33. The term 'girlboss' is so untrendy, out of date. Swift would never use it now. I would call it cheugy, but cheugy itself

Here is an article from 3 and a half years ago:

The fall of the girlboss is actually a good thing

Jul 26, 2020, 3:17 PM CEST

https://www.businessinsider.com/rise-and-fall-girl-boss-analysis-2020-7

June 2020 was the month the girlboss facade collapsed. It began as a slow crumbling. In December, Steph Korey stepped down as CEO of cult-favorite luggage brand Away (she would go on to step back in a month later and resign a second time in July). In February, Tyler Hanley resigned as CEO from the millennial activewear company she founded, Outdoor Voices.



Come June, girlbosses began to fall like dominoes amid allegations of toxic work cultures that perpetuated racism:

June 8: Refinery 29 editor-in-chief and co-founder Christine Barberich resigns
June 10: Man Repeller founder Leandra Medine steps back to an intern role
June 10: Ban.Do Chief Creative Officer and cofounder Jen Gotch resigns after leave of absence
June 11: The Wing CEO and co-founder Audrey Gelman resigns
June 12: Reformation CEO and founder Yael Aflalo steps down

In the midst of it all, Sophia Amoruso — the pioneer of the term girlboss — resigned on June 22 from the #GirlBoss media platform she had created years earlier. But while the girlboss has met a swift and public downfall, that's actually a good thing — and it's not the end of the female leader. Instead, it's the beginning of a new space for more inclusive leaders to shine without being defined by gender. So, what exactly happened to the girlboss? To fully understand her rise and fall, you have to go back to 2014.
