That feeling of empowerment from showing a thong coexisted with a much less innocent message: mainstream representations of young women were preparing, almost without us realizing it, a rollback of feminism and a loss of rights for future generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"964\" data-end=\"1439\"\u003eIn \u003cem data-start=\"967\" data-end=\"1062\"\u003eGirl on Girl: How Pop Culture Pitted a Generation of Women Against Themselves\u003c\/em\u003e, Sophie Gilbert, a 2022 Pulitzer Prize finalist, takes a thorough look at the popular culture of the turn of the millennium. She analyzes teen pop, \u003cem data-start=\"1222\" data-end=\"1235\"\u003eheroin chic\u003c\/em\u003e, reality TV, and the explosion of internet pornography, and how that global presence seeped into the collective consciousness until normalizing a low-intensity but very high-impact misogyny.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1441\" data-end=\"1844\"\u003eGilbert shows how that cultural climate was the seed of regressions we now clearly recognize: Trump’s reelection, the rollback of reproductive rights, the rise of the \u003cem data-start=\"1631\" data-end=\"1641\"\u003etradwife\u003c\/em\u003e phenomenon, or incel violence did not appear out of nowhere but are supported by decades of narratives that pitted girls against each other and put their bodies at the center of spectacle, mockery, and control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1846\" data-end=\"2252\"\u003eThis essay offers genuine violet-tinted glasses to read the cultural dynamics of the past and present. Understanding the ways women have been denigrated and dissected helps identify and neutralize those attacks today: after closing the book, what remains is a tool of cultural self-defense to look with different eyes at music videos, social media, media outlets, and political discourse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1846\" data-end=\"2252\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“In Girl on Girl, Sophie Gilbert delivers a raw analysis of how the cultural currents of the 90s and 2000s, both on and offline, harmed young women in a dark and profound way.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2607\" data-end=\"2610\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaya Salam, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"2624\" data-end=\"2644\"\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"1846\" data-end=\"2252\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"2624\" data-end=\"2644\"\u003eAbout the author:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1846\" data-end=\"2252\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"2624\" data-end=\"2644\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSophie Gilbert\u003c\/strong\u003e is a British journalist and cultural critic.
