NOPE: TikTok’s Newest Obsession Is The ‘Untouchable Woman’ It Reeks Of Misogyny

Oooh boy. The “untouchable woman” is TikTok’s newest obsession, and it’s giving straight-up misogyny. I don’t know if you’ve noticed but it seems like the dating scene has been heavily influenced by what’s popping off on TikTok. From beige flags to triangle flirting methods, the hottest dating trends have all come from this source. One of the latest things to come out of this dreaded video app is the “untouchable woman”, and the way it’s being talked about by straight men on TikTok is so problematic. To give you a quick TL;DR on this heaping pile of BS: the “untouchable woman” can be described as someone who is wanted by everyone but no one can have. Someone who seemingly keeps to themselves and has their walls up, giving that mysterious vibe. Some people also relate it to gals who are a part of purity culture, AKA people who choose not to bone before marriage. And don’t get me wrong, I am not shaming people who have these personality traits or believe in abstinence, but I am shaming the straight men who put “untouchable women” on a pedestal while kicking everyone else down. There have been a lot of videos — that are super misogynistic, BTW — where men talk about untouchable women and how they’re “wifey vibes”. There was even this one tragic TikTok with text that said: “UNTOUCHABLE girls are the real FLEX. A girl that many want but can’t [sic] have… If she’s out here liking every guy’s photos, follows randoms and flirts with other dudes, that ain’t wifey vibes.” Like WTF? What in the fresh hell is this? There have been so many videos like this and it’s just sickening — not in a slay way, in an ick way. This obsession is giving boys the power to dictate what women should be doing to be more attractive, and it’s just so damaging. The trend is also point-blank slut shaming. Just because someone has a lot of male friends or is sexually active, it doesn’t mean they’re not giving your precious “wifey vibes”. The only good thing to come out of this trend is that men are outing themselves as red flags with these stupid AF videos. What an easy way to weed them out.
