A lot of the time we will see things on the news that make us go, "Awww." Maybe a little girl saved money to pay for her grandma's health insurance, or a father worked 4 jobs to send his daughter to college. These things seem really sweet, but there's a bigger issue here.

Sometimes things are framed to be so wholesome, but in reality, they shouldn't need to occur at all.

This Reddit thread exposes more 'wholesome' things that need a reality check.

Men and women are very different, and each one will probably always remain a mystery to the opposite sex. Especially when it comes to the struggles that each one goes through.

Read through this funny thread and see how much you agree with the points!

Her comics aim to let women know that they are not alone in their struggles because all women are going through exactly the same things. Her work is refreshing, creative, and honest, as well as totally chuckle-worthy.

Is it ridiculous that we insist on being so polite all the time? Yes. but would I change anything about it? No, because when you start pointing out the situations we put ourselves in every day, they are pretty hilarious. Twitter page Very British Problems articulates all the awkward nuances of what it means to be "so very British", and they're brilliantly accurate.
