When life gives you lemons, it helps to laugh about it and let’s just say that life has dealt some women a fair share of the yellow citrus fruits. With the everyday trials from gender pay gaps to sexual harassment, women everywhere fight to advance themselves with their perseverance and a great sense of humor. As the era of damsels in distress is long over, the ladies from this list have baked the best lemon pies, that no male comedian could ever top in a hilarious jokes bake-off.
Bored Panda has collected a list of witty and funny Tumblr posts from the funniest people also known as women, that so perfectly encapsulate the everyday nonsense we go through using our favorite medium - inappropriate jokes (yes, there are quite a few bra complaints and life hacks). Men, if you read these stories some of them may come as a surprise to you, but to answer your question, yes, this is the kind of stuff women think about/go through.

I get paid the same amount as my male colleagues doing the same job. Am I just lucky?
Men are already angry. You think they voted for Trump because they thought he was smart? THey thought he had balls. jokes on them: big deficit and loss of basic benefits...as they twirl into layoffs and lower wages.
This nonsense again? It's been empirically proven over and over and over that the whole 70 cents on the dollar thing is nonsense. The pay gap is so narrow that it's within the margin of error. How nobody takes the time to actually research the topic instead of parroting the stat is beyond me. Here's the kicker: if it was cheaper to hire females, WHY WOULD BUSINESSES HIRE MEN?!?!?!?!
The pay gap is a myth. Women are paid less over the course of their careers due to several factors - leaving the workforce to bear children, being less aggressive, not asking for raises, not asking for a high enough initial salary during the interview process, not asking for promotions... If women were so cheap, workplaces would be full of women - it would be a good business practice to help the bottom line. Women are trained from a young age to be gentle, meek, and quiet and that's not how you get ahead on the career ladder. Ps - I work in a male dominated tech field and make a very competitive salary. I'm also gearing up for paid parental leave (because I wouldn't work at a company that didn't have it). I have gotten two promotions in 3 years, and 3 raises in addition to my yearly percentage raise. Standards, ladies. Get some. You're worth more thank you think, so ask for it. Ask for way more than you're worth and know they will negotiate downward from there.
That male/female pay thing has been debunked for a long time. So tired of that old saw being thrown up by the uninformed
Instead of asking for disadvantage for men rather challenge the dark sides of capitalism. But wait, that requires stepping out of the comfort zone...
There is no perfect system. There is always going to be social and economical differences among the population. Capitalism is the best so far. It is by no means perfect, but it's evil pales in comparison to the horrors of Socialism/Communism.
Load More Replies...Debunked so many times. I live in a country where by law jobs are given to women just for being women. Enterprises, agencies etc.. are forced to hire women just for being women.... gender over talent...super cool. So is the "gender gap", different choices are made, different carreers....you can not just put together the whole women earnings and the men ones and see the differences because we do not choose the same things,the same carreers, we don´t make the same decisions an do do not have the same preferences or concerns. It is just not fair to protest in modern countries for this when things are not like that. It has happened to me to have a female work partner who ears more than me for the same exact job..., oh my god justice justice! well, she earned more than me on her previous job so to change from one to another, the offer had to be better...negotiation, maybe more experience...due to CIRCUNSTANCES...plus women tend to prefer family over work.Stop comparing just on gender. Sick!
Great thing about being a public employee, all of our salaries are posted online as public information. I know everyone the same level as me gets paid the exact same amount as me.
Yeah, this whole thing is WAY blown out of proportion. By and large in the U.S., people are by by seniority and experience, not gender.
The wage gap is over a lifetime, not necessarily an hourly basis. Women have to take time off to have children and are more likely to then take time off to care for the children and their elderly relatives. Also, they are shut out of male dominated fields, like IT.
In the UK that was suggested for BBC staff as men are/were definitely getting the higher salary.
Yes, also Birmingham city council a few years back, and they had to back pay people, which was the right thing to do. These institutions are bastions of socialism and so are moral and financial sick puppies. As other people have said, if it were more cost effective to hire women over men, then why would any company pay men more? I have never worked in or had people working for me where there was a difference in pay based on gender.
Load More Replies...I got a low paying job (as a man) and I know how it feels to earn less sexism shouldn’t even exist anymore we’re all equal (besides race and gender but still all human)
This whole wage gap caused by choices? I believe that causes most of the gap, which means WOMEN NEED BETTER CHOICES! They need access to daycare, they need husbands who actually do half the household work, they need the "feminized" jobs to gain status, they need society to get their s**t together and limit them then to "polite" or "b***h". Society needs an overhaul!
Yeah - women don't get paid less than men. If they did, every company would 100% women. Women make less over the course of their lifetimes for a variety of reasons- leaving the workforce to have children, being less aggressive for starting salary/raises, being less aggressive for more responsibility, or taking more responsibility but not getting paid for it....just to name a few. Know what you're worth and always ask for 20% over so when the inevitably negotiate you downward, you end up where you want to be. And stop being a victim - that helps too.
At my last job, I got paid less than the males who came into my field of work after me. As a matter of fact, I recommended them for the vacant position. When they told me how much they were paid, I was livid. Turns out, the HR director is an a*****e and doesn't believe that women work harder than men. I earned my way to where I was and was asked to join the department I was in by the head of that department. To be shorted after all my hard work and dedication, there was no other choice but to leave as soon as anything decent came along. I was lucky to have been presented the opportunity to work for my current employer. I had no problem shutting down the HR director when he offered to match anything I was being offered to keep me on board.
I've never in my life (I'm 70) been paid less than a man doing the same job. Not once.
actually, by law, teachers in California do...and yes, I am mad...
I don't see woman working in s****y coal mining jobs, or in army, or construction jobs where high mortality rates happens and you get s****y payment and literally may die. Or any of feminism movement that talks about "equality" mention about staff like that, that woman should also do that kind of jobs. İf this job has to be done. But hey we are equal right. Yet woman still want that man has to pay bills, has to be kind, open door, bla bla. Stop being one sided if you gonna talk about equality make your arguments right. Tired of hearing this bs all the time. This feminism bs isn't about equality let's accept that. And you all can't see longer effects on society and social norms and future family impacts. But when you will realise it would be already late. Just saying, but hey who am I right, you all know better always, right. Cause woman is smarter and stronger now.
It is illegal to pay someone less for the same amount of work because of their gender. Why is this lie still alive when it has been debunked so many times by financial analysts and real statistics. I don't believe it.
The concept of a wage gap has been disproved over and over and over. But sure run with the lie. Why not.
Sure. I might be happy working part time in an easy non-STEM job after being out of the workforce for years.
O FFS stop with the gap alreayd. It's been debunked way too mqny times. Let the myth rest in peace
This is a result of one of the many lies that the MSM has been spreading for many years..i have been working for almost the past 30yrs..and have NEVER seen a female colleague working in the same position making less than me...ever!!
THAT'S IT EVERYONE! Pack it up!!! Brandon says he has never seen it, so it must not exist!! Nothing to see here....if it were the truth, he would have personally experienced it...but he hasn't, so it MUST BE false for everyone working in every company, ever.
Load More Replies...NO it hasn't. Proven time and time again. What do you read?
Load More Replies...why isn't this one higher? great education for children :) they mostly repeat what their authorities say without even thinking about the issue. Someone said it's wrong, therefore it has to be wrong.
I hate the pads commercials. All the happy girls in FREAKIN' WHITE JEANS!!!! NO! I wear all black when I am on my period and still freak out that there will be a stain somewhere. And most of the time I want to curl in my bed and die basically.
If men want to stop abortions they should stop having unprotected sex, women can orgasm over and over and over and there are no unwanted babies created. It's women's bodies at stake but it's men's pride causing the problem. If men had to deal with the consequences of unwanted births this debate wouldn't be one
Relatable for the men with long hair too :) Hate it when this happens. Usually I just bust out a new holder at that point
Yeah great threat, but I'd never be able to pull it off if I actually was on my period. I'd be sobbing in a puddle of blood shoving chocolate up my mouth and wishing I was a boy.
The tablecloth story reminds me of an old woman who used to insist that you should never serve a leg of lamb for dinner "because it gives men ideas." Some people are odd.
Ah, yes. I remember the day they invented out the first woman. T'was the year 1990 and men wanted to create a creature of darkness. A fearful being with immense power. Thus, the woman was born.
What really bothers me is not being able to walk alone at night. I love nighttime and walking around at 1 AM alone would be amazing.
There is one specific model of skinny jeans I wear. If they stop producing them, I will start a riot.
When I watched TV as a child I often thought there was something off about me, because I couldn't relate to most of the stuff they presented as "normal woman things". Things became much more clearer when I found out most other women didn't agree either and all that was written by men.
You know, as amusing as most of these are I feel like there have been too much "tumblr" articles on BoredPanda lately. I've seen most of this s**t and if I wanted tumblr humour I'd go to tumblr.
I think I have a problem, its 1:00 a.m. and i just scrolled through 203 posts reading every single one of them.
The first half I laughed til I cried - then sloooowly they got worse and worse. And why the 5-6 repeats?
