Post‐structuralism language and gender studies concentrate on analysis of how gender is performed in individual practices, showing instances in which a speaker performs resisting, contesting, and subversive practices. It has been pointed out, however, that these subversive practices remain ephemeral and cannot transform the gendered power order. This paper analyzes three major types of metalinguistic comments concerning a subversive practice, the use of rough language and male personal pronouns by girls, and demonstrates that metalinguistic practice has the power and privilege to define, characterize, and marginalize individual practice, which may function to preserve, legitimate, and naturalize the existent linguistic gender ideologies. First, readers' letters to newspapers consistently criticize their usage defining it as deviation from the norm of "women's language." Second, academic discourse such as language textbooks and dictionaries completely ignore their usage as exception, maintaining the distinction between "women's language" and "men's language." Third, subculture discourse such as TV games adopt their usage in creating fictional girl characters, presenting it as a transitory practice of young girls, who will ultimately become heterosexual women. It is necessary for gender and language researchers to pay more attention to metalinguistic practice to reveal the ways subversive practices are suppressed and how they can invert gender asymmetry and heteronormativity.
