Artist Creates A Comic To Show How Wrong The “I’m Not Like The Other Girls” Attitude Really Is

You're still like other girls.

You are still missing the point, which is that THIS EXPERIENCE IS NOT UNIQUE, and therefore THERE ARE GIRLS LIKE YOU, therefore YOU ARE LIKE OTHER GIRLS.

This was my first thought when I saw the post! I never thought it was negative...just honest, a lot of girls in my grade only ever talked about boys, shoes, and clothes! But once I got to know them I found that a few like one or two things the same as me or had their own things that the other girls didn't really partake in but, I agree with you! My bf lives out of state and he said he never even dated until he met me because a lot of girls at his school had such one track minds and were kind of half brained

I like nerdy stuff, I like graphic tees and video games and I've been bullied before but I'm still like a lot of other girls. And a lot of other girls are like me. I don't act like I'm different. I just am who I am and you're sitting here acting like there's no other girl like you. But fact is that your experience isn't unique at all. by saying you're not like other girls is putting all our girls who aren't you into a group and acting like they're all the same. you can talk about your experience but then saying that you're not like other girls because of your experience isn't true cuz you don't know what other girls go through. Girls who who bullied you you are insecure and have their own issues, but does that not make them like other girls? Quit separating yourself from people. We're all unique and different people.

I felt the same as you when I was younger, being the bookworm constantly talking about the latest video game I played and with little interest in dressing up or other "girly" things. And since then I've known dozens of other women with similar experiences. What you're not getting is that you are like other women. The point of this comic flew right over your head: girls and women and not a hive mind and we all have different interests. I was bullied by girls in school too, but I found others with similar interests as well. I hope you grow up soon and see that just because someone in school bullied you it doesn't mean other women are your enemy and being a woman who likes video games is not at all an unique experience.

I never felt like other girls and still don't feel like other girls. Other girls have made that clear. I was always bullied for things I liked, things I wore. A mojority of other girls called me "A wannabe boy." But I found I fit in better with boys than girls and I was made fun of for that as well. Middle school was rough and so was my first year of high school because of that. But I've owned up to the fact I'm not like other girls and it doesn't bother. I would rather be me and considered "not like other girls" than hang around other girls/people that have nothing better to do than knock people down constantly. Obviously not all girls are like that, but the majority of the girls at my school were until I was finally homeschooled. Even at college I still get weird looks and talked about when people think I can't hear. But if I'm not like other girls that's fine. I say it now with confidence or if guys tell me I'm not like other girls because I like video games. I just reply "You're right. I'm not. I'm me and that's okay." I'm at the point in my life that if girls are just gonna talk behind my back, be rude to me for liking what I like, then I really don't want to hang around them. I would prefer to be alone where I'm happy, than hang out with someone who makes fun of someone else. I stay away and hang out with my guy friends who actually respect me, even though I'm the only girl in the group. So where I'm from I'm definitely not seen as "other girls" I'm seen as an outsider who's tried to fit in only to be told flat out I'm not welcome to sit with other girls because I'm different.
