I never liked tampons. Never used them. This b***h, ugh... why do they freaking sell pads if "no one" uses them?
You’re Not Quirky
I’m Not Like Other Girls I Make Bone Broth
‘I’m Not Like The Other Girls Because I Believe In Modestyyy’
When I hear about nipples "disrespecting marriage" and can't help but imagine a woman going down the street while her boobs scream " Marriage is a scam! Your husband is a gold-digger! Your wife is a cheater! Wake up! Get a divorce!" at unfortunate strangers, because she forgot to put on her bra that muffles those sounds.

How about everyone shows up wearing what they want? Crazy concept, I know ;)

How Quirky
I Hold A Ps4 Controller, I’m A Real Gamer Girl™️
Dear all men/women/whoever in general: All games ARE games and whatever you play, you ARE a gamer despite what bozo up there said. You may not play the same games as me, but you all deserve a seat in the great mead hall of Sovngarde nonetheless. I shall see you there down the road.
First Post Here, I Just Hate Book Shaming In General
What's wrong with reading for fun? I don't need Kafka to add to my existential dread.
It's especially silly since Kafka never wanted to be read. So, if you truly were a Kafka fan your read his work in secret and feel ashamed that you do so against his will.

Okay...you got to books and you've crossed the line. Don't make people feel bad for reading, that's not cool. Read whatever the hell you want to read!
People who flex with having read Kafka... have not read Kafka at all. If they had, they wouldn't mention it.
Not necessarily. You could like his books and find it impressive that you do, while simultaneously disagreeing with his views about reading his books. (Which, if you like his books, you would inevitably do, no?)

Librarian here, I honestly just love to see people read. Trashy romance novel? Fan fiction? Graphic novels? Kafka? Go for it. They all have value. I’m not saying they’re all good—I’ve definitely read romances and fanfic that should’ve been tossed in the fireplace instead—but every genre has some amazing works. Wth’s wrong with Colleen Hoover? “It Ends With Us” is second-to-top on my to-be-read stack.
Referencing well known authors, who I like, isn't the flex she thinks it is.
Just let people read, for all that is holy! You complain as to why nobody reads these days, and at the same time Insult anyone who doesnt want to read about angry 18th century Russian men who beat their wives and transform into beetles l. I mean I love Kafka but it ain't perfect and ain't for everyone and THATS OK
And the Colleen Hoover girl is out having fun with her friends while you're sitting at home with Fyodor, Franz and your cat.
Well, being an introvert, that is the way I like it. There is something for everyone.

For advanced misery, I recommend this young lady read Kierkegaard and Hegel.
I mean, these days, I'm mostly reading gay fanfic on AO3. I look much happier than that.
Ffs - hate these people. Read what you want! If you want to read ‘ Lord of the Flies ‘ do it! If you want to look through a ‘ Where’s Wally? ‘ - fking do it! You don’t have to read a dictionary, to be classed as a reader.
Which conveniently are the only two works she knows outside of Harry Potter
And I suppose you woke up one morning and you were a giant bug, which the exterminator took out before you had breakfast
And why would anyone want to be the same as a snob that reads competitively and doesn't seem to enjoy it very much? I kinda want to watch her and the one that showed up to a Christmas sweater party wearing a sock snowed in for several days with only themselves for entertainment.
Some people want to escape, some people need to edify their minds to do it and others need to picture what it’d be like to experience other lives. And some people in an entire generation wait for the movie to come out so they can pretend to be like the others and then the book publishing world only publishes books like the books people pretend to enjoy and no one realizes this is happening not even when the general public hates the author for being TERFy ….say your truth. Own your truth and you don’t need to lie and say you love to read if you like movies instead because readers will suffer for decades.
You're so deep, I'm sure you think that Poe and H.D.T are charlatans. Walden was probably like an afternoon read for you /s
Yeah, I read Thoreau's "Walden" last year. It was dead boring and drier than a telephone book.
Load More Replies... And you look like someone who reads Dostoyevsky and Kafka. Alone with your ego and depressed.
And I am on the Strategical and Tactical Considerations for the Fireground, Fire Chief's Handbook of Tactics, and Fire Command. So I guess we are not the same either. Want to trade?
Oooh what an edgy intellectual! Scusa me while I go read whatever genre and theme I want. Why do we have to pigeonhole everything
this goes for both men and women: stop trying to whip and/or intimidate others with your supposed intellect. it impresses no one. and, if you are the type that likes to memorize "deep thought" quotes, keep them to yourself. reading can be entertaining or it can be thought provoking...not practicing for being a parrot of unoriginal thought.
Dostoevskiy? Russian chauvinist and raging religious zealot who wrote unbelievably boring books with unsympathetic characters?
Boring is putting it mildly. I find most so-called "great literature" unreadable. Call it a character flaw. ;-)

She's Not Like Other Moms
Yes and without a C-section some people wouldn't survive childbirth. It's a medical procedure it makes no one more or less special for having one.
Can We Please Stop With This C**p Already??
Yeah but see... vanilla is a good flavor. If you're out there claiming you're lobster butter pecan walnut raspberry swirl, you're not a forever flavor for most.
On A Facebook Group For "Boys Only"
I’m a girl who prefers pants over dresses but acts a bit girly otherwise. My father thought that I was trying to be a boy and would constantly make fun of me for being a boy which sucks because I don’t think he’d accept if his kids were trans :(
No, It's Embarrassing To Put Down Other Women At A Party

Then you should have more empathy and sympathy. Or just, you know, be a normal human being.
Hugging Your Friends Is Weird?
Does This Belong In This Sub? Apparently Being Bi-Curious Isnt A Thing Anymore
Yeah, i mean questionning your own sexuality is great. But i don't get why you would brag about it. But tbf the post is confusing, she says she wouldn't date a girl, not that she doesn't love/ is attracted to girls. She could be closeted for her own reasons (like Compulsory heterosexuality). But it's kinda odd to call yourself straight then :/
Oh No

So you’ve got a guy with an anger problem, who likes to destroy things?

Guys She's A Tomboyyyy 🤩🤩😜😜🤪
I mean if they are really flopping right out there maybe get a female supervisor to have a quiet word, but the whole “married woman” bit is too much.

All I see is a bunch of people that were never given enough attention growing up. They want to be noticed. Here's the thing...criminals get noticed...corrupt politicians get noticed...out of control celebrities get notice. Getting noticed isn't always a good thing. Especially if you lack humility and come off as a pompous entitled person because then you get noticed for all the wrong reasons.
From my experience women are the worst enemy of other women. I grew up with a sister, work in a field with a lot of women around - and the majority of the conversations is gossip about how bad some other woman is.
My sister noticed that too. She became an HVAC tech in a field predominately occupied by men. She said men may tell vulgar jokes and can be a little too flirty, but they will never gossip about you or stab you in the back the way female co-workers do.

BP has had these kinds of post before, and it feels weird that they pretty much just list women being s****y. There are plenty of men trying and failing to appear edgy, maybe mix it up a bit.
Can't we just except that every person is special in their own individual way without putting down anyone else? There's not a limited amount of coolness. Plenty for everyone. Just grab some for yourself and go, you don't need to steal it.
Pointless and nasty material that shrivelled my brain to read. Gave up after about 6 items. If a thread is about putting people down it's neither funny nor fun it's just mean and cruel. Big fail BP.
I had a not like other girls phase and then I realized I was non-binary. And now I’ve learned to accept my more feminine side.
You see this panda? It's actually less panda than other pandas. But you can't really tell, especially when I comment like this.
Waiting for "cover your t*ts girl to visit Ontario. Gonna record her head exploding 🤣
I'm sooooo not like other girls. They inhale THEN exhale but see I exhale THEN inhale. I am so original!
No-one is the same. Everyone is different. Congrats. You don't need to compare yourself to others, you probably have more enjoyable stuff to get on with. So get on with it.
I am not sure what was worse. The "memes" or the comments. This was a rough one.
