[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^or girl dinner. Whatever. The way we always eat and never thought to brag? share?[/quote]

I rarely eat like that. [/quote]

Eat like what? Wtf is girl dinner supposed to mean?[/quote]

It's when you're alone and want a dinner that is easy, usually doesn't involve cooking or cleanup, and wouldn't be considered a "real meal" by a lot of people. So like, a glass of wine and some cheese/charcuterie with a hunk of baguette.

I absolutely hate this. It's so regressive. Like a woman alone does not merit a full home cooked meal. I get being tired and not wanting to cook, but OTOH it's implying women should subsist on air and a few handfuls of popcorn, and actual meals are just for men/families. I am single and enjoy cooking healthy hot meals. I can save the leftovers for tomorrow and/or know how to make quick meals in less than 10 minutes. I deserve a home cooked meal at the end of the workday as much as anyone else! [/quote]

And I’m single and don’t give a shit about having a hot meal. I’ve apparently been “girl eating” my whole life. It’s not a comment on how much I value myself, I promise. [/quote]

PP. Absolutely no issues with that! Everyone should eat how they want. My issue is with the branding of it as "girl dinner" like that's what all women secretly want or should do.[/quote]
