I heard the teacher I work under yell "girl power" at a female student for lifting something heavy that normally only the guys help with and I'm like... Really? Like it's special when a female has enough upper body strength for simple manual labor, really? GTFO.
Me too... Quit spreading the belief that it's special for a woman to be able to do such simple tasks... I thought we were trying to be seen as equals, dammit.
I get annoyed when I hear, "You go girl." IIN?

Yes I hear this kind of thing all the time at work.
A woman lifts 2 plastic chairs or helps move a piece of furniture. "Yeah, girl power!" "You go girl"
Why?
They're not competing in the Olympics, they're are just moving a lightweight desk from IKEA.
It's inane. It's stupid. I want them to just stop it.
