      I’ve heard of girl push-ups, but not girl math. That implies there are girl versions of everything.

      What else have them girls been hiding from us? This goes all the way to the top.

      Yes, and i think yyou should elaborate on why it is defeatist and why it makes the speaker look bad. Obviously I could fill in the blanks, but I am interested in your opinion, as you’re the one who brought it up.

        “A defeatist is someone who resigns themselves to failure without trying.” I’m thinking mostly about people in my personal life. Specifically one who has done things like put entire vacations on credit cards. Then used the justification of “girl math” because the experience NOW is worth what they will pay in interest. Instead of waiting until its financially viable because they’ll “never be able to afford it otherwise”. I have other examples but I’ll use that as my primary.

      Commonly used by who? It can’t be that common, because it seems like most people have never heard of it.

      This is not in common use. This sounds like some Incel thing.
