Between cosmically unrealistic beauty standards and the gender pay gap, women have a lot on their plate. As with any shared experience, be it a job, gender or fandom, there are going to be some memes made about it. After all, at the very least, one can commiserate and have a laugh, if nothing else.

The “Girl Posts” Instagram page is dedicated to funny and relatable memes about navigating the world as a woman. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your thoughts in the comments below.

While it gets thrown around often, the idea of the gender pay gap isn’t just some boogeyman, it’s a real and documented issue. On average, in, for example, the EU, the gap stands at 12.7%. While this might not necessarily seem like that much, imagine, for a second, if you will, taking a 12% pay cut just because your employer felt like it.

If you are a woman, chances are you didn’t even have to imagine it. Many workplaces discourage employees from discussing this question for this very reason. It’s also worth noting that the EU has a lot of female participation in the workplace and even rules and regulations against this sort of thing, so the situation is likely worse elsewhere.

Lovers, friends, family, workplaces....everything falls into this.

In the US, the commonly thrown around number is that a woman makes 84 cents to each dollar paid to a man. Again, this might seem like a smallish gap, but once you consider decades of savings for a pension and social security, the difference becomes a lot harder to justify. Remember, this is, generally, for the exact same amount of work.

Similarly, if you are a woman, depending on where you live, there are no doubt lawmakers who have decided that not only do they know better about feminine anatomy, but that it’s their duty to put in some regulations. This is particularly visible in the United States this year (2024) as twenty-one states have put in place restrictions (or full bans) on abortions.

If you ever use this phrase then you are indeed "girly" and not a woman. And not someone that most of us would want to be around.

Did she seriously grub-hub McDonalds? That's basically paying somebody else to go bring you back some disappointment

This is not only a breach of bodily autonomy, a concept so horrible in practice that it has an entire genre of horror dedicated to it, it’s also a surefire way to just make women suffer. In other words, banning abortions doesn’t stop them, it only drives them underground. Pro-life folks, who have cleverly co-opted an innocuous sounding concept, are creating a world where not only is the fetus now in danger, but so is the mother.

Still save some of them, because you are more beautiful today than you will be a year from now, and you will look back and realise you didnt look to bad after all. You will cherish those pictures when you are old

Then again, so many cases of harassment and abuse go overlooked already, so it might feel futile to wonder why the champions of “life” don’t seem to have many good ideas on how to preserve it. Then again, if you can’t grasp the most basic parts of another person’s experiences, it’s unlikely that you can actually help or sympathize.

I don't really get this one. When I am upset I will tell you I am upset and why. Otherwise, how can I expect things to get resolved?

Uck. "Do I always look like that to other people? What's that face? Why am I making that face? I tilt my head a lot. Should I raise my chin so I look less chubby? Wait...what was this meeting about?"

I witnessed a coworker get stopped by a man in our parking lot who told her to smile. She said "I don't get paid to smile at you until we open." Icon.

Better yet, own up to your actions and do better. Not for them, but for your own self-respect.

About the only thing I wouldn't wish on an enemy is losing someone (including pets) they love. That's it. Everything else is fair game IMO

Such an immature reaction. Depending on the time of year or the event, i'd probably need to work out warm clothes to wear if it's winter, if i'm gonna be out a while I need to make sure the cats have plenty of water and food, need to know how late if there's work tomorrow. You can't just text someone out of the blue and expect them to drop their life for you with no explanation just because you want to be spontaneous, then get rude and snippy just because they're not bending to you snapping your fingers. Have respect for the other persons schedule and life.

When we say that, it's usually because we've already voiced our issue with the other person, they've ignored it and changed nothing, so when it happens again we know the person won't change, this is the c**p you'll always have to deal with from them, so there's no point in having another conversation about it. The quickest way to nullify the conversation is to say "i'm fine/it's fine" with that withering look on our face of utter exasperation. An entire gender isn't doing this just for the fun of it.
