30 Times Women Celebrated Their Wins, Big Or Small, Iconic Or Ironic, And Shared Them On This Page
Interview With Owner
In a world where competing with one another has been increasingly normalized, we may often find ourselves short of good words for one another, whether it’s a compliment or a boost of encouragement.
Sadly, many women are no strangers to the debilitating effect of female rivalry. This happens anywhere, from the workplace to groups of girlfriends, and often we don’t really notice it until we start questioning why a previously wonderful friendship has turned sour.
In this context, the Women Posting Their W's project, which combines both Twitter and Instagram, feels like a much-needed breath of fresh air. “I just love when women [love] celebrating wins, big or small, iconic or ironic,” says their Twitter page’s description and 354.1k followers would totally agree.
Us too! We love seeing women giving thumbs up to other women for wins of any kind in a small yet empowering gesture, so let’s see some of the best achievements that make us proud to be women.

To find out more about this wonderfully wholesome project, Bored Panda reached out to the creator behind Women Posting Their W's Instagram and Twitter pages. The author, who introduced herself as “just a woman online” told us that she is busy running her personal Twitter account and working several jobs.
“Honestly, I wasn't too interested in creating any other pages to keep up with because I don't have very much time throughout my day. But there's this Twitter account that is awful and misogynistic, @womenpostingls, that posts just tweets and stories of women just existing really as an 'L.'”
I think this is an awesome way to deal with that appalling review.
The author, who was really frustrated with that account, explained further: “He's posted things like a woman crying after not being able to conceive a child as an L, and even a woman being sexually assaulted as an L.”
Moreover, “That account has been around since October 2020, and I was hoping it'd either get suspended for the constant targeted harassment of women he posted and would send his followers after, or for his constant retweeting back and forth between that and his personal page, but unfortunately the page persisted, and I kept seeing negativity against women day after day.”
In the light of this frustration, the author of Women Posting Their W's realized it “was really time someone made a positive space for women to celebrate women. And I did it.”
When it comes to spreading the wholesome message behind the project, the author hopes to show that “we should appreciate and celebrate people more, and particularly women who continue to face harassment and abuse and misogyny throughout all walks of life, especially on the internet.”
Some people are f****d in the head to think anyone wants unsolicited sexual images.
“On my personal page, I receive threats all the time. I get unsolicited dick pics. I even got one on this account,” she said and added: “And sure, women should be celebrated on their own, and it shouldn't have to be a celebration BECAUSE of anything.”
According to the creator of Women Posting Their W's, “as long as this hate against women persists, I want to create an even stronger and louder force of positivity for women.” She concluded that “even if WomenPostingLs or misogyny disappears, if ever, this page will still be around to validate and uplift women.”
Based on the pictures I thought she married her after she transitioned. And I was like...I'm pretty sure that after 10 years she could tell that she was trans? But I guess she transitioned after the 10 years. Good for them. Everyone deserves to be loved and accepted as they are.
Yes, at first it was a couple with a man and a woman. Then the man accepted he is a woman and his wife accepted that she is gay. So now, they are a female gay couple

Do they look alike to everyone else or is it just me having a hard time telling them apart?
Does anyone else think the woman looks a little uncomfortable in these photos?
It isn't lying. Gender shouldn't matter too. What matters is that they should have caring parents, not what biological sex of one of them is. Also, they will know about it once they are old enough to have it explained to them

Edward, please just leave. You need serious mental help and it’s not anyone on this site’s responsibility to give it to you, so stop trying to get validation through attention and talk to a therapist.
I have one! Started a programmer school as the only woman with 15 male mates. First week, some guys said I was there because I was a girl. Ended as the ONLY ONE getting congratulations AND a job from the jury. But yes, being a girl was my only skill :)
The guys that said that were only there because someone had to be bottom of the class.

This post just made my day! we need more of this on BP just to empower women and show us that when we put our mind to something we achieve it no matter how long it may take us. I also find it disgusting how people can come on this post (that is supporting woman) and feel free to comment about what they're wearing and nitpicking at every little thing, grow some balls will you or stfu.
Thank you for your kind words! I totally agree we need more content that empowers women, and men!, especially when we live in such a competitive world.

Seriously this is just amazing! After graduating college, I thought I wanted to be a high school teacher. After years of working retail, going back to school and working at the same time, getting married, having a baby, and now I'm finishing my ninth year as an elementary teacher. I love my job and my daughter knows how hard I worked to get this career. I remember nursing her at 2am while typing a paper at the same time, after a shift at Walmart. It was exhausting but I don't regret it for a second!
You are a great roll model to your baby girl and whenever you feel like out of energy or that you can't do it just remember this hard time and this BIG accomplishment.
