* ReallyGetsAround: Nikki.
* RealWomenNeverWearDresses: In-universe in ''Airhead''. So the main character is anti-materialistic? OK. But she and her mother loathe femininity so much that they insist on her little sister not trying to be a cheerleader because they think ''cheerleading degrades women.'' Em hates on model Nikki Howard (without knowing anything about her!) simply because Nikki advertizes a cosmetics brand. All of the other girls in Em's class are shallow, slutty, and AlphaBitch-y. She describes popular girls as "The Walking Dead". The only girly girl in the series portrayed in a nice light is Lulu, and even she is supposed to be dumb, but goodhearted.
** To be fair, Em gradually starts to change her mind on this as the books progress. And near the end of the series she calls her mother out on the fact that she is such a StrawFeminist that she does not even tell her daughters that they look pretty. Her mother seems to learn from this.
