"Men always say that as the defining compliment, don’t they? She’s a cool girl......Cool Girls are above all hot. Hot and understanding. Cool Girls never get angry; they only smile in a chagrined, loving manner and let their men do whatever they want. Go ahead, shit on me, I don’t mind, I’m the Cool Girl........Because “I like strong women” is code for “I hate strong women.” " - Gone Girl, Gillian Flynn

One of the most honest, accurate and brilliant pieces of writing I have come across recently. The Cool Girl Trope; This hits much closer to home for me (and I believe for a lot of other girls) than a lot of other writing I can think of.
