History of an internet stereotype: “women not eating full meals” and “girl dinner”

1.53K viewsOther

Where did this thing come from? Along with the stereotype of girls drinking coffee and eating nothing else? And the “almond mom” thing? Do women not eat? What’s the history of this cultural thingy?

Girl dinner: random items that check the boxes for a well rounded meal, instead of cooking an entire meal it’s just kinda thrown together. Still satisfying, but easy & filling

Almond mom: a woman that is always on a diet, usually a fad, & pushes it onto her children. Example: my mom dips her fork into her salad dressing before taking a bite of salad because it’s “less calories”, instead of just dumping the appropriate amount of dressing on the salad

Drinking coffee & not eating anything else: ehh a lot of people do this but I think it’s become a joke because women tend to get too busy to sit down & eat, then end up forgetting to eat throughout the day. A lot of stay at home mom’s or women in the work force are pressured to keep working & in turn don’t get the chance to eat. (This is my interpretation as someone who is a stay at home mom, that has done this since I’ve been a teenager lol)

There’s a good bit of stereotypes towards women & food because the majority of women you speak to will have or have struggled with food in the past, & the ones you mentioned are some of the most commonly talked about on social media.
These are all how I have PERSONALLY interpreted the stereotypes, so take it with a grain of salt
