Here we have a micro-blog dedicated to talking about "white girl problems" in society. It is a parody-style blog that critiques issues that are commonly associated with "white girls" in American society. For example, recent #whitegirlproblem tweets include...
To explain the significance, #hashtags on Twitter are the latest way to "trend" and connect with others who are speaking on the same topic. This trend is just one example of how social media and online culture connects girls from all different areas to state their complaints and issues with a certain aspect of life. Although many of these 'problems' are stereotypical 'women's issues' these are often some of the most "re-tweeted" posts. Girls often 'tweet' their own #girlproblems as a way to connect with other girls who are facing similar problems. This creates a culture where girls can find a sympathetic ear of another girl who can relate to the girl's problem or respond with positive advice. This tweeting trend has also lead to similar problems including all types of #_______girlproblems. Just proving that girls will find ways to connect and unite together, even if it involves complain together at the same time.
