Translation pls? What is vamped? What is a flapper (girl)? What is snuggle pupping? What is a petting party?

"Girls like to be called snuggle-puppies," one school administrator told the reporter. "They grant the boys liberties. Encourage them to take them and if the young chaps do not, they are called 'sissies', 'poor boobs' or 'flat tire.' "

"Speaking to 1,500 students at Wellesley College in 1921, Mrs. Augustus Trowbridge — the wife of a Princeton professor — railed against "the vulgarity and revolting badness of petting parties." She said that the loose-moraled gatherings — along with jazz music, unchaperoned dancing and lipstick — were symptomatic of a decadent society

I'm thankful that this slippery slope actually came to fruition. Unfortunately, while we aren't as lonely because of repressive culture, we are still lonely. Probably has to do with capitalism. That's the real "revolting badness" that's "symptomatic of a decadent society." Starving children and mega-yachts, not flappers and petting parties.

Boys [seduced] by [20s version of e-girls], parents cry.


Girls blamed for [hand stuff/2nd base] and [parties where hand stuff was done in a group setting but only with one partner] nowadays.

I don't think it's fair to compare flappers to egirls. Flappers were a social movement pushing for gender equality! The stereotypical egirl feeds on the attention of men and flappers were notably independent women

E-Girls aren't what you might think what they are:

Vamped in this context means "seduced by", although the term vamp is also what more daring flappers would be called. Vamps we're basically flappers who dressed more erotically and gave even less of a fuck about being seen drinking and smoking than the flappers did.

Welcome to femcel memes. A place where anybody can post memes that fit the vibe.

Warning: We have a tendency to post things that may at times come from a self-deprecating perspective or things that are funny coming from another queer person. This space will always be a safe place for transfems, non-binary people, people with a feminine gender expression (GNC or otherwise) or anybody else in the LGBT Community to come together and share about our experiences but we truly feel that laughing about the sometimes silly and embarrassing parts the queer experience can help bring us together. We never mean offense or harm in anything posted but rather they are satirical takes coming from queer people.

A note about 'Egging': Our community is mostly made up of transfem individuals, and as such most memes posted will be posted with the intention of having a transfem perspective. However, regardless of gender identity, all feminine presenting individuals are welcome here. Whether that means you're NB, GNC, transmasc, or any other identity, you are welcome here. It is not our intention or goal to invalidate these identities. If something makes you uncomfortable, please feel free to report the post and I will address your concerns on an individual level. For more information regarding the problems with 'Egg-culture', please see Here.

Love Y'all and thank you for following this community
