What We Think

'Girls In Pants' is more of a moderate entry in the world of modern YA. Yes, it upholds female-centric, empowerment themes, but it’s not a full-on woke manifesto, just a feel-good, identity-forward summer read with a dash of progressive spice.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The book's focus remains on friendship and coming-of-age, but does highlight identity, female experiences, self-discovery, and empowerment, at the forefront. There’s some prioritization of themes common in YA fiction over traditional plot-driven storytelling, but the narrative itself isn’t solely subverted by ideology, and characters face realistic struggles.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family and responsibility do play a role, though the book often centers personal growth, challenging gender expectations, and self-empowerment. It's not aggressive in undermining cultural traditions, but leans into modern interpretations of what women 'should' want and be.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

There are hardly alternative viewpoints represented. The narrative stays close to a particular worldview, female self-empowerment and support. Dissenting traditional perspectives aren't deeply explored, but outright villainization of alternatives is avoided. Characters’ debates are more interpersonal than ideological.
