Geri Halliwell declares end of ‘girl power’, calls for gender-inclusion as Spice Girls eye reunion

It’s the slogan that inspired a generation, but Geri Halliwell Horner has announced that ‘Girl Power’ is no longer relevant, proposing the term ‘Inner Power’ in the spirit of gender inclusion.

Speaking to young people at her latest children’s book launch, Geri, 52, said: “Girl Power was a sweet word for feminism. But if you look in the dictionary and see what feminism means, it means the ‘equalisation between the sexes’.

Therefore, to me it’s irrelevant what your gender is, I want everyone to feel their power, so let’s evolve that word from Girl Power to Inner Power.”

The former Spice Girl, who coined the phrase that became as iconic as her Union Jack dress, reflected on the group’s 30-year legacy and her original aim to “give feminism a kick up the *****.”

Mel C, 51, described Girl Power as “being able to do things just as well as – or even better than – the boys, and be what we want to be. It’s about spreading a positive vibe and kicking it for the girls. It’s not about picking up guys, we don’t need men to control our lives, we control our lives anyway.”

While millions of fans may be disappointed, Geri insists the message should be about celebrating everyone: “It’s meant to be inclusive and celebratory of who you are and what I feel like is important as well is that none of us are perfect, we’re all idiots at different times, we are.”

Geri, Emma Bunton, Mel B, and Mel C are reportedly planning a 30th anniversary reunion tour, though Victoria Beckham is not expected to join.

Meanwhile, Geri’s personal life has also made headlines, from her husband Christian Horner’s public controversies to the recent news that he has formally adopted her daughter Bluebell, 18.

Despite the challenges, Geri and Christian remain together, and Geri continues to support her family and career, recently appearing with Christian at the Miami F1 Grand Prix and celebrating her daughter’s academic achievements.
