I think it's odd that "not like other girls" is always portrayed as going hand-in-hand with being "more like a guy" or "one of the guys." I had an "I'm not like other girls" phase as a teenager, but it had nothing to do with wanting to impress guys or be like one. I was contemptuous of guys too. It was just that since I was a girl it felt like I was expected to be like "other girls" (which in my mind iirc mostly meant being into makeup and prime-time teen dramas and boybands, stuff like that) whereas I wasn't particularly expected to be like a guy, so "not like other girls" was how I distinguished myself.

Exactly.

These always feel like "let's bash the girls who bash other girls by laughing about how desperate they are for male attention, or how much of a boy they're trying to be because they must think men are superior, because not-girl must automatically equal trying to be one of the guys" and that's dragging so many other problems into the argument that everyone looks stupid.
