The idea, intertwined with feminism, that the promotion of "girly" features which have been considered formerly as weak and fragile are actually strong and resilient. These are traits to take pride in. Girlism stands for the strength of being girly, the lack of need to change girly personalities in order to be valid, brave, and feministic.
She exudes a kind of girlism that does not apologize for wearing a dress and instead basks in the effortless confidence being a young woman holds.

Girlish Tomboy 

A Girlish Tomboy is a girl who knows what she wants and how to play the game and still have a feminine touch.

She does things how, when, and where she pleases regardless of the opinions of either gender. The hallmark about her is that no matter what she's doing, there's always some note of feminine charm about her. It may be something as small as her wearing mascara and lip gloss, or even something as obvious as wearing skirts and dresses, but she always knows how to add her own personal twist of femininity to anything she does.
A Girlish Tomboy: She's a girl and a tomboy and she loves the combo.

endwarfins

The rush of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides triggered specifically by watching the Seven Dwarfs march home singing "Heigh-Ho" — that particular high of pickaxes, whistling while you work, and communal domestic bliss in a cottage built for men half your height.
I only meant to watch the Heigh-Ho scene for the endwarfins, and then it was two hours later and I'd watched the whole movie.

Endwarfins aren't just a Snow White thing — I get the same hit off the Lollipop Guild in Oz.
