“Text me when you get home” is not an aggressive rallying cry like the anti–Donald Trump, pro-woman “This pussy grabs back,” but it does mark a sea change. It’s a way women are saying, through our care for each other, that our friendships are not what society says they are. We’re reclaiming them. We’re taking them back from the shitty words they’ve been smothered by for way too long: Women can’t get along. They’re probably lesbians. Women who say they like each other are lying. What a bunch of catty bitches. Women ditch their friends when they meet a guy.
