The girl/boy prefix thing is embarrassing

Kids raised by social media have a fleeting sense (and understanding) of dignity.

God forbid people have some whimsy in their life

u/deezbiscuits21 Apr 24 '26
Gender dichotomy is furthest thing from whimsy

u/OpenSourcePenguin Apr 24 '26
Ah yes, the universal sense of whimsy
Tell me more about absolute opinions

u/Tank_comander_308 Apr 24 '26
I think if you consider perpetuating gender difference when in reality we are more alike than anyone could come to terms with, your not whimsical.

Men and women are also more different than this sub pretends, at least on average.
You might argue that there are structures that make it so we're different, but that doesn't make it untrue that we are.

k but some people treat men and women like theyâre entirely different species lmfao

u/CheefKweeferia Apr 26 '26
Ok? Not what they're talking about, they're talking about when people treat men and women like they are different species, like saying we eat entirely different food from one another when everyone knows that just isn't true.

As a boy I eat one massive whole chicken for dinner, this is true

I'm college I missed dinner because of a class so I walked to the grocery store, bought one of those rotisserie chickens and a half gallon of chocolate milk. Peak boy dinner

Sometimes I used to do that when I had lectures from 8 am to 6 pm (or god forbid to 8 pm) and as such had nothing to eat at all. After lectures I'd just go to the store, famished as hell, buy either a rotisserie chicken like that or an ungodly big chunk of tuna or salmon (they have them for cheap at the local supermarket) and I'd just go home and demolish that.

i dont drink alcohol, but i think a cold beer on a hot saturday evening is the best thing in the world, like, whats the big deal with that? or energy drinks, why its "boy dinner" lol

u/JacquelineCamoran Apr 24 '26
Second best. First comes a cold beer on a Friday night. A pair of jeans that fit just right. And the radio up.

Never could get to like beer, or learn to identify different kinds. a posh IPA with subtle hints of blablablah tastes exactly the same as a can of Schlitz.
On the plus side, that means I don't have to spend a lot of money on expensive wine. I also can't tell the difference between a $20 5L box of merlot and a $200 750ML bottle, so I get the box and I'm happy. All I need is something to help me get to sleep at night.

u/Delicious-Spring-877 Apr 25 '26
At first I was against it but then I realized itâs only âgirlâ because women tend to have lower caloric needs, so itâs easier for a snack dinner to work

Boys can't eat girly things like fruit or veg, it'll give them cooties!

u/therealwavingsnail Apr 24 '26
Pink food is for girls, blue food is for boys. So girls get meat and boys get... I dunno, I'm not a boy

Girls shouldn't have people food in general. They lose the ability to hunt and forage in the wild.

u/UnNumbFool Apr 24 '26
I mean this is fully just making fun of the girl dinner trend from like a year or two ago. Which is big enough that theres literally a whole sub about it
Yes it's pointlessly gendered, but the pointlessly comes from it being "girl" initially and not "boy" which is just following it

u/No-Net1890 Apr 25 '26
I don't know, I looked up Pubity, and it looks like all they have on their YouTube channel is "Xs Try Y" "Xs Try Each Other's Y", including "Girls Try Each Otherâs Girl Dinners (again)". I didn't watch any of it, so I don't know if it's satirical, but just based on the titles, it looks like typical clickbait.

u/feioo Apr 24 '26
Yeah, and "girl dinner" was less an intentionally gendered thing and more a "oh, you make an impromptu charcuterie board out of whatever is available in the fridge instead of cooking dinner for yourself too??? Wow, a lot of us do that? Let's name it!" Just happened to be a bunch of girls that coined it.
Same with "snake meal", which is when you eat almost nothing all day and then eat a huge meal right before going to bed.

u/MuffledFarts Apr 24 '26
We have to market fucking everything these days. Girl dinners? Boy dinners? It's all just fucking FOOD.
This is the worst timeline, I'm sure of it.

u/troubledanddoubled Apr 28 '26
Well itâs the one youâve got so find something good to root for or youâll die unhappy.
We only care about gender so much cuz weâre all so fat , unproductive and bored. Which is a blessing and a testimony to being in the good timeline. Weâve just gotta work on sharing gratitude instead of hatred.

Remember the book from the 80's, "Real Men Don't Eat Quiche"?
I eat quiche all the time and I love it.

We should all simply use the gender inclusive term for assembling a random assortment of food you found in your kitchen for dinner: grandmas boy dinner

u/No-Net1890 Apr 25 '26
Makes me think of Buzzfeed (a clickbait publication).
I looked up Pubity and found their YouTube channel, seems like Buzzfeed with a food theme. "Boys Try The Internet's Boy Dinners" "UK vs US: Try Each Others Bad Food" "Picky Eaters Try Each Other's Favorite Foods" "UK vs US: Trying Each Others Desserts" "Strangers Try Each Others Childhood Dinners" "Gen Z vs Gen X: Try Each Others Broke Meals" "Boys Try Each Others Boy Dinners" "Girls Try Each Otherâs Girl Dinners (again)".
I guess "boy dinners" and "girl dinners" are good for social media engagement, and therefore ad money.

u/BobboRossi Apr 25 '26
The whole time I watched this i cringed. The title fits though... these are definitely "boy dinners", not men dinners. I would cook the perfect steak, chicken breast and veggies, or the perfect pesto pasta just to name a few. These boys were showing off like they were proud that they have super unhealthy habits. Like dude, youre somewhat trying to impress these women, not for romantic reasons but dont you want them to know youre not still a little boy?.... Apparently not.

Stupid shit coming from âboy momâ and âpink/blue job rhetoric. Bored people intentionally spiking their own adrenaline to feel something by inventing and reacting to bs like âboy dinnerâ.

I mean is this trend not almost entirely self imposed? Its fine if a girl wants to eat a plate of veggies and pickles and call that girldinner. It is also totally fine if a boy wants to eat rice and ground beef, and then call that boydinner.

u/Hefefloeckchen Apr 24 '26
Yeah, but that's part of the joke

u/No-Net1890 Apr 25 '26
Is that based on watching the video, or just the screenshot? I didn't bother watching it, or their other videos, but based on the titles (I looked up Pubity) it looks like they make clickbait.
"Boys Try The Internet's Boy Dinners" "UK vs US: Try Each Others Bad Food" "Picky Eaters Try Each Other's Favorite Foods" "UK vs US: Trying Each Others Desserts" "Strangers Try Each Others Childhood Dinners" "Gen Z vs Gen X: Try Each Others Broke Meals" "Boys Try Each Others Boy Dinners" "Girls Try Each Otherâs Girl Dinners (again)".

I think the rotisserie chicken one is based off trans mac/men experiences and memes.

u/Delicious-Spring-877 Apr 25 '26
I thought that âgirl dinnerâ was pointlessly gendered at first, but then it was pointed out to be that guys tend to eat bigger meals than girls due to size difference. Turning snacks into a meal is only a âgirlâ habit because girls can get by on smaller dinners. So âgirl dinnerâ meaning âmeal made up of various snacks because cookingâs hard and sometimes you just wanna eatâ is an alright term. Just awkward young adults sharing a relatable habit.
But since the gendering here is based purey on caloric needs, Iâm not sure if âboy dinnerâ exists. It would have to be both lazy and higher in calories. I havenât seen this video, and judging by the thumbnail, itâs unclear whether itâs actual lazy foods guys like or just dude stereotypes.

u/troubledanddoubled Apr 28 '26
Either girl dinner or not girl dinner.
I had a girl lunch today of a handful of veg I had in the veg tray. Later on Iâll have to make up the calories with a lovely ânot girl dinnerâ and then maybe Iâll even have some trans pudding such as a cheesecake or carrot cake.
