? YAS! Sounds like a story about a kick-ass female entrepreneur who manages to make it big on the career ladder against all odds. A feminist’s dream. A real rags to riches story. Empowering. Inspiring. Weeeeeeell, not quite. And everyone has been calling it out.
The show is based on the life - and subsequent ‘femtrepeneur’ memoir - of Sophia Amoruso, the founder and owner of online fashion brand Nasty Gal. The portrayal of Sophia in the show is an exaggeration of her IRL story and persona.
In the show, Sophia Marlowe (standard change of name for the purpose of this on screen endeavour) starts off as a girl just trying to make a buck on eBay by selling clothes she finds in vintage stores and she’s actually alright. When she manages to sell her first jacket for a massive profit, you find yourself cheering for her. But as the show goes on, you actually low-key start caring less and less about her success and start worrying more and more about who she’s taking down to make it to the top.
Just A Girlboss Building Her Empire Meme
In short, Sophia is kind of a massive dick. She dumps on EVERRRYYOOONEEEE. Her best friend. Her “un-official” boyfriend. Her online competitors. She steals. She’s completely self-obsessed and even the character herself admits in one of the later episodes that she’s a “garbage person.”

Not *everyone* hates her of course, but apparently, according to Britt Robertson who plays Sophia, we’re actually MEANT to feel that way about her.
When asked about the backlash against her character, Robertson told Bustle: “I think that's sort of the point to the show, to be honest with you because she is [unlikable], it's a part of what the story is. She can't make her way in life because nobody understands her story or gets who she is. She's not a traditional female heroine. But, you know, I think it's all fair. You can feel however you want to feel about the character.
To be fair to Sophia, we’re all a bit sh*tty and self-centred at the age of 23. Dare I say it, but there’s probably a bit of Sophia in all of us. (Ew... lol)

Girlfailures or Girlfailure is a slang term referring to the opposite of a girlboss, simply defined as an absolute loser of a female character via a viral tweet sent in January 2023.

The term girlfailure was first referenced on Tumblr in 2021, then it surfaced on Instagram in mid-2022.
Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss is a parody of the phrase Live, Laugh, Love used in a variety of shitposts, that began on Tumblr in January 2021.

They Hate to See a Girlboss Winning is an internet catchphrase ironically decrying society's displeasure towards an assertive woman's success. It is the point at which Girlboss memes began to be self-aware, and used in a more ironic sense, sometimes mocking the supposed hustle and grind of females.
I Am A Girlboss I Am A War Criminal refers to a copypasta parodying self-affirming mantras by mixing comedically boastful affirmations with extremely negative ones.
