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.
