You have probably heard this at least once before, but men and women get treated quite differently. I think it's called inequality? I don't know, it's so embedded into our culture it's hard to even recognize it sometimes.
Seriously, you can see the inequality in almost every context. It's the kind of thing where, once somebody points it out to you, you can't go back to ignoring it. This woman shared on Tumblr how it is especially apparent in the media.
Okay, it is seriously getting really difficult to understand whether marketers are just incorporating sex into their every project, or we are all just way too quick to see erotic things in totally innocent objects. Can someone please come up with a decent explanation? I'm really starting to believe it's the former. So many of these photos just seem way too real. And I believe marketers do it on purpose. Yes, sex sells, but where is the line?
If you see some dirty images too, just remember it's not you, it's the world.
It's amazing how long people can go believing a 'fun fact' they heard once, without ever actually looking into it. My parents used to tell me that drinking soda would stunt my growth, and I thought, "Oh sh*t, okay, thanks for the heads-up," and then proceeded to avoid soda at all costs and silently judge anyone who dared take a sip. It wasn't until I was much older, and had already completely stopped growing vertically, that I realized this was straight-up BS. Though this is what parents do, lying is easier than explaining.
Though it is important to note that not all of the dumb things we say come from our parents. There are some things we need to take responsibility for, like being airheads.
If you've ever come across someone with a lot of questionable 'knowledge,' you'll probably enjoy this Reddit thread.
Nobody wants to live with regrets, but we all have them. It's nearly impossible to avoid them, because every time we do one thing, we're missing out on another experience. Plus, the grass is always greener on the other side. Those of us that spent college partying and getting bad grades regret not trying hard enough, and those of us who spent every Friday night in the library after-hours regret not partying enough. You can't win! Unless of course, you believe that everything happens for a reason, and you accept that every decision led you to where you are today, and that is exactly where you are meant to be... but that's some deep introspective sh*t.

How do you define a 'shower thought'? Subreddit r/showerthoughts have summed it up quite lovely, "The human brain is a decidedly odd machine, often prone to glitches, malfunctions, and internal errors (like inexplicably deciding that raisins are an acceptable addition to cookies). However, within the confines of that chaos, something intriguing occasionally occurs: A seemingly mundane detail about the world will suddenly become more interesting, having been viewed from a slightly different perspective than usual."
So without further ado, let these steamy shower thoughts wash over you as you ponder their truths:
