This entire list pisses me off and makes me realize better the struggles that women have to go through, this entire list treats women usuriously and like they are all spoiled bratty children. Thank god I live in an area where if men treated women like these comments do in public they would get walked out the door by another man
Fair enoug, I realize that is what this listicle is about, but This particular meme need not be gendered though.
Load More Replies...I’m a SCECC (self-contained entertainment center with cats… no one tell JD!)
Load More Replies...Being alone isn't... "being alone". I like my own life alone now! I can go to the bathroom and spend as much time as I want in there!!! Given my spinal bruising and disability! I can poop in peace!!! I have friends who are usually on the end of FB messenger if something bad has happened. I don't often go out unless I really have to, but I do know that there's always going to be someone that I can reach out to if I'm in need of just talking 💜💜💜
keep him, he's a good dude. his drunness made him express his true love for u while others make them express their true hate.
I thought that too but when I read it it makes me feel happy, so I've decided to give this happy drunk man the benefit of the doubt.
Load More Replies...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.
Me - "Oh gosh today was bad!!! Okay, make it a bit happier by ordering a huge amount of toilet paper!!! Tissues for your issues!!!" 😄
Really?! Over here in America, MAGA says that the high rent costs are all Biden (and now Kamala's) fault! I didn't realize these two were so diabolical that they could control the rent costs over in Australia as well! /s
Load More Replies...Me when anyone asks me to go camping. I pay too much rent to live outside!
Quit my last job by handing my boss a sticky note on which I had written “30 - AMF.” He asked what the hell that meant. “That’s my 30-day written notice — Adios emmer effer!”
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.
So who cares. A fluffy stuffed teddy something or the cat wrapped around the belly or the dog snuggling up against your neck and chest. Who gives a s**t as long as it makes you comfortable and safe?
they're useful for wedging against my back or propping my arm up!
The classic one. And the even more classic one is where I turned off the telly, and she immediately woke up and scolded me for turning it off because she was actually watching it. >.<
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.
You Can.... Because you have to... Life is sometimes tough, hard but you can either suck it up and push on through or give up... Please keep trying to push on through... Giving up? I've felt it but thought about everyone else... As in who would I leave behind? So... Gots This. Gotta push further and be open with whoever needs to know.
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.
your vote does not belong to your husband! Vote your heart!
Load More Replies...There are some things my significant other is allowed to veto. Obviously there is discussion first but still.
Too many women give away their autonomy. Now that I’m older I want to go back and kick my a*s for this.
"My boyfriend won't let me"... Urgh... I will be with you if needed. But noone in the world, your life etc should ever say to you "you can't" or take control of your life. Unless of course you are in danger of making choices that could literally endanger your life. Then intervention is needed but the whole "My boyfriend won't let me"? Nope. I'm a grown up adult and I'm not in any actual danger...
The only thing my husband won't let me do is wear heels/platforms after he spent half the night keeping me upright after I face planted at the vampire ball
if your boyfriend won't let you, it's time to dropkick the boyfriend into the nearest trashcan!
In no way does being gay preclude "My {_}friend wont let me" dynamics.
Load More Replies...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
I have photos of my time in hospital... I was starting to put makeup on! Love those photos, which are NOT shared! They're private but it's.... I'm not ugly, I just now have facial scars which I can cover up with makeup so Let's Boogie! 💜💜💜 Noone is actually ugly facially, ugly comes from personality and how you act...
Sometimes getting the chores done, that you couldn't get done during the week IS relaxing. Because you're getting sh1t done!!
As a single parent I have a question. What is this "day off" that people keep talking about?
Nothing better than having done your laundry and put it away!!! Achievement for the day! Go me!!! 💜🙂💜
That's not Jesus though, that's Cesare Borgia, da Vinci's gay lover
Load More Replies...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.
true, especially when your wake up time is 5:00 and u share with bedd hog and u wake up on the floor every morning.
I want someone who agrees with me on the important things in life. See above.
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?
Oh I agree, but I guess sometimes one can’t rock the boat? I’m a firm boat-rocker though (not to be confused with yacht rock).
Load More Replies..."You have done something to make me feel mad... Own it." I'll be quiet and soft voiced, as I usually am, but you push me too far? You're gonna know about it... Once my *Danger Voice" comes out? Darling? You better run...i don't play anymore.
Its a new way of underlining the words to increase their tonation/importance, i think. Usually I see it with "" tho.
Load More Replies...I moved and my Blu-ray player stopped showing up my TV (although the audio worked, speakers-wise) when I set it back up. I bought a replacement. Same issue. 3 months later I decided to put my TV on a tall stand and my Son in Law helped out, and noticed I'd put the cable into "HDMI OUT" 😳. It was about then that I realised I def needed new glasses. 🤓
😄😄😄 I sooooo feel you on this one!!!
Load More Replies...I've done enough socializing and interacting with clients my whole career. Now I just prefer to be alone. Ain't nothing left in the bucket, except kicking it!
Hey, if it makes you feel good to wear it.... confidence is cute.
Anyone else smash their nose on the screen trying to read the stuff on the left?
This happens when my wife asks "What are you thinking about?" and I answer "nothing in particular".
At least I'm properly fed and watered before going out on 3h of sleep. Does it help? Afraid not...
If that's the worst you can do, you're a cutie. When you come back as bloodied and screaming zombie staggering towards your spouse in total killing mode while he is desperately trying to save his life by having the first cup of coffee ready for you when you reach the kitchen, THEN we're talking.
In my mind, taking out one bag of trash allows me to take a break and rest until the next bag is ready to go.
This is probably an AI-generated image. I just prompted Bard with "Create an image of a head similar to that of the "Hello Kitty" cat on a plastic body-builder's body" and it came up with something similar but the body is a deep tan and it's wearing a blue speedo concealing a very large package.
"sir, why is the touch screen so furry?" "would you like to return it and get a new one?'' "sure-*realizes what it is* no thanks, but do you have any hamster cages on sale?" "..." "NVM bye *goes to a pet supply store"
..or something equally silly that keep one awake for an hour thinking about. 😳
I think I forgot to say I to some random passing by at the mall when I was saying hi to every single random passing by me at the mall.
Load More Replies...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.
I work from home in sweats/pajamas, and I rarely go out, so I barely need any other clothes 😅
I work overnights and get to more or less wear what I want. My entire work wardrobe is leggings and oversized button-down flannels. The same thing I've been wearing since my first pregnancy 12 years ago 🤷♀️
Load More Replies...Me with color pink. I've always been drawn to it, and it looks good on me.
That's my wife's favorite color. Shoes, purse, car, cookware, towels!! Everything is that color.
I wouldnt get along too great with "god" anyway. And ""they" wouldnt want to hear what I have to say eighter, so down I will go.
Yeah, I worked as a Systems Analyst for years, and always thought that If I ever met God, I'd have a Lot of questions for him. And not politely, either.
Load More Replies..."I'd choose hell over a homophobic heaven," -Desmond Tutu. This may get downvoted, and I'm not trying to be controversial. But this made me think of this quote
and...why r u talking to me soft can opener? now go fetch your emperess/emperor a pail of water, be4 jac and Jill...
Better yet, own up to your actions and do better. Not for them, but for your own self-respect.
My mum has an almost identical thingy (idk what it’s called)
Think they added an emoji later, don’t think it’s on the clock from a quick Google - which is a shame because I want one too!
Load More Replies...The worst part of losing my eyelashes during chemo was they would always fall in my eyes
My sister's biggest thing was not wanting to lose her lashes; she was ok with other hair but really wanted to hang onto her lashes. She did during the first treatment but lost them during the second. I hope you're well now
Load More Replies...I seem to be in a different world this morning - which of these is which, and what exactly is the problem?
You look great when you look in the mirror, but when you reviews photos of yourself you look terrible. At least that’s how I read it.
Load More Replies...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.
This is not "girly" or "cute." This sounds like someone needs a consultation with a clinician of some sort. This is not healthy.
its not that, it just means that emoji is multi purpose like is could be cry bc I'm sad, cry out of laughter, cry bc u don't know what ur doing. but ur right not girly
Load More Replies...what kinda off brand Cinderella is this!? and where can I watch?
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.

Sorry, but these were awful. Very sexist and demeaning for the most part, although a few were cute - especially the ones that were not gender specific. It is this theme of being "girly" that puts us in a second hand and lower position - a display of "look at me, guys, I am ditzy and emotional so I am less threatening - isn't that cute?" that makes it difficult for the rest of us ladies to be taken seriously. I know young ladies in middle grades who are more mature than most of these entries. This one (obviously) hits a nerve with me.
Hey. Cool it. If you think we men are any better, think again. We just do it on other issues than you. And some of them are close to home wether you like it or not. It's part of being a woman. Don't deny it. Take pride in being a woman and embrace who you are. Because nobody's perfect, nor are you supposed to be. That is what makes you not the perfect woman, but the woman who is perfect for the man who loves you.
