The first rule of Girl Code is we stick by one another no matter what. Whether we’ve been friends since kindergarten or just met in the restroom, we’ve got each other’s back, especially in matters of safety and feminine hygiene. Life is way too complex for us to be at one another’s throats.
Rather, let’s laugh at the ironic, unforgiving, and delightful bits of life that are perfectly represented in these posts shared by “Girls Meet The Internet.” The Instagram account has been entertaining its 98.7K followers since July 2017, and there seems to be no sign of it stopping.
Whilst you’re scrolling through this list, I thought it would be interesting to delve a little bit into the notion of feminism—the belief in social, economic, and political equality of the sexes. As stated on Encyclopaedia Britannica, feminism is manifested worldwide and is represented by various institutions committed to activity on behalf of women’s rights and interests.
Although a lot of people nowadays tend to misunderstand its purpose, few look into the history that started it all. Throughout most of Western history, women were confined to the domestic sphere, while public life was reserved for men. Even as late as the early 20th century, women could neither vote nor hold elective office in Europe and in most of the United States.
Women were prevented from conducting business without a male representative. Married women could not exercise control over their own children without the permission of their husbands. Moreover, women had little or no access to education and were barred from most professions. In some parts of the world, such restrictions on women continue today.
Yeah, July 2022, a 500 acre fire in Texas was caused by glass in a garbage can magnifying the sun and igniting papers. It burned 5 homes and took 8 days to contain.
How about devouring an entire take and bake chibatta loaf fresh from the oven?
Feminism is not a modern affair. In late 14th- and early 15th-century France, the first feminist philosopher, Christine de Pisan, challenged prevailing attitudes toward women with a bold call for female education. The defense of women had become a literary subgenre by the end of the 16th century, when Il merito delle donne (1600; The Worth of Women), a feminist broadside by another Venetian author, Moderata Fonte, was published posthumously.
As further explained on Encyclopaedia Britannica, defenders of the status quo painted women as superficial and inherently immoral, while the emerging feminists produced long lists of women of courage and accomplishment and proclaimed that women would be the intellectual equals of men if they were given equal access to education.
I would absolutely participate in this! Not sure if I count as "silly," but I've learned a lot from eccentric old women, and i would appreciate any pearls of wisdom they decide to impart on me.
Equality is the main word in the equation (although there are certain aspects that get misconstrued with this notion as well), with an emphasis on oppression. At the core of it all, Feminist theory argues that women should enjoy the same rights as men, including the right to speech, religion, bodily autonomy, and political expression.
Simply put, feminism is a movement to end sexism, sexist exploitation, and oppression. And although the misinterpretation of that poses men as the main enemy, that is simply not the case, as feminism embodies equality for all. Yet Joshua Evans posed an interesting question: “Can true equality be achieved if half the population cannot help, or does feminism lose its way if it becomes dominated by male voices?”
I dont think any teenagers are particularly easy, we’re all our own little package of chaos tied up in a bow
My friend and I have writing chemistry. I write long, dialogue heavy rambles about characters that exist only in my mind, she makes them make sense to the outside world.
Studies show that in more gender-equal societies, men are half as likely to be depressed, less likely to commit suicide, have around a 40% smaller risk of dying a violent death, and even suffer less from chronic back pain. In an equal society, social issues such as sexual assault and domestic violence against men may be treated more seriously.
Feminism has also allowed men to have longer maternity leave and be full-time parents, combatting ‘breadwinner’ stereotypes. These are a few examples of what feminism can and continues to do for men. And it’s up to men to support it in whatever way they can.
There is still a long way to go when it comes to the realization of feminist ideals, but I’m sure that sooner rather than later we’ll develop as a society to embrace one another, respect one another, and be there for one another. In the meantime, here are some universal rules of Girl Code.
If a girl needs a tampon and you have a tampon—help her out. If you notice a girl is too intoxicated to even see straight, get her some water and assist as necessary to keep her safe. If you see someone harassing or unwantedly touching a girl, help her out. If a girl is crying, make sure everything is alright. Finally, passing judgment on others does nobody justice, we girls need to stick together.

I used to think the 8-track flap in the car stereo was the little garage door that the tiny singers used to get inside the radio...
After being together for 10 years, I finally had to send dh to buy pads. I gave him the box lid. While there, he met a man with glazed eyes and a desperate expression. He held up the lid and said "go get this".
I sent my husband to get me tampons while we were still FWB. He's a good sport 😆

I have pics of my wife’s preferred sanitary products on my phone so I don’t need to FaceTime her showing her the shelves of oh so similar but slightly different boxes. Live and learn
My 16 year old son asks me every time he goes shopping if I need something, like tampons. 💁♀️

Women and girls, please send a very specific description of the brand, model, features (wtf are pearls?), and level when when sending your eager to please but completely clueless husband, boyfriend, dad, brother, etc to the store for menstrual products. Pictures are very helpful. This has been a public service announcement.
Me, a women with periods: It could be my own thoughts when standing in front of the isle. That or a glazed look, not knowing where to begin. And ending up with not the ones I want. (I'm a woman, use a lot of washable pads and a cup but also sometimes single use stuff like tampons and pads, but don't quite have a favourite brand, also the selection at the store seems to have changed each time / the brands have changed something etc...) Wished I could text someone to tell me which one I should get. Keuzestress. (Stress from too many choices).
This is a reasonable question. They get confused with all the choices. My ex bought a brand for me that I had never tried before and I gave it a go. Never looked back.
I mean, ngl- it's kinda cool that he legit thinks you COULD be a secret agent! He suspects he's dating Lara Croft!
I knew I'd found a good guy when my husband of 59 years had no qualms at buying me sanitary necessities from Boots before we were even affianced in 1963.
Jimmy Carr: I'm a modern man, I'm not afraid to buy tampons - but apparently it's not a "proper present". Sorry Mum!
When I had my first period, my parents were at work. My older sis handed me a box of mini-pads and headed to class. When my dad got home, I got up my courage to ask him if you're supposed to change pads every hour or so. He asked to see what my sister gave me and said, "No woman in this house can get by with these. I'll go get you what I buy for your mom and sisters." My hero!
I LOVE the Bill Engvall bit about him buying pads for his daughter who had just started her period. Wife says "just make sure they're narrow" "Can't she just use one of yours and fold it in half??" 🤣
My mom started me on these huge diaper like pads. It was hard to walk without waddling. I think they were meant for nighttime. I didn’t know there were other options. It was a few cycles before I figured out they make better ones than she was buying

Sent my husband to get tampons for our daughter while I was at work he got the right ones but then said they were buy one get one half off but I didn't know if she would need that many. I looked at him and said u realize this happens every month right.
I never understood the whole "men having trouble buying tampons" thing. The only time I struggled a little bit was which pads to get when my granddaughter first started because she was a bit petite. And I didn't have any problem asking the ladies in the pharmacy for help with that. I honestly don't get the stereotype / stigma around it.
That's awesome. My family is very different. Well my dads side. My uncle threw a fit because my disabled elderly grandmothers adult diapers or incontinence pads( can't remember which but either way not even sanitary feminine products!) were in sight because I put them where she could reach them. His own mother. I was pissed and my poor grandmother just embarrassed but I think also upset because she knew she raised him and they turned out like that. My dad is not as bad as his brothers but he's still not open either.

My wife has had a hysterectomy and she still carries 1 or 2 items for ladies In need
This would've made me laugh...and we ladies know what happens when you laugh on your period.
Why is it the woman never have tampons when the time of the month comes round. It's not as if they have a best before date. You know you are going to need them but no, it a mad rush to the local ship or borrow from some one in the restaurant we are eating at.
Fair point - but then I don't understand how people can run out of sugar or salt either, and still people manage to do that.

It is really tough these days. Go easy on the guys. The period products now take up one side of an aisle in the pharmacy. Used to be there were 2 choices of pads and 2 choices of tampons.
I understand his confusion. I (61F) would have to ask my daughter and granddaughter to be specific. So many choices!
My husband would have not have even had to ask, he would go for the cheapest option every time, tight af lol
I wanna know how the tampons are so cheap. They're at least $6 where I live for a small box!
My GF made buy her some at the one time. She thought it was funny to make me do it, till I had I started acting like a girl with the big burly and bearded cashier and had a full on conversation about tampons with him.
I was in line behind a guy at the grocery store. He had a box of Super Plus tampons, a bouquet of flowers, a bottle of wine and a box of chocolates. I tapped him on the shoulder to let him know he was absolutely doing it right.
Secret Agent Vibe? Where are these comments all coming from? So funny.
When Covid hit, my brother (55) had to shop for my elderly mum. He phoned me, panicking, because she needed incontinence pads. I said "Take the 2 box lids to the pharmacy and ask for help" All the pads etc are near the pharmacy and even people who know what they need have trouble finding the right shelf. He accomplished his mission.
Good on him for going and then asking what the right product was, my ex would never even contemplate 'embarrassing' himself by buying me Tampax. Total wanker.
I legit have a tee with the caption "party like it's 1651". It's good dance music
excuse me?! you can't go around telling people that I exist! what the heck are you doing?
If I open a bar with a sad hour, how many people do you think would come?
Like love the environment but I love my sanity just a tiny bit more

About 90% of these weren't about womanhood, but about everyday situations.. that also men can relate to. Maybe consider changing the title?
Yes. BP is getting very lackadaisical about appropriate titles.

When reading this post it occurred to me, that women often complain of their clothes having no or much too small pockets. This could be a conspiracy to keep women down, because they will then need to carry handbags to carry what they need and be at a disadvantage, with just one free hand (I use a bag with a long strap, so I carry it on my left side and on my right shoulder because I like to have my hands free).
I wear dark colored nurse scrub pants because they have lots of pockets and are easy to wash.

The basic components of a typical coffee maker include a water reservoir, a coffee filter or pod holder, a heating element, and a carafe or coffee pot. To brew coffee, water is poured into the reservoir, and coffee grounds are placed in the filter or pod holder. When activated, the coffee maker heats the water, and it drips or is forced through the coffee grounds, extracting the flavors and aromas from the beans. The brewed coffee then flows into the carafe or coffee pot below, ready for consumption. https://dripcaffeine.com/
