Timelies all!
Nifty swag bags, though I have no intention of ever going to SDCC. (Crowded beyond my tolerance for crowds, for one thing.)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Of course, maybe they're just young?
How can you not have met one decent feminine person? Or did you just decide girly girl means those women, you know, the ones you don't like, the ones that are useless, and there's no misogyny in that at all, nosirree.
Jezebel had an article about someone bitching about an eight year old kickboxing girl, and sure enough, someone was bitching that her gloves were pink. A 6' 275lb woman piped up that she liked to hit people while she was wearing pink, and I couldn't have been more pleased.
I saw the cutest little boy yesterday. He was pushing a pink stroller with a baby doll strapped into it. Adorbs.

That is the kind of thing that one cannot google properly for fear of all kinds of inappropriate photos and content.
Ohhh, good point.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Or they're people that the "girly girls" don't give the appropriate reaction and attention to.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I am waiting for the contractor to come pick up something. I know, were I to go to the bathroom or start making food or start a load of laundry, he would choose that moment to show up.
Also, I have iTunes going on shuffle. What are the odds that he'll arrive just as something really odd pops up? (Just finished: "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?")

But "girly girls" are just people with a spectrum of reactions. Which is kinda the point. Nobody who wore makeup was ever nice to them? Ever? Seriously? Could ever win their respect?

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Girliness isn't really a problem for me until it becomes compulsory. I mean, there are times, despite my crime-freak nature when I want to do really girly things. Not that I could go full-on Elle Woods, cause about halfway through that movie, she giggles about one time too many, and I have to shut it off.

I have told people that part of the reason I present myself like this is so that no one will expect me to have evil plans, much less see them through.

I got so much "But! You!" at the krav centre when they saw me in work clothes. But me what? Same with Alice, the lawyer who kicked all sorts of ass. They could deal with the idea that we might vamp up, but not femme up. So frustrating. And it consolidated my urges to wear pink and shed glitter all over them. Silly people.
AND I'M NOT THAT FEMME!
