If you’ve been watching Love Island on ITV2, one of the subjects that’s featured heavily this series is ‘girl code’.BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour
“I think it starts from when you’re in secondary school and you’re just starting to date. Especially for me, I went to an all-girls school so the boys that you could go for were limited. So of course you would have ‘girl code’ like ‘you can’t go out with my ex’, but inevitably people would.” “It’s quite an empty word. I would say ‘girl code’ is mostly about pitting women against other women. It focuses normally on heteronormative dating and it’s usually ideas like don’t steal your friend’s man or don’t chat-up someone your friend is talking to and don’t date your friend’s ex. It’s very limited and narrow which is sad. There is so much potential with a phrase like ‘girl code’ – it just hasn’t realised it yet.”“I think girl code is silly in most cases,” argues Ellen Scott.
“It’s very possessive. It’s about saying, ‘I’ve dated this man or I like this man so he’s off limits, he’s mine’.”
