What does "gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss" mean in internet slang?
The structure is a three-part rhyming phrase often used as a meme, listing the verbs "gaslight" (to manipulate someone into doubting their reality), "gatekeep" (to control who has access to something), and "girlboss" (a term for an ambitious, successful woman, originally positive but later satirical). It is used both seriously and ironically to describe a certain type of modern online persona, particularly one associated with hustle culture, influencer feminism, or toxic self-help advice.
