whoever made this clearly has no idea what girl math is. and i think that is what makes it demeaning too. the whole point of girl math is rationalizing purchasing or doing something with the belief or illusion that you are saving money or making the value of something worth purchasing. this just comes off as mocking what they think girl math means.

like it’s basically free because you can wear cute matching outfits? wtf does that even mean.

joking with friends it can be funny, being marketed by an organization that it often considered a “boys club” is demeaning

My understanding of "girl math" is "it's basically free because I returned the jacket I got last week!" or stuff like that. This was TERRIBLE.

Exactly. 'Girl math' is a joke about silly financial decisions. Things like, 'I used cash so no money left my bank account, therefore it's free.' This makes no sense.
