Somewhat related: The way men and women describe themselves on OKCupid [0]. Career/education is more a part of men's "character" than it is for women (or it appears this way).

True, the girls are marketing themselves as 'girly' or 'sassy' - this is against the ideals of feminism is it not?

Girls being compelled to do so by external expectations of their gender is against the ideals of feminism.

Girls choosing to do so because that's how they prefer to see themselves and the image they like to project is not, or at least, the idea that it is would likely be controversial among self-described feminists.
