The slang term "pick-me" refers to someone, usually a woman, who seeks validation by putting down others of the same gender in order to appeal to men. The phrase comes from the idea of saying or doing things with the hidden message: "Pick me instead of them." It became popular on Twitter and TikTok in the late 2010s, often used to call out behaviors like bragging about not being "like other girls" or rejecting feminist ideas to gain male approval. While it started mainly in online communities, the phrase has since entered mainstream slang as a way to criticize performative behavior done for attention or validation.
