This Instagram account, “Women's Humor," offers its followers jokes about typical situations in women's lives that they find most troublesome. Even though the page is tailored for females, it’s evident that pretty much everyone, regardless of what pronouns they use, can find these jokes relatable and fun. So scroll down to check them out, and don’t forget to upvote your favorites.
While you’re at it, make sure to check out a conversation with the person behind the Instagram account “Woman’s Humor,” who kindly agreed to tell us more about it.

amen sis... It's a perfect a...hole filter not to adapt to the expectations
Nah, my wrap around skirt came untied on our first date when I offered him to come in for a beer. 22 years later he's still here.
The Woman’s Humor has evolved into quite a big project with a massive social media presence that exceeds its Instagram page created in 2015. Currently, it has over 1 million followers on Facebook and 983.3K of them on Twitter. Meanwhile, on Instagram, it has 183k fans who follow them for their relatable and high-quality jokes.
Bored Panda reached out to the person behind these accounts to learn more about them.
Their mission and purpose for these pages are quite straightforward: “Just posting funny memes!” They simply hope that their audience will leave their page with a smile or a chuckle that makes people’s time online a bit more awesome.
When asked about the name of the page, they assured us that their content isn’t just for women - it’s for everyone. “We're all about making stuff that anyone can enjoy,” they added.
Further inquiring if they believe there’s something like women’s humor, they told Bored Panda that it’s subjective and that each person has their own definition of funny. “Everyone's got their own flavor of fun,” they said.
Did I ever tell you that I work in software support? We are constantly being tested on phishing scams. Guess which had the biggest success, click here to see the puppy found outside the office......
I once hopped into the car of a stranger I just met at a greek taverna who said he had puppies. All dark, went across haöf the island (Folegandros) and, indeed, he had a bunch of cute puppies and no hidden agenda. Cuddled puppies, had friut, bread and olive oil, he deove me back later.Totally insane.
Im not a cat person but there’s always the occasional cat that’s not a complete a*****e that makes me question that, it’s usually when they’re kittens so yeah probably

I dunno - we have a few volunteers for this very situation lol
Load More Replies...I am sure the only thing that saved me from being murdered was when I talked about my car being lo-jacked by my mom!!
I tried to tell my daughter about "stranger danger", and she understood and totally agreed, never go along with strangers. Until I mentioned "if someone told you they have kittens in their van?" She told me that then the answer would be "show me the kittens first or I won't go in the van". It took quite a few minutes of heavy discussion to convince her otherwise. I am _very_ happy we live in a veeeery peaceful part of the world (Northern Norway)
Puppies are the nuclear option. I think she could have said, "I'm a serial killer and I'm going to kidnap you, so come jump in the back of the 'Free Candy' van ' - there's a puppy waiting for you". And, really, at that point, there's nothing you could do...
As much as we’d like to completely put differences between men and women aside, unfortunately, women find it much harder to find their place in the comedy industry. A comedian, producer, and writer, Allie Loukas, in her piece “Exploring the Gender Imbalance in Comedy,” mentions the unfortunate phrase “Women aren’t funny” that she has heard too many times.
As she was marketing a film with a female comedic lead, she didn’t expect it to be so difficult in the year 2019. Loukas was baffled by this, saying “Funny is funny, right? Well, the answer to that, I think, can be boiled down to something along the lines of society has basically conditioned us to find reasons to think women are not funny.”
That's exactly what this one sounds like to me too.
Load More Replies...But it's also okay to want to wear make up and do your hair. Just let all women be themselves.
We are not unique and do not want or need to feel singled out. I don't understand why VUWS is mentioned every forking time someone is saying they are doing things differently from what is expected from the cultural norm
Load More Replies...I just let my body wake me up at 11 and spend 30 minutes on it anyway
I used to be very high maintenance. Nails always done, full blowouts every morning, styled outfit, heels most days, full face of makeup. Pandemic saved me from that. Now I wear athleisure outside of the house or gym sometimes 😱 I stopped painting my nails. And found more minimal approaches to beauty that don’t take nearly as much time. It’s such a relief.
After my water broke, I drove myself to the hospital too, because my hubby did not have a driving licence. Even stopped on the way to get some sandwiches ;-)
We don't have a car but I woke up when my water broke with my first baby, phoned the taxi, had a quick shower, packed the bag and went to hospital. This was 12 hours after finishing the antenatal course - baby was very early but healthy!
My Mum drove herself, too, as nobody could drive her when she was in labour with me because my brother had to be looked after. She had a c-section and was put completely under.....she woke up to two police officers by her bed because my Grandad had reported her to the police, because she was driving whilst in labour haha!
And suddenly, lasting 47 seconds is something to be applauded. You women have got to make up your minds.
She explains that women in comedy have been criticized much more harshly than men. In general, she believes their experiences aren’t normalized the way men’s are. That’s why she decided to make a film about a girl figuring out her life without a dating component. “It is not important to the story I wanted to tell. We are women. We have funny stories to tell, and we don’t always have to have a date to tell them,” she adds.
I took my parents on a day trip on the Orient express, we were told to turn our phones off, just before doing that I messaged my colleagues "morning peasants"

My former salon made you fill out a form and wait a day if you were going to do a major transformation because they didn’t want people doing exactly this in a post-breakup mood and then majorly regretting it and blaming the salon
My mum walking into the salon in 1994 demanding a buzz cut and her standard hair guy going "Court hearing when"
I don't understand, if you cut all your hair off how can you dye it blonde?

It's like deodorant. Everybody knows about it, too few people use it.
Load More Replies...I expect people to have a tiny bit of empathy. But they don't even know what it is.
I like the Stoic philosophy that basically says you cannot change the fact that most of the world is populated by jerks and idiots. All you can change is your own way of reacting to them. So there really is no good reason to get riled up by any human. They are just being an average human.
In order for people to have common sense they would have to commonly be out in the world to make sense of it and not be on their phone.
Despite trying to combat such stereotypes, her movie was still categorized as a Sex and the City or Real Housewives type of thing. Similar to the all-female Ghostbusters reboot, which was bombarded by internet trolls, who were very pleased to see its trailer being the most disliked on YouTube ever. Loukas says the same goes for other comedic movies or shows starring a woman. “The averages with women are almost always down-rated, which has little to do with quality and much more to do with gender disparity.”
Except this ons seems to have joints so you can... potentially fold it 90 degrees so that exact situation doesn't happen? Wild hypothesis, have never encountered this in real life and I'm Dutch (I make tons of mashed potatoes/stamppot in winter).
You are waaaay over thinking how the level of pissed off only this can achieve happens, my friend. Don't over think it, just trust that it happens. Just like I trust that every utensil I have in my utensil drawer will wait until I need it before it grows 6 arms as well as nails the damn drawer shut from the inside.
Load More Replies...I have a ceramic vase full of kitchen utensils like ladles, spoons, and spatulas. I gave up on the drawer idea long ago.

I will settle for being physically able to work while at age 120, but retired at 60.
Load More Replies...Oh no!! I am 55 years old and have been disabled since I was 50 (multiple health problems). I'm already depressed that I have to live another 30+ years. 120??? No thanks!!
My plan is to live to be 125 at least. And to be fully functioning. Not as a vegetable.
Live until the age of 120 is very different from working until the age of 120. Retirement is going to, at that point, need to lock in at 80 and not budge.
Work a few more years, to help put food on other people's tables, while I am mentally, physically and spiritually exhausted? 🤔 No thanks!
Recently, we’ve witnessed this exact situation during the 2024 Oscars. Though Greta Gerwig’s Barbie was the biggest blockbuster of 2023 and the highest-grossing movie ever directed by a woman, she wasn’t even nominated for best director. However, the film had no trouble making it into the Best Picture category, proving that comedies, especially female-led ones, have more hurdles to overcome.
This is an interesting observation, but the "obvious" conclusion is the wrong one. :-) Many careful peer-reviewed studies have proven that ALL these individuals HAVE been told to shut the blankety up; many times; they are just genetically incapable of HEARING that. The REAL conclusion is that: Any statement containing "it's obvious" - is probably faulty.
Indeed. But their species has a unique ability to break your heart into a million sorry pieces if you hurt their feelings so I take no chances. I'd rather be "why'd" to death than face a quivering bottom lip.
Load More Replies...Idk have you ever met a woman who thinks what she has to say is far more important than what the guy has to say??
I don't understand how this could occur. This is clearly meant for someone close to the texter - do they not have their number saved? How do you text a wrong number? Is this a US thing?
Yes, seems a bit strange to not have the number of your baby's parent saved.
Load More Replies...If someone else has my baby, they're going to be in my contacts. Ffs.
And you spend your life thinking that that's only a joke, until you reach that level and realize that wise people have been telling you precisely that your whole life and you just didn't get it.
Load More Replies...The final level of being smart is just knowing that you don't know anything.
Fair, but toxic to do in a relationship when you forced the other person to pick up all the slack
But, why would you believe your partner didn't know how to do ANYTHING??? And, if they kept insisting they didn't know, then I'd show em once and tell them even the 5 year old can do it.
Load More Replies...No in class someone will ask me "What are we doing?" Or "Can you explain this to me?" And I'll be like "I don't even know what in Olympus going on" I know how to do all the subjects and am in all advanced classes. I just don't like stupid people. Because then they get mad at me for "not teaching right"
I have a resting idiot face. Over time, I have begun to embrace the very low expectations people have of me.
In order to solve this issue, Loukas believes that all we really need to do is support and believe in each other and realize that being a woman isn’t easy, but it can be funny. She encourages us to give an equal chance to everyone who wants to make people laugh. “I honestly think the more we begin to talk about these issues, the better it will be,” she adds. To her, now seems like the perfect time to combat existing stereotypes, as there has never been a generation more willing to fight gender imbalance than the current one.
I gave up on fresh veggies. I just use frozen now. Turns out they actually keep nutrients better cause they are flash frozen closer to when they are picked.
True!! But nothing beats fresh tomato and onion and cucumber so those are pretty much the only veggies I buy fresh, plus one or two other veggies that I choose to swap each week for health reasons :) can you tell I got a raise this year haha I’m spending big dollars here
Load More Replies...Finishing your greens and vegetables is really easy when you have guinea pigs.
Wow! Both veggies? That takes planning! Good job for your achievements!! Try again next week and add another scheduled achievement! That might make you feel old!!
nope, never happened. why are we all commenting on a blank post?
Load More Replies...I get offended when I'm accused of anything. I'm fine if I'm ASKED if I did it, however.
Oh no. No, no, no, no. I will Dateline the HELL out of a situation like forensics is my job and my name is Keith Morrison if I'm accused of something I did not do.
Unfortunately, too often, the phrase “women aren’t funny” completely puts them off expressing humor on a public stage. As a result, we see more men on stage, further feeding into the stereotype. To encourage them, Loukas reminds them that they don’t have to enter comedy on patriarchal terms or follow the ideal of what a funny female is. Their stories and experiences can be valuable, witty, and relatable to everyone; all they have to do is share them.
Salad is made from plants. Chocolate is made from cocoa, which is a plant. Therefore, chocolate is salad.
Don't forget warm potato tomato salad and oil dressing... fries with ketchup

Exercise, yes. Eating healthy seems to mess with something in my system that is not suitable for regular use...
I'd probably DM her and say, "Don't beat yourself up. We've all been there, girl." Put that good karma out there.
Listen, if you let me into your socials, I'm going to look at all your photos dating back to the Mesozoic era.
On the bright side, studies have shown that women’s humor tends to be unique, personal, specific to the situation, and based on their experiences. They succeed at incorporating comedic effects authentically, which often means they modify the content and the way it’s presented to fit their own style and identity. Additionally, defying gender stereotypes can work in their favor as an element of surprise. Because the audience wasn’t expecting them, they tend to perceive them more positively after they succeed, which further motivates the speaker to do their best.
I also like "earty" smells. Why dont they make deoderant unisex?
Load More Replies...Same. And I’ve never found that women’s deodorant wasn’t up to the task.
Load More Replies...A PSA for all women. Buy men's products. They're always less expensive, they generally work better, and they don't come in pandering pink.
I even wear men perfume if I am in the mood.. C'mon who wants to smell like a cute disney princess if you feel like a badass godess
I use "AXE Dark Temptation" because it smells like chocolate (LYNX for our friends from the Commonwealth)
The same happens with other men's stuff that last much longer than women's;we're still second hand consumers.
I always use men's deodorant - sometimes they don't even have scents just what they imagine are powerful man colours like danger zone red and hunter green.
The ones at Target show your whole body. I hate them!
Load More Replies...When this happens I make a face at the camera. Might as well just run with it, after all.
Let’s also not forget that there are so many impressive ladies out there, like the stand-up comedian, writer, and actress Ali Wong, who was named one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of 2023 and recently won a Golden Globe for outstanding lead actress for her role in the Netflix comedy-drama series Beef. This achievement made her the only Asian woman to win a lead acting Emmy.
Her work explores themes of cultural identity, motherhood, and sexuality from a feminist perspective. She diligently honed her craft, performing as many as nine sets a night in comedy clubs around New York in her early career. Women like her should be the inspiration for those who dream of ever stepping on the comedic stage, instead of being discouraged by gendered stereotypes.
I was once following in self-pity, and my then 14-year-old nephew looked at me, and a complete seriousness, said "but it's Taco Tuesday. All your troubles go away on Taco Tuesday." You know what? You're right, kid. You're right
Get one that folds up into itself ( ikea has them) and put it in your purse.
Load More Replies...I have enough "bags for life" in my pantry to last me several reincarnations...
I think I quite literally have at least 36 reusable bags and I forget every damn time
Me: No thanks. I'll just carry it in my arms. ... Drops everything in the car park.
But those are for trash cans, the cat litter, and other small tasks at home. Do people actually take them to the store to reuse? I just collect them endlessly until there's a home chore reason to use them.
No, not the plastic ones. They're talking about the cloth reusable kind. I save the plastic ones for cat litter too. Stores in my area now charge 5 cents a bag for plastic so they need to have a second purpose after I bring them home. :)
Load More Replies...I was a volunteer at a hospital where we had to park in the outermost parking lot. I raised this issue with admin because here we are working our butts off for free and forced to trek a significant distance in all sorts of weather. Paid off. We got our own portion of spaces in a lot that was closer to the entrance.
Omg I had a job like this. It passed me off because I'd end up being late sometimes as I'd spend 10 mins waiting for someone to leave so I could park. Most of the time I was late because I didn't wanna be there but that's beside the point
Overcrowded parking at work, you have a good chance of having your vehicle dinged or scratched.
Every time I see them I still delightedly crow "cows"! Like a 6 year old. I'm 53.
Somehow I've (a 45 yr old) acquired the habit of yelling "MOOO!" whenever I'm in the car alone and I see cows. Waiting to see how long it takes me to do it with witnesses...
It's the law in some states. (Or so I tell my nieces and nephews. Can't remember the standup comic who was talking about this, and said, "Do cows look at us and go 'Holy $%@# that cow is driving a car!"
Load More Replies...I recommend 'Someone Like You' with Ashley Judd and Hugh Jackman. It's an in depth look at the "Cow Theory' of relationships.

It's they're down for whatever as long as it's at home or something really cool to them outside of the home. Good luck!
There should be a genre called "background ambient noise so you can scroll through your phone or fall asleep"
Disney+ has this. If you look for "zenimation" you'll find different ambient sounds like water, landscapes, nature, etc.

I am not only not pregnant, but i am also child free by choice (don't hate kids, in fact i love them enough to know *I* should not be ANYONES mother) have one of these and they are magic.
No but for real, so worth it, it’s like a big cozy nest and a hug wherever you want it. I have a ex-bf with one and I’ve considered going back just for the pillow. I’m going to buy my own on Amazon, they’re around $75 CAD if you can afford one

I get so mad at 'future extrovert self' for agreeing to plans and then having a panic attack when the day comes to do the thing.
I just say no, that won't work for me, sorry. If they're rude enough to press but I still like them I'll say cause I have an autoimmune disorder and I'm not feeling well (mostly true) and if I don't really like them I'll just say, cause I don't want to, sorry.
I'm really, really good at saying no. When someone offers a work around, I'll stand there mute until they get uncomfortable, then repeat, "no".
I hate that! Obviously I want to stay home in the comfort of my soft blankets. Ewwwe people! Just sayin.
