There are many things a pap smear is, but pleasurable is definitely not one of them. Shoving a speculum way up there to scrape cells off the cervix in order to check them for cancer sounds like the opposite of a good time. I thought this harsh truth was common knowledge up until I came across a tweet in which a woman documents her convo with a man about pap smears at the gyno. Once she gave him some insight into what does down at a pap smear, he tried to respond in solidarity, but failed miserably, stating that it could be awkward if "they hit a spot that makes you awkwardly moan." Yep, yikes. Scroll down for the hilarious responses of the Twitter sphere. 

Society might have come a long way in terms of gender equality, but we still have a long way to go regarding gender stereotypes. Taking a toy or object that is no more useful for girls or boys, but making it pink or blue and marketing it toward one gender, can have many negative impacts on how children see the world and shape their identities. It risks reinforcing archaic or harmful generalizations about the behaviors and characteristics attributed to women and men, which, in 2021, shouldn't fly. These pictures of pointlessly gendered objects prove how much companies are profiting off these ridiculous pink and blue marketing strategies. And when you're done scrolling, here are some more objects which were victims of gender stereotyping. 

The fact that women have to go through their painful periods once a month should be illegal. Ain't nobody got time to go through that kind of pain on a monthly basis. If the intense cramps and blood rushing out of your uterus weren't already enough, we also have to be bloated and emotional. The whole ordeal is worn out already in my opinion. We should be trying something new at this point. The women of Twitter have had it up to here with their period struggles, and are set on letting the whole world know. Here are this week's most relatable tweets about having to undergo your period once a month. 

In the 1776 US Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson famously wrote 'We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal.' Looks like old Tom forgot to include women in the declaration. No worries, homie - we ended up getting that equality a whole bunch of years later. However, in the workplace, we still got a long way to go. On a Reddit thread, A Reddit user asked women about things their male coworkers did that they would have been fired for, and the responses were pretty crazy. Scroll down to widen your eyes in disbelief at some of these wild workplace stories. 

Ever since Megan Thee Stallion rapped the legendary line "can't talk right now, I'm doing hot girl sh*t," the world was never the same. Now girls across the globe are doing hot girl sh*t on the daily - whatever that means - and making it known in their Instagram captions. The cool thing about hot girl sh*t is that you could make it whatever you want it to be. Naturally, the Twitter-sphere is all over this trend, capturing it in concise but hilarious tweets. Check 'em out below, and keep that hot girl sh*t game strong! 

Unless you live under a rock, you're well aware that March is Women's History Month. I gotta say that I personally love a month dedicated to little old me and my feminist ferocity.  Because I haven't done anything particularly notable (YET), I wanted to compile a list of women that completely changed the course of history. Maybe I can steal their ideas because copying is the best form of flattery, right? Perhaps you'll gain some inspo from these incredible ladies too. Scroll down for some great historical female bada**es. 

With every Women's History Month comes a wave of stories of incredibly amazing and strong women of past and present. I don't know about you guys, but sometimes I feel like I can't keep up with the stamina and drive of all these awe-inspiring ladies. What's a lazy girl to do every March? Bingewatch the best feminist TV shows - duh! Women support other women, so it's pretty much your obligation during Women's History Month. Scroll down for the best TV shows to enjoy throughout the month.  

I'm a man, but I'm also a feminist. It's the 21st century, and you females deserve to be treated like human beings! We're not heathens anymore, we're civilized and we should have equality for men AND women. I'm talking about the right to vote, I'm talking about the right to work alongside men, I'm talking about the right to decide what you do with your own body. The one frustrating thing about being a male feminist is that I talk all the time about this stuff, but women are always really weird about it. Like, I told a girl at a party the other day that I think men should do housework sometimes, and she actually had the nerve to roll her eyes at me. I was trying to advocate for her gender and she didn't even give me a smile! So as someone who genuinely cares about women's rights, I just wanted to let you girls know all the amazing things I'm doing for you.

So here is a new haul of memes that make fun of all things feminine but will empower you at the same time.

Picture the scene: you're in the car with your partner, on your way to a party. You're in a fight; the ignoring each other, hating each other's guts type of fight. You're seething. You want to kill him. The sound of his breathing is making you want to throw yourself out of the car. He will be sleeping on the couch tonight. Before you know it, you've arrived at your destination, and you realize, in horror, that it's time to get out. You say goodbye to the bliss of sitting there in awkward silence and compose yourself, ready to be sociable with other humans. As you walk to the front door of wherever it is you're going, you bask in the last 30 seconds of silence. You ring the doorbell, plaster on a fake smile, and play the happy couple shtik for the rest of the evening. That is until you get back in the car, where you can ignore each other again. Daniella London Dekel captures this utterly relatable moment that all couples go through in this funny comic.

As a woman, I appreciate a meme that speaks to my soul. I'm talking about the memes that trash men, that reassure me that my hormonal outbursts are normal, and that make me feel better about my makeup obsession. And if you're anything like me, you'll appreciate them too. So here is a fresh batch of memes for women you'll relate to on a cellular level. You're welcome!
