For a certain breed of millennial like me, Tina Fey’s “Mean Girls” was gospel — a movie turned cultural phenomenon that put names and labels to the kind of bullying that any woman who’d been to middle or high school would recognize.
For a long time, researchers just thought girls didn’t bully as much as boys.
Then in the early aughts, a handful of books brought the concept of girls’ “relational aggression” into the mainstream.
But much has changed in the 20 years since the original “Mean Girls" movie came out.
So when Ms. Fey returned last month with her musical movie “Mean Girls” — her latest twist on the original, starring Reneé Rapp — it was inevitable there would be some changes.
