Why Are Women Pretending to Be Men on LinkedIn?

Victoria here, Girlboss’ executive editor. 👋

Did you see the news about Monster’s new “female-forward” energy drink line, FLRT? It promises to “be as vibrant, fearless, and fun as the women who drink it.” Some people love the idea (the packaging is cute), and some people call it another tired example of gendered marketing. One thing’s for sure… Monster must have called in the same product team that came up with Bic for Women. 🤪

Other stuff the Girlboss team is yapping about on Slack:

• Verizon is planning on laying off 13,000 workers. Happy Thanksgiving? Not…

• POV: You’re a young woman celebrating academic success.

• This is your sign to book that beach trip. Your nervous system will thank you. Save up to 25% during The Hilton Sale. Book by December 15th, and stay through April 6th, 2026.*
