Definition of «gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss»

This phrase is an ironic and satirical take on modern feminist empowerment rhetoric, often used to mock performative or superficial displays of female strength. 'Gaslight' refers to manipulating someone into questioning their own sanity, 'gatekeep' means controlling access to something, and 'girlboss' is a term for a successful, ambitious woman. When combined, the phrase humorously critiques the darker, more manipulative aspects that can sometimes be associated with certain interpretations of female empowerment, often used in a self-aware, meme-like context. It highlights the perceived hypocrisy or shallowness of some corporate or social media-driven feminist narratives.
