She throws her dirty dishes in the trash. She sniffs her fingers after she scratches her butt. She bites the hair off her areolas. She is the Foul Bachelorette Frog, and for a few years in the mid-aughts, she served as a revolutionary window into the secret habits of womankind
She farts in the bubble bath. She uses her fingernail to scrape vaginal discharge from her thong. She pulls long strands of hair out of her butt crack with glee and only shaves the lower third of her calves. She gazes out at the world with red, glassy eyes, breaking her silence only to utter the occasional guttural croak.
Who is this genteel goddess of femininity? She’s Foul Bachelorette Frog, a vestige of late-aughts meme culture. Today, Foul Bachelorette Frog’s legacy has largely been lost to the swirling Xibalba that is Tumblr’s archives, but the amphibious meme remains a putrid oasis for a generation of women raised without the benefit of tell-all TikToks and period influencers. In fact, for many of us, she served as a sort of deranged North Star of secret feminine behavior, normalizing everything from throwing out dirty dishes instead of washing them to ripping out your nipple hair with your teeth.
