“The patriarchy’s over, you can hold our beer!” Mulvaney chants at one point about halfway through the video.
Mulvaney then uses a pink water gun to shoot at unlabelled cans of beer on a table, appearing to mock Kid Rock’s infamous Bud Light protest.
Social-media commentators condemned the video and accused the trans influencer of making a mockery of what it means to be a woman.
“The most offensive thing about Dylan Mulvaney is its obsession with girlhood. You have never experienced being a girl. You will never be a girl. You are a mentally ill man. Stop making a mockery of girlhood, you perverse weasel,” Portland-based writer and former Democratic congressional candidate Heidi Briones said, according to Fox News.

“Dylan Mulvaney once again proves his entire career is built on mocking women with the release of his debut music video Days of Girlhood,” de-transitioned social-media commentator Oli London added.
“Dylan Mulvaney’s song features bubble baths, one-night stands and prescription pills. Nothing about contributing to the world in a meaningful way, like real women do. If you’re going to pretend to be a woman, at least pretend to be a good one,” Independent Women’s Forum fellow Angela Morabito said.
The influencer’s partnership with Anheuser-Busch for a social-media campaign created immediate and long-lasting headaches for the company, which makes and sells Bud Light.
Conservatives and beer loyalists felt the classic American brand was abandoning its customer base in favour of far-left identity politics and sales plummeted.
