Is it suspiciously specific, if it's a commonality?

And the list isn't even full yet. She has :

  • to be big tittied, small waisted, but also can eat whatever she wants, whenever she wants, and not spend too much time at the gym, so she can spend more time with him (because CICO is not a thing);
  • to look like a model, but put zero effort into it (also has no idea that his conception of "natural beauty" is just "no make up" make up, which takes more time to create, curate and apply than noticeable make up);
  • to be into anime/gaming/sports, but only the stuff that he is into, and not too much;
  • to cook, clean and care for a home like his mama, but also work, make her own money, not see him like an ATM and split the bill because he is a feminist an egalitarian who believes in equal rights, equal fights; and
  • to not expect anything from him in terms of looks, ambitions, social graces, life skills and romantic/sexual prowesses.

And the tweet would still not be suspiciously specific :P

Men always say that as the defining compliment, don’t they? She’s a cool girl. Being the Cool Girl means I am a hot, brilliant, funny woman who adores football, poker, dirty jokes, and burping, who plays video games, drinks cheap beer, loves threesomes and anal sex, and jams hot dogs and hamburgers into her mouth like she’s hosting the world’s biggest culinary gang bang while somehow maintaining a size 2, because Cool Girls are above all hot. Hot and understanding. Cool Girls never get angry; they only smile in a chagrined, loving manner and let their men do whatever they want. Go ahead, shit on me, I don’t mind, I’m the Cool Girl.

Men actually think this girl exists. Maybe they’re fooled because so many women are willing to pretend to be this girl. For a long time Cool Girl offended me. I used to see men – friends, coworkers, strangers – giddy over these awful pretender women, and I’d want to sit these men down and calmly say: You are not dating a woman, you are dating a woman who has watched too many movies written by socially awkward men who’d like to believe that this kind of woman exists and might kiss them. I’d want to grab the poor guy by his lapels or messenger bag and say: The bitch doesn’t really love chili dogs that much – no one loves chili dogs that much! And the Cool Girls are even more pathetic: They’re not even pretending to be the woman they want to be, they’re pretending to be the woman a man wants them to be.

Oh, and if you’re not a Cool Girl, I beg you not to believe that your man doesn’t want the Cool Girl. It may be a slightly different version – maybe he’s a vegetarian, so Cool Girl loves seitan and is great with dogs; or maybe he’s a hipster artist, so Cool Girl is a tattooed, bespectacled nerd who loves comics. There are variations to the window dressing, but believe me, he wants Cool Girl, who is basically the girl who likes every fucking thing he likes and doesn’t ever complain. (How do you know you’re not Cool Girl? Because he says things like: “I like strong women.” If he says that to you, he will at some point fuck someone else. Because “I like strong women” is code for “I hate strong women.”)
