Bimbofication: What Is It and Why It’s Trending? – Gnvlog

 TikTok has recently seen an upsurge in “bimbo culture,” but not as you might imagine.

“Bimbo” has traditionally been seen as an offensive term describing sexualized, attractive women that are relatively uneducated or naive, such as Cher from Clueless or Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie from A Simple Life. Even legally Blonde was intended to highlight Elle Wood’s academic success despite her image as a bimbo.

What is Bimbofication?

But the current wave of radical feminism has sought to redefine bimboism as simply meaning a woman who prioritizes kindness and happiness for herself and others. Arielle Richards wrote in Vice that “Bimboism says you don’t have to be unintelligent in order to choose happiness — all it takes is focusing on things that actually matter — like community involvement, setting an example and supporting other women,” which has continued to develop over the last year.

Bimbofication refers to the idea that our thirst for knowledge as teenagers and young women can become too heavy a load, and that living a more mindful existence free from having to prove oneself intellectually before (primarily male) audiences may be more fulfilling than striving to impress them intellectually. While it may sound counterintuitive, it’s actually an incredibly pragmatic response to our world today; no matter how hard one works there will still be discrimination and income disparity regardless.

Modern bimboism has little to do with intelligence or lack thereof; rather it involves making conscious choices to invest more directly in things that improve quality of life – things such as friendship and self love. Being female in academia or simply “smart women” can quickly turn into an uphill battle in terms of recognition or raising your standards to match that of male counterparts.

Bimbofication doesn’t automatically indicate intellectual inferiority – far from it! Instead, these women possess considerable intelligence; yet some may veer toward bimbofication for different reasons. Realizing your intelligence may not always be worth sharing requires both self-knowledge and awareness of oneself and of the outside world; at times it might simply not be worth making everyone aware.

Weaponized unintelligence is nothing new; bimbos and gold diggers of old practiced it to great success. While it often stems from pretty privilege, sometimes it can simply be easier for others to think that no one’s home when there actually are people here – this gives you an advantage to take advantage of opportunities no one considers competition anyway – this means less work for you!

After dropping out of college and being seen no longer as intellectual or academic by peers and coworkers, this has become my personal reality. No longer am I concerned with competing to be seen as the smartest in any given room; no one’s going to listen anyway so why bother competing against everyone else for attention or respect?

No need to fret; bimbos have already given this some thought! Their philosophy suggests that it may be best just to let other people see you as inferior instead of fighting or trying to prove yourself. What was once perceived as bimboism has evolved into more of a lifestyle choice; no longer do bimbos care how other people see them, given they realize they don’t have control over it anyway; ultimately feeling secure within yourself is much more valuable than being affected by what others think of you.

Bimbofication Modern feminism 

Modern feminism offers a direct answer to “girlboss” ideals that have emerged over the past decade – which aligned white women with white men in terms of capitalist and patriarchal society standards – namely by encouraging them to strive towards financial independence at any cost and become “girlbosses.” Girlbosses were encouraged to be as aggressive in climbing corporate ladders as their male counterparts while simultaneously being taught that financial independence is key for full liberation.

Girlboss feminism focused on career goals and financial security rather than traditional “feminine” pursuits such as physical beauty or motherhood. It encouraged women to think and behave more like men – toxcitity included! – in order to take advantage of patriarchy; thus the name girlboss.

As much as I could discuss the undercurrents of girlboss culture, it’s clear to see that it only ever represented an option for white women with privilege and education who were already wealthy enough. Luckily, bimbo philosophy doesn’t bind itself exclusively to any specific look or lifestyle choice.

Attractive women and intelligent women are often perceived to be mutually exclusive. This perception arises due to our contemporary understanding of what constitutes a bimbo — most people won’t assume you’re intelligent just because your hair has bleached blonde highlights or you have cosmetic surgery done, or are otherwise conventionally attractive. Bimboism shifts this focus onto doing whatever makes us feel good physically, mentally, socially or sexually and if anyone conflates intelligence with liking traditionally feminine things and doing things which make us feel good then that becomes their problem and not yours.

New-age Bimbo Advocates

The new-age bimbo advocates self love and radical empathy as an act of resistance against society’s weight. Sometimes the weight can get to us, so getting back to basics may help. Bimboism entails loving yourself unapologetically and unconditionally while caring for those around you and standing up for what’s right – never allowing anyone’s perceptions define who you are as an individual.

Bimbos can teach us something, and for me that’s that the way the world perceives me has no bearing on who I know to be true for myself. A mindful life full of things that bring me genuine happiness has brought more peace than fighting to gain access to a society designed without women in mind.

By reclaiming the word bimbo, we are teaching ourselves that there is no wrong way to be a woman. From academic careers and career goals to being stay at home moms or having plastic surgery done; how the world views women is also changing as our perceptions do of ourselves.

Bimbofication for All

Bimbo no longer describes just white, blonde-haired heterosexual females; rather it refers to an inclusive mindset accessible to all bimbos, himbos and thembos. TikTok user Griffin Maxwell Brooks @griffinmaxwellbrooks states “The term bxmbo is inclusive; there is no gender, class or race requirement; the only prerequisite for becoming one is accepting yourself in order to reclaim and own your body in pursuit of independence”.

Bimbos encompass people of all sexual orientations, body types, races and genders; no discrimination exists when it comes to bimbofication – this allows community building as well as self-love to flourish freely and embraces all members equally.

Bimbofication Is Beautiful

Bimboism differs from #GirlBoss culture by no longer needing external validation for your intellect, nor chasing after corporate ladders built upon misogyny and racism. According to @Fauxrich’s definition of bimboism: it “isn’t about rebelling against intelligence; rather it is an act against academia which can often be too elitist and classist. A modern bimbo is socially aware and understands the effects of racism, sexism, and classism.”

Modern bimboism is about radical acceptance and cultivating a supportive community for individuals tired of having to prove themselves to misogynist people. Their motto: why prove yourself when you can freely love yourself without shame?

Contrary to expectations, Gen Z Bimbos have taken ownership of what was once used by heterosexual cis-gender men as an offensive term to degrade women based solely on appearance while undermining her worth, values, and intellect. Generation Z knows their worth and refuses to let patriarchy determine it for them.
