"otome" is also the Japanese word for "maiden". Shit was gonna be confusing from day one.

It's like naming a fashion "girl":
>I like girl clothes
>I'm really into girly fashion
>Lolita is so girly
>To the lolita girls
>girly girls in lolita?
>what's the difference between girl and lolita?

Cherry on the cake is some Japanese shops are already trying to market girly kei as a style (I don't think it's quite the same as otome or lolita, but they're certainly using it as a buzzword to bring in customers)
