Insightful! Owning and claiming and distorting “girlness” the way Carrie did is akin to how Courtney Love presented herself. This was happening in many arenas. Carrie wasn’t as obvious as Courtney but using this well worn trope of “girlification” as a way of claiming the narrative was a way of pushing boundaries… there is a recoil and collateral damage that that I think your analysis showcases well.
Not everyone agreed that a “slut walk” was a good tool for establishing a new healthier power dynamic.
