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 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
Get a horse. Works wonders when you need an excuse for being late: "Sorry I'm late, the horse escaped", "Sorry I'm late, horse was in the wrong field", "Sorry I'm late, the horse ate through the hedge again", "Sorry I'm late, I had to untangle a dead bird from my horse's mane" (this actually happened)
Make sure you give it a human name, like Emily or Jarrod. Stay away from names like Fluffy and Sir Tuna-Lover McFuzzyBum.

Yes they will if they care and love there parents and then they will be the ones doing the same thing.
Load More Replies...I‘m going to take this as a joke, because as far as I know people who leave work because of their kids, don‘t do that voluntarily or to have a great time at home…
It's not a joke. Many Childfree people are constantly asked to stay late, cover or are denied time off because they don't have kids. They have lives as well.
Load More Replies...As a parent who has an anxiety attack every time her phone rings when she’s at work because it might be the school calling again about her autistic kid’s behaviour - this one is seriously ignorant.
Can people please stop acting like the days we take to care for our kids is a walk in the damned park? Sit with a feverish 3 year old with an ear ache for even 45 minutes and you'll be begging to go back to the office. If you need a day off, then take a damned day off, it's not the parents fault. Legit when I was in an office as HR like all of our office staff smoked (yeah they're dumb I know). Hired a non smoker and she was irritated that so many people just got extra breaks to kill themselves pretty much. So I told her to just go out anyways and get a "sunshine" break instead. The joy I gave that woman was totally worth getting bitched at by their manager for. Eff that.
I wish I worked in your world. I'd do the sitting with... Oh, I did that with my niece and nephew, while making sure my job was done. And if you can't calm a lil one with an earache, how'd you survive teething? And what I get at work is the kid has to go to the doctor, blah blah blah. I'm a disabled veteran with service in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East. I'm on a first name basis with surgeons and specialists at VA facilities in four states. But I can be at work and do my job. And so do. If you choose to breed, be conscious of how this personal decision will impact everyone around you, including your coworkers. Why should I, and my family, lose out because you chose to breed without a childcare plan?
Load More Replies...OMG this is so true. I got so sick of covering for people because "you don't have kids, I need to get home to them"
Your place of employment is the worst. Try my place of employment where no one gets to leave early. I mean...it's not great but at least it's equally. Lol
That's why I give all my pets human names- Charlie, Stewie, Zeva, Henry, Annie, etc.
That may depend on what gender you are. Be a woman and then you can watch yourself get passed over for every promotion and be the first to get laid off and then find yourself in your 60's when no one will hire you and you were not able to save for retirement and your children can't find jobs either because the rich business owners need more yachts, so you are still having to help them out and your future is a Medicaid nursing home and bedsores.
Gotta say I snickered at this one. My sister used to complain about the parents in her office getting special treatment. Obviously some were cheating the system but most weren't. Then along comes her son. She couldn't believe that there wasn't understanding for when her son was sick or she wanted time off. BTW I think she only told me these thoughts and I did reminder about the past.
Also at my next job, all four of my grandparents will be alive...
All of these people who get to leave early-where do they work? Literally the only time I could leave early because I had a kid was when that kid was a victim of an actual crime and the police called. I have been asked to stay late, pick up shifts, even taken half of someone's class because they were hung over and there were no subs available. One woman at a job I had left early to take care of her parents. Is that OK?
If people who have kids get special treatment where you work, that’s on your employer. Everywhere I’ve worked I’ve been around parents who are constantly stressed about not missing days to meet company policy. In the US there’s no protection for parents to take extra time, so if your employer is allowing that that is their choice. I’ve also seen my friends with kids lose jobs and be on probation for having to take time with their kids, so it goes both ways. Usually employers have a limit on time and just because you perceive that parents are taking more than you, doesn’t mean you couldn’t just call in sick or whatever for the same amount of time. It’s really silly that it has to be an argument, don’t any of you know people/friends with kids who seriously try hard or are you all just spoiled sad single folks in your own little worlds?
"Why can't you work every weekend, snow day and conceivable holiday? You don't have a family!" If I had a penny... I'd be rich...
I have two cats. They have passably human names. I tell people I have a 5 year old and a 2 year old when they ask if I have kids. They are my fluffy little "get out of jail free" cards.
If course you're offended because parents always are when childless people point out they end up picking up the slack for other people's life choices.

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.

Sad thing is I have seen more then half of these in other "lists". The bot that runs this place is getting stupid again.

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.

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/
