Himstrel show

The himstrel show, also called himstrelsy, is a form of misogynistic entertainment popularized in the early 21st century by sexists like the American actor who became an online sensation in 2022-23 by posting a series of videos on TikTok called "Days of Girlhood."

Himstrel shows consist of men dressing and dolling themselves up in womanface to make themselves look like carictures of the opposite sex and then acting out the most insulting, degrading and dehumanizing sexist stereotypes about women and girls imaginable in video footage, photographs, on stage and in real life.

Himstrel shows performed by men who do womanface stereotype humans who are female as dim-witted, ditzy, foolish, shallow, superficial, klutzy, childlike, extremely vain, preening, squealing, giggling, vapid, unserious, irresponsible, spendthrift, overly-emotional, irrational and histrionic.

Himstrel show performers also body-shame women and girls by making fun of, and/or experssing disgust about, female bodily processes such as menstruation - and by making light of what human pregnancy, childbirth and motherhood entail and require of women.

One prominent himstrel show actor calls the body part from which female people menstruate and give birth a "Barbie pocket" and "Barbie pouch," and the organs from which women feed and immunize babies "gal pals." This actor also goes around in public in womanface offering tampons to random female strangers.

Himani

If you ever meet a Himani you better keep her. She is one of those girls that you meet and you just can't help but go say hi. She will comfort you when your down and will make you laugh your heart out with her jokes. She is one of the most beautiful friends you have ever made and you are so glad that you got to have many memories with her. She will always be by your side, and even if you aren't in her friend group, she will always try to make sure you're included in the fun. She can be crazy sometimes but she is incredibly focused on her education and is even gifted with the violin. Obviously, she doesn't let boys distract her from her goals but she has had her fair share of crushes. If you ever meet a Himani, become her friend, she is one of a kind.

Himbo

A dumb or naive man, who, despite looking like an asshole Chad, is actually sweet, respectful, and kind. Typically large, beefy, and relatively handsome, but friendly. Gentle giants, if you will. Perhaps the best example of a himbo is Kronk, from The Emperor’s New Groove. He is large, strong, and stupid, but extremely kind and respectful to everyone. He is also incredibly innocent and unaware of many events happening around him, as most himbos are.
Emily: l’m going through a breakup right now, sorry I’m so emotional. I just really need someone to talk to.
Amelia: You should go to Steve. He really helped when John cheated on me.

Emily: Steve? Ugh, he’s such a himbo.
Amelia: My point exactly.
