> I don't understand why "I'm not like other girls" is criticized so much

Have you heard of the term "female misogynist"? This is why it's criticized. Basically, women are conditioned to believe that we're in competition with each other over male approval, and the "I'm not like other girls" thought process serves to undermine and belittle other women's interests and accomplishments.

Males have even more of an "I'm not like other guys" thought stream. They are as competitive trying to garner female approval or mate. It's a pretty natural evolutionary instinct while mating. Not conditioned at all. And seen in many other species.

It's just that nowadays it is a taboo for women to criticize other women or belittle them. An agenda driven censoring of your own feelings. It's natural for women to belittle each other. Its just social dynamics. Men tear each other to shreds without any social labelling.
