping or maths skills there. HTH

Well given that this shop sells testosterone online with no safeguards what do you expect.
furious.

Define older please. Anything above Gen Z, which it’s aimed at, is older.

Cool good for her. But I hope your daughter doesn’t judge the girls who have a bit of fun and use their terms like their judgemental mother. HTH.

Which girls and what kind of fun are they having? Do you mean they find looking at the ad fun? Buying croissants? Forgoing croissants? Applying lip gloss? I disagree that sexism is fun, on the contrary, it undermines fun.

I'm also confused how critiquing an overtly sexist ad is judgemental 😂 are you the mummy of the ad designer?

I had to wonder if this was a genuine mail out too. I’m you’re every day basic idiot, but even to my eyes it’s a terribly put together piece of marketing, and that’s not including obvious typos and poor grammar.

Oops. My “you’re” was entirely accidental, but you can see what I mean.

Girl maths in our house is currently studying for postgraduate professional diploma in nuclear physics... not what concealer to use!

These flippant things make me angry

Female software architect here. I totally see your concern.

It is if you object to the concept of girl math. I’ve never heard of ‘boy math’.

"Boy math" has been around for over a year too. It pokes fun at the hypocritical an nonsensical stuff men say, think and do.

Believing a woman having sex with 30 men will give her a loose vagina, but having sex 30 times with the same man will not.

Wanting zero children, yet using zero condoms.

Being 6ft tall, yet are the same height as their 5'5" girlfriend in 3" heels.

Again, nothing to do with math.

Don't eat. Look nice 😁😁

The trend started with boy math to poke fun at men.

Boy spelling?

Maybe the spotty work experience boy did it.

Soooooo, superdrug, you're saying we should make ourselves attractive to the male gaze instead of being nice to ourselves?
Yeah it'll be a no for me ta 😘

Boy grammar.

Yet another case of UK people watching far too much TV, thinking they are on a American TV show, and adopting American personalities and sayings as a result.

Let's stick with MATHS.
