Big Question (Answered): “Hey girl… What’s Your Favorite Riff of the Ryan Gosling Memes?”
Jan 6th
Ryan Gosling is the focus so many memes lately… From well-educated preservationist to staunch feminist, from NPR junkie to Silicon Valley power player, these Tumblr memes have made us all giggle. Which is a good thing because we all need to laugh with a potential SOPA crisis on our hands. But, don’t worry, Ryan is all over that.

So far my favorite iteration of “Hey girl…” comes from a Tumblr that imagines Ryan is a crafter, or in love with one. HandmadeRyanGosling pokes gentle fun at crafters, and the folks who love them, as only a fellow crafter could.

Hey Girl, I Know You Think This Meme Thing is Just Temporary But I’m Not Going Away
Dec 23rd
Surely you saw the #OccupyWallStreet pepper-spraying cop Internet meme. And perhaps since then you’ve been inspired to create your own Internet meme. If so, then take a hint from the “Hey Girl” Ryan Gosling Internet meme, which features a picture of the actor alongside an intellectual pick-up line. It’s been going strong since December 2010, and it’s not disappearing anytime soon.
Ryan Gosling Feminist, one of the smarter iterations of this meme was created by Danielle Henderson, a graduate student in the University of Wisconsin Madison’s women and gender studies program. We asked her a few questions about her take on the popularity of “Hey Girl.” And just days after we did that, the Internet produced Museum Hey Girl, for the artier among us. Hey Girl Happy Hannukah appeared on December 20, the first day of the holiday.

The idea for RyanGoslingFeminist came about after lunch with a few new graduate school friends who hadn’t heard of the “Hey Girl” meme. Henderson decided to introduce them to it by creating a few flash cards based on the theory they were learning. The she posted them to Tumblr, and RyanGoslingFeminist was born. This was on a Friday evening. By that Saturday morning, Jezebel picked it up.
This is not at all the first celebrity-inspired Internet memes. LesbiansWhoLookLikeJustinBieber points to the secret that everyone fears blurting lest they appear homophobic – Justin Bieber is as androgynous as most boyish lesbians, and vice versa. And then there’s RappersDoingNormalShit, which makes the all-mighty rapper appear as mundane as your boring next-door neighbor.
These memes are never-ending virtual art shows curated by either one person or the collective Internet. Henderson wasn’t really thinking about that when she created FeministRyanGosling, which provides a feminist context to the blank slate that is the open-ended “Hey Girl” meme.
“I don’t really follow memes, and don’t think of what I’m doing as fitting into that category,” she tells us. “I’m still just posting flashcards for my friends, and could stop the whole thing tomorrow. I have no allegiance to this format. I’m just a nerd trying to get through the semester.”
Truth be told, she actually dislikes memes and the collective impact they’ve had on the Internet-at-large.
“It’s like in junior high when people would repeat the same joke over and over again until eventually it removed all joy and just filled you with contempt,” she says. “I think memes contribute to the community feeling everyone thinks the Internet should instill in us so that we don’t feel so bad about spending most of our free time communicating to a machine, but they mostly serve to remind me how unoriginal and boring we’ve become.”

Like the nice guy who won’t leave your side, Ryan Gosling hangs on till the bitter end – even when the meme he inspires makes us feel like completely unoriginal pop culture-obsessed media consumers. Henderson, for one, counts herself as one engaged in this love/hate relationship with memes. “I’m including myself here, of course,” she tells us, “as what I’m doing is totally derivative.”
Here’s a full list of the “Hey Girl” meme iterations that we’ve found.
- Hey Girl I’m A Serial Killer
- Librarian Hey Girl
- Ex-Boyfriend Ryan Gosling
- Feminist Ryan Gosling
- Ryan Gosling Disneyland Cats
- Typographer Ryan Gosling
- Fuck Yeah Ryan Gosling
- Museum Hey Girl
- FeministRyanGosling
- Hey Girl Shabbat Shalom

Girl Scouts Research Shows How Social Networking Impacts Girls’ Self Image
Nov 7th
The Girl Scouts Research Institute celebrated its tenth anniversary yesterday with the release of its latest study into the relationship between girls and social media. The findings are based on an online study with 1026 girls ages 14-17 who had social network profiles.
91% of the girls in the study said they used Facebook regularly, while only 28% said the same about MySpace. Demonstrating that teens do not eschew Twitter, 38% said they had a Twitter account, and averaged about 8 Tweets per day.

Nonetheless, the vast majority said they prefer face-to-face communication. And 92% said they would give up all of their social networking friends if it meant keeping their best friend.
Girls’ Self-Image, On- and Offline
The study also found that girls see a disparity between their online and their offline image. 74% of girls agreed with the statement that “most girls my age use social networking sites to make themselves look cooler than they really are.” And 41% admit that this describes themselves.
But many girls also indicated that they think they portray a more well-rounded image in person than they do online. In person, girls say they come across as smart (82%), fun (82%), funny, (90%), kind (76%), and cool (55%). But when they describe how they come across based solely on their online profiles, they describe themselves as fun (54%), funny (52%) and social (48%). These results suggest that girls downplay positive characteristics about themselves online, particularly their intelligence and their kindness.
And the study also found girls who have a low self-esteem are more likely to admit that their social networking image doesn’t match their offline image. Furthermore, girls with low self-esteem are more likely to claim the image they portray online is sexy (22%) and crazy (35%).
“Safe” Social Networking
Although the vast majority of girls say they’ve talked with their parents about how to be safe online (85%), 50% admit they aren’t as careful as they should be. And only 59% said they think they have complete control over what happens with the videos, photos and other information they post online.
Many girls said they’re concerned with how things they’ve posted online may hurt them in the future. 42% say they fear they won’t get into the college of their choice, 40% say they worry they might miss out on a job opportunity, and 40% fear they’ll get in trouble with parents or teachers based on their social networking posts.
Girls’ Online Reputation
68% of girls have had a “negative experience” on a social networking site, such as being bullied or harassed. And nearly half of the girls in the study – 46% – said they think that social networking actually damages their personal relationships, causing jealousy among friends. 40% said they’d lost respect for a friend because of something she or he had posted online.
But the news isn’t all bad. 56% said that social networking does help them feel more connected to their friends. And 52% say they’ve gotten involved in a cause they care about through a social network.
But overall, this research suggests that social networking does not necessarily boost girls’ confidence and self-image, and girls online are (often knowingly) taking risks – with their reputations and their self-esteem.
