The final thing to consider is the type of jobs people are listing as “lazy girl jobs” and, in conjunction with this, the use of the word “girl.” Look, I know – everything is branded as “girl” nowadays. Girl dinner, girl maths, girly girl, girlies…don’t even get me started. But still, the use of the word makes the term incredibly gendered and when people start applying it to positions like administrative assistant, we’re reinforcing the idea that the jobs that are often performed by women in offices are small and inconsequential. And I’ve been an administration assistant at a number of businesses, and can tell you that there are offices that would collapse if there wasn’t someone quietly working behind the scenes to keep the day-to-day operations running.
