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
I use a glass straw. It comes with a brush for cleaning it, and it's easy to see when it's clean.
I grew up with paper straws, I don't remember having any problems with them!
Yes, but only nowadays. Back in the 60s, paper straws were just fine!
Load More Replies...Ooo! My fave restaurant has these biodegradable straws made of....pressed corn or something? They're caramel colored with speckles. Quite stiff, they hold up like a regular straws. Does anyone know what those are made of?
Probably a corn starch material. If you leave it in water a long time and it dissolves, there you go.
Load More Replies...please drink like an adult america.you don't need straws to be "able" to drink. at least get sippy-cups
LOL (many) years ago in grade school paper straws were the norm with your little carton of milk. They used to have a little straw punch hole spot on one side. They sucked when I was 7 and they still stuck a half century+ later. I do applaud the effort to use less plastic. Just... paper straws not the answer.
Reusable straws in your handbag/backpack/whatever else are a LIFESAVER
It’s not the straws so much. It’s product manufactures packing their tiny products in huge packaging. Packaging sizes increasing while the products inside get smaller every year. A box with a bag inside with another bag inside that and then a smaller box with the shrink-wrapped product inside. Soooooo much wasted and unnecessary plastic.
Using a metal or paper straw is not a huge ask for helping out the environment and wildlife.
I might get downvoted for this but recycling/disposing of things properly isn't a big ask either. Certain things shouldn't be forced on everyone just because a few people can't be bothered, but I understand that some things do need to be changed for the better. Like, I cannot understand why, in my area at least (I don't know if it's the same everywhere), we have garbage pickup ever week but recycling pickup every other week.
Load More Replies...I think it depends on where you go, in America they definitely do, but when I went to Vietnam almost everywhere served drinks with paper straws and they did not. the only difference was that they were thinker and more sturdy
You know you can get glass or stainless steel straws and carry your own instead of paper OR plastic
After peeling off the tamper proof plastic and finding something sharp enough to actually break break the seal on the wax saturated thick cardboard or that shiny silver pouch…..
Paper straws are useless. Metal straws are reusable and you can clean them. I bought some from ebay, in rainbow colours. They come with a little brush to clean after use. This purchase was about five years ago and I still have/use them daily.
Try bamboo straws.. They are biodegradable, but they do not dissolve in your drink. I am a very slow coffee drinker, but my bamboo straw lasts beautifully no matter how long it takes me to drink the coffee. The straw is still good even after I reheated or had a second cup. I once did the experiment of washing the straw with a straw brush, drying it and using it the next day. Bamboo straw worked fine through more coffee. And bamboo straws are very biodegradable. Paper straws being flimsy is not an excuse for using plastic. And I do understand wanting a straw.
Yet funny enough, both the cup and lid of my drink are still plastic.
Paper straws never degrade in my drink though. Am I lucky or just doing something different?
I hate them in my mouth. Nails down a chalkboard with the paper straws 😭🥺
When I was a chid, we had paper straws which did NOT collapse when wet. Apparently we also no longer have the technology which got us to the moon, despite the *massive* advances in computing hardware since. So I am drawn to the conclusion that we are NOT as smart as we were 50 years ago. SCARY!
I use a new one with ever sip to avoid this. The companies will stop when this costs 30 times as much as plastic!
1.) congratulations on being extremely wasteful, and 2.) the cost is not the problem, the environmental impact of single-use plastic is.
Load More Replies...Paper straws were horrid back in the 60s-70s. Why would anyone think they would be great now.
Drink faster...or don't use a straw. Def don't use a straw in a lid designed for strawless use.
I'm assuming the down votes are for the "girl" bit, 'cos the three year old is spot on.

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.
Load More Replies...Most have nothing to do with the topic of the post and this post is a repeat repeat repeat. Grr
Sad thing is I have seen more then half of these in other "lists". The bot that runs this place is getting stupid again.
Load More Replies...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.

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/
