Academic research on Bimbofication: 

"Overall, there are two questions that have been discussed in this research. The first question explored the development of “bimbo” image as represented in media, and bimbofication’s attempt to reclaim and refine the term. It discussed the current definition of being a bimbo by analyzing

Chlapecka’s contents, which challenge the stereotype toward women who prioritize physical attributes over academic intelligence. Secondly, this research discussed the use of hyperfemininity as a tool to show one’s acceptance of their femininity.... 

By doing so, bimbofication strives to fight the stigma pressed on women to gain a sense of equality.

To conclude, this research finds that Chlapecka has notably challenged the “bimbo” stereotype and established a new meaning for the term as an empowering choice for expressing and embracing one’s identity. Through bimbofication, the initial pejorative meaning of the term “bimbo” has been reclaimed by promoting the qualities and attributes associated with the stigma as a valid form of self-expression. This process involves representing hyperfemininity traits, such as prioritizing physical appearance as well as expecting men’s adherence to traditional masculinity....

This study also offers insights regarding the complexity of gender identity and a broader understanding of empowerment. Further research should critically evaluate the inclusiveness and intersectionality of bimbofication to determine its effectiveness in promoting women’s empowerment."
