Not like the other girls

Not like the other girls.

By telling women and girls that they are not like the other girls your are setting them apart. You are generally saying they are special and the rest of womanhood is a bit shit. STOP IT.

If you use the term yourself, please investigate why you want to be set apart from the other women. When in fact we can all be uniquely & similarly fab!

It's a dick thing to say and we are not here for it anymore!

Join us on our quest to change our society by thinking about the language we use on each other!
