Please Meet The Newest Phrase You Hate

So this is the big story for ladies today:

Observer story (via lindsayism )

If you don't feel like clicking (I know, it's hard, you had a LONG DAY), the story is that there is a female equivalent of Metrosexuals, and they wear jeans and are dubbed "Urbane Tomboys."

And everyone's analyzing it in a very intelligent fashion, but my big problem with it is : seriously, URBANE TOMBOYS? As in like, a play on Urban Cowboy? Really? Am I wrong. Is that really it? I mean, it's so COMPLICATED. It's such a stretch.

Judging by the fact that that is the name they picked, here are some other movie-based names they must have passed up:

There Will Be Ladies In Sweatshirts
The Unbearable Dykeness Of Straight Girls
No Dresses For Reasonably Atractive Women

Also, isn't the phenomenon they are talking about just "most women?"

Sorry, I can't finish this post, I have to go have a boxing match with my girlfriends while we wear our Marc Jacobs T Shirts and not be gay. Or something. I'm so confused and cold! Hold me!
