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?

It is definitely related to cultural expectations around thinness, but I also think there is a part of the “girl dinner” thing that pushes back against ideas of female domesticity. Girl dinner is not something that married women with kids eat— it’s associated with a kind of freedom to do whatever the heck you want for dinner and not worry about making a balanced meal for anyone. I see it as a kind of celebration of laziness (in the best possible way) and independence.
