30 Times Women Celebrated Their Wins, Big Or Small, Iconic Or Ironic, And Shared Them On This Page (New Pics)
Humans have been around on this Earth for a while now and throughout our existence there was always a hierarchy in communities. Someone was the leader and someone was at the bottom of the pyramid.
It’s natural that people have their own role in a society but what is not normal is when those roles are forced upon us based on race, sex, religion or sexual orientation instead of looking at the person’s merits.
While some put down others for being born the way they were, others will try to highlight what is good about them and how strong they are. There is a Twitter and Instagram account that is solely dedicated to women sharing their wins of the day or of their lives. To celebrate the 8th of March, which is International Women’s Day, let us look at those wins and share our own in the comments!

The need bigger sticks though, with spikes in 'em.

Ma bitches. Now that's community taking care of each other. And honestly, what piece of garbage abuser will admit they got their ass beat by a bunch of girls? Their poor egos would suffer too much to press charges
In a country that is rampant with female abuse these women are definitely heroines. The police and women's rights are almost non existent .
The account Women Posting W's has 823k followers on Twitter and over 7k followers on Instagram. It all started when the woman behind the accounts saw another Twitter account that irked her nerves.
Last year she told Bored Panda, “there's this Twitter account that is awful and misogynistic, @womenpostingls, that posts just tweets and stories of women just existing really as an 'L.'” So she thought that there needs to be a positive space for women to celebrate their lives, and that is how she created a page where women shared their ‘W’s, a.k.a. wins.
Is it possible to upvote more than once? We often meet so many people that we connect with, but lose touch with them after that moment. What of we find out soulmates in those small moments? Our best friends? Life is weird, and it feels so nice to see at least some of these people are reunited in their later lives. So happy for these gorgeous ladies!
My first friend, when I was 5, was a little Black girl named Candice. My mom talks about how we were best friends and it was her first time really meeting Black people. I always wonder what happened to her. I wonder if I have photos somewhere.
It seems that the internet really lacked such a space and women really wanted someone to acknowledge their daily or lifetime accomplishments, because the numbers say it all.
It has been a little bit over 2 years since the account was created and it already has a huge following on Twitter, slowly and surely nearing a million followers. And all it took was for the account user to share various posts by other women who posted something about what they are happy about or proud of and just celebrate women as individuals.
Because common folk like me don’t understand anything about black holes and has never heard of a petabyte.

I will comment...and now I have commented!😝
Load More Replies...I have 3 hard drives, each of them 18 terabytes. Neither of them are filled. I can't even wrap my head around this....
I'm always straight gobsmacked seeing people doing these kinds of calculations, formulae, etc. for months or even years. I barely understood calculus and passed the class by 5 points. The fact people do this day in and day out is awe inspiring, especially given the fact that a lot of these geniuses enjoy it. I feel so insignificant right now.
You Need to leave now. You came to this page for the sole purpose to be negative and spiteful. If you can't show anything regarding a positive emotion towards women, you need to shut up and leave. And realize you are hilariously outnumbered here.
Load More Replies...Well done!! You are an inspiration to all who want to be a published writer! All hail, dear lady!!
It's sort of sad we have to celebrate this as a win. It should be the norm, dammit.
Even if it was normal I'd still say celebrate. Nothing wrong with celebrating an abuser being locked away.
Load More Replies...Bc a lot of people being abused can have hope in it. Bc, as a decent human being, it's okay to have empathy and be glad for someone who overcame an obstacle.
Load More Replies...And today is a very appropriate time to do that as March 8th is International Women’s day, as it was announced a holiday for the very purpose of commemorating the cultural, political and socioeconomic achievements of women.
March 8th was declared an international holiday in 1975 by the UN and every year they celebrate it by centering on a particular theme or issue regarding women. This year the theme is “Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow.”
Almost the reverse for me, I found out my daughter was sexually active because she went on her own to get birth control and they had to perform a pregnancy test first which I got the bill for. When she saw it she panicked, because she thought I would be mad. I wasn't, I told her I was proud of her for taking care of herself. She asked me never to tell her mother and I did not, she also asked me to go to the doctors office when she got her first shot and I absolutely did. She is such a great kid and just finished her engineering degree.
Wait...does nobody else find it weird that this parent is posting on social media about her daughter's sex life?
Yes, I find it weird. Maybe it's a small private group?
Load More Replies...*DISCUSS birth control. Don't just force her to be on the pill when there is a choice. We have more than one option and it's not just on the daughter to not get pregnant (I wish someone told me this as a teen!). Other than that; great mom! Of course teenagers will have sex, let's take a chance to make it as healthy as possible.
Pretty sure "birth control" doesn't automatically mean "taking a pill every day" anymore. And hasn't in a couple decades at least
Load More Replies...Wether you want it or not, teenagers are going to have sex, parents that don't understand this confuse me. When my daughter was 15, she had her first "serious" boyfriend so I asked her if she wanted to be on birth control, I said wether she is active or not is none of my business, but better be safe than sorry.
My mom got me on the pill not too long after I started so that my cycle was regulated. My sister had horrible pain during hers and mom wanted to try to prevent that for me. Didn't sit down with both but dad is really easygoing. I really miss those versions of my parents.
When my daughter headed off to university I bought her a box of condoms - told here I wasn't advocating anything other than staying safe. And when we checked her into her dorm she turned to her mother and said "Where should I put these?" Her mother didn't blink - just said "In the drawer beside your bed."
17 is a normal age? Ok… either I’m even more of a loser who can’t get a date then I thought I was or that’s not a normal age.
There is not a normal age. Different people have sex at different ages and that is fine. As soon as its consensual and between people of sinilar age thats all fine.
Load More Replies...I totally exploded when my then 15 yr. old told me she had sex with the boy next door (they knew each other for years). I don't know what hurt me more....the fact that she snuck out to do it or the fact she was 15. I at least waited until I was 17 going on 18. My mom STILL doesn't know when I lost my virginity! BTW my daughter is now 27 so I'm over it🙃
To anyone else reading, this is a good way to ensure your teen stops sharing things with you.
Load More Replies...I hope someday she could go back to a better Afghanistan. As a neighbor, really sad to see how Afghan people suffer
Many men here in the U.S. would keep her home, too.
Load More Replies...Now THIS is someone young women should be looking up to and aspiring to be like, not the current crop of influenzas/"celebrities" that are out there at the moment x
Dark skin is beautiful skin. We have to embrace the beauty of our skin color.
Skin color is a rainbow; from the lightest to the darkest, there’s so much beauty to behold. Love DOES see color, because it enriches the world.
What a sick world we live in where people are made to feel ashamed because of their colour.
You. Are. Gorgeous!! I've always been the tallest girl in my class, it made me a target for jealous bullies, I wanted to be invisible. Now at age 34 I love my height, I wear heels! You couldn't pay me enough to get rid of even an inch.
You are so beautiful! I love the velvet of your darkness, it's so calming and peaceful!
Yep, everyone's skin color is beautiful!!! I think we need to normalize the variation in skin because it's all natural and amazing!
This year’s aim is to help “drive global action and investment with a focus on financing for gender-just climate solutions, increasing women’s leadership in the green economy, building women’s and girls’ resilience to climate impacts and disasters and increasing the use of data on gender equality and climate.”
Other themes included #BreaktheBias in 2021 and aimed to bring light on gender stereotyping and discrimination and in 2020, the first year of the pandemic, it was I am Generation Equality: Realizing Women’s Rights.
You are a horrible human, the type of person no one will ever care enough about to write anything about. ALL research papers are written about someone. You go Molly, your brother is proud of you, as are most of us
Load More Replies...It is an important day to celebrate because the very existence of Women’s Day demonstrates that there is a problem as it is also a reminder of all the protests women have gone to, all the rights they have fought for and have finally received.
Twitter accounts like Women Posting W's are driving the world in the right direction and changing how the world treats women. Because there is power in solidarity and if women could go this far, they are able to go until the end.
Let us know what you think about these posts, which ones you liked the most and most importantly, share your own wins in the comments!
According to the "Truth or Fiction" website, this is a picture of a woman with rhododendron that is over 100 years old, but she did not plant it. The phrase "...and the woman who planted it" was not part of the original caption. Somebody tagged that on to make it more amazing.
If God made men first and then decided He needed to make women, God knew he had to learn from his mistakes.....
Why do men like that continue to think women aren't human beings too? 🙄
And here you are again! Thinking you are smart. It's Than*. It's a basic English lesson you should have learned by the time you were ten years old. Wanna argue with me? I have a BA in English.
Load More Replies...Love this! The rough patches on the road often get censored and this is the way to really see the bigger picture. Even greater achievement that way!
I failed my final semester of nursing school. I was gutted but I used it as an opportunity to learn. I went back, audited the previous semester so I could test back in, passed with flying colors and went on to get an A in my final semester. I passed my NCLEX I'm 75 questions (the minimum number to pass). Now, a few years on, I'm a nurse manager at a brain injury rehab facility and I'm loving life. Sometimes we just need a minute to get our head right. I shared my defeat on FB and my victory was even sweeter when I passed school and then my licensing exam.
Yes!!! let's share our lows with our highs! Let's show that life is normal with these ups and downs. So proud of her
I passed the bar... then I turned around and went in to have a pint!
You are stunning, nothing short but gorgeous. Congrats on the titles and achievement. Wonderfull father ❤️
Too bad you didn't choose to not be a bigot.
Load More Replies...yea, that "and back" part is pretty darned important
Load More Replies...l have a lego figure of her standing next to a stack of books.
Written BY HAND! I'm in school for coding right now, and even though I have a very powerful computer to help me out with coding, I'm rubbish at it. I'd probably just sit there and cry if my instructor decided we're going analog!
*whole, check your dictionary babe 😘 and yes, I do mean dic-tionary. And a repeat of grammar school certainly wouldn't hurt either...
Load More Replies...Congratulations on a great accomplishment; saving yourself is a life's work and you are well on the way.
I have a few addicts in my family, so I know how hard it is to stop an addiction. My uncle may drink a lot, but he is one of the nicest people I know. He would do anything for our family.
As the wife of an addict I am so very proud of you and everyone who decides on recovery
I am so happy for you, and I know how hard it must have been. You are strong, and you never gave up. You have won a victory over an obsession. I hope my niece can find the same strength and perceverence to be free from drugs.
Having a baby early or even out of a relationship shouldn't mean the end of dreams. This country needs to do better to elevate each other
So awesome! I wonder where this is. It's strange to see sidewalks that don't slope down/have accessibility. I live in a city in Canada and our sidewalks have always had accessibility.
Reese Witherspoon actually replied to this, congratulating her. I think that's brilliant - Elle woods for the win!
This is sooooo flipping AWESOME!!! Girl. Your whole life is gonna be charmed.
Good for you! Sounds like a change of living, giving a slow drop in weight, over time. Which is a better way to keep the routine going, rather than a fast diet/work out. Quick drop often reverses, slow and steady wins the race.
It's more than just the fact that losing a lot of weight is unsustainable. Losing too much too fast can cause all sorts of other issues.
Load More Replies...Losing 20lbs is one day is actually not possible. Seek help if you are. But first seek help for other reasons. Like all comments here you have made.
Load More Replies...Go Simone! She truly is an amazing gymnast - I mean, come on, who else can do a yurchenko DOUBLE pike!
Who else can do a what??...is that the gymnastics flippy trippy spinning s**t that looks like some high tech magic trick done kn 2 seconds???
Load More Replies...Our mental health is so important, and for every person who openly take care of it, it gets a little easier for others to seek the help they need! I salute you!
What is this golden stuff between her teeth? Braces? Decor? I'm really clueless.
And a badge fo that effect would’ve made more a of a point than a gold grill 🙄🤦♂️
THATS THE POINT. *You*, Iva, make assumptions and judge a gold grill… the type of person they are. Judge all you want… but she’s still a Dr and your (erroneous) opinion on grills is irrelevant. Way to miss the entire message here, white lady.
Load More Replies...please do this immediately! they are idiots, some of the biggest!
Load More Replies...I think the guy on the end wearing the braces/suspenders (?I think they are called in the USA) might, just might, have a wee bit of the hots for her x
I remember how good I felt buying my first reliable car. Truly a great feeling!
Sorry, but I heard many people using steroid for big muscle. In fact once a patent ask me to administer him. Hope that it is not the case
I follow her on Instagram- and she never used steroids because she herself is a doctor. She spoke out against them, actually.
Load More Replies...Did the same for my daughter. It's a joy to watch the tree grow with her :)
You look great. I too am not pencil thin so this makes me feel amazing.
I am a thin girl, and honestly this outfit would look ridiculous on me!! She is smokin’ hot in it!!
Load More Replies...No matter what I eat, how much I eat,I just can't get fatter. Don't know if I should be happy about it or sad
Load More Replies...I love lime green and velour! And she looks better in it than the mannequin
THIS IS AWESOME! I am not yelling because I am angry, I am yelling because this is AWESOME!
Nope! She made an excuse because she was so excited.
Load More Replies...am not Irish but I know I read that in the proper accent...
Load More Replies...My husband once asked me why I have a folder of all the pictures of my eating disorder. I told him....to remind me of when I wasn't me and not to go back to that. 80lbs to 148 and I'm loving my body thanks to him.
This one made me sad. She never had the opportunity to do something that clearly would have meant a lot to her.
Not true. She may have missed school, but she protected her family so they could have the chances she never had. I think that means the world to her.
Load More Replies...I'm going to copy this and send to my nieces so they can use it for every d1(k pic or god awful unprovoked unwanted sickening perverted message they receive. Which, it breaks my heart to say is at least twice a week ****If you are parents raising boys make sure you raise them to know just how wrong sending messages like this and pictures of their willys is. Let them know how disappointed and disgusted you are with their actions Yes it can be awkward and embarrassing to have the conversations, but tough, we as parents of boys/young men have a responsibility to raise them right*****
that is the best! could I borrow this if anyone does this to me?
Giving birth is much, MUCH harder and more painful than any midterm exam. She deserved that 100.
Load More Replies...And now I want to know what you're selling and what the name of your company is....
If you click the name under the post it’s in the twitter comments. She sells jewelry in the US. Her company is RaisedbyJupiter!
Load More Replies...This is such a pretty bowl--anything you do with it will instantly create more happiness
It reminds me of the Bible verse: Upon this rock, I build my church and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.
I have a mug with a flamingo on it. a) it's got a flamingo on it, and b) it reminds me of the kindness of the friend who gave it to me
So Thomas, I take it then you would have no problem switching jobs to be a MANicurist? Or having you and your guy pals known as woMEN? Oh wait. You would need to transition. Oh if you are hetero, good luck with getting a woMAN to sleep with you. Just saying.
As a FEMALE postman myself: Томас Сведа, іди нахуй. You are not funny. Especially on International Womans' Day.
Load More Replies...Didn't the First Lady Jill Biden already do this at the Inauguration? Her dress was embroidered with all the 50 states official flowers. It was a beautiful dress!!
This is cutE but all I can think about is How much MONEY AHAHGDHDJSHGFHDJSHDGFH
Is it that wrong to read this kind of posts and to feel depressed, instead of uplifted and proud for them? I can't help to compare their triumphs to my life and what I did not accomplish, and that makes me feel awful. Don't get me wrong, keep up with these posts, I'm sure it's a good encouragement for people to believe in themselves and to never give up...I just have to remember not to open the tab, especially when I'm already in a bad mood.
Even if it's not as public as these, you can and will do so many amazing things in your life, no matter how big or small. I believe in you <3. Also try to remember that everything on social media is the 'best' things that happen, and in most cases don't show all the struggles people go through.
