Being a woman, we have to deal with a lot of BS. We know that there are men out there who will take one look at us and be unable to hold themselves back from mansplaining the most obscure sh*t to us, and we basically just have to take it. If we try to clap back, their fragile egos might not be able to take it.

Now that I think of it, a good question to measure who will be a good mate could be: What are your thoughts on mansplaining?

Their answer will say a lot. *Warning though, they may mansplain mansplaining to you.

These weekly mansplaining Tweets really show how many women had their patience tested this past week. Stay strong girlies. Our cute little brains probably can't take much more.

Falling into or being placed into a coma is scary stuff. Hovering between life and death isn't something that anyone would undergo out of choice, but it's still a fascinating concept for people to comprehend. Obviously one can never know what it's like unless they've experienced it themselves, but unfortunately plenty of people have been there. A Reddit thread asking people to describe their experiences of being in a coma has shed some light on the scary realities of being in such a vulnerable position. Here are some of the responses.

Time is a funny thing; one minute it's 1995 and you're rocking big velvet scrunchies and listening to The Spice Girls and the next minute you're getting annoyed at teenagers who play their music too loud on the bus. Welcome to your 30s, where the 90s are over 20 years old. HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?! It seems like it's not just us; a Twitter thread asking people in their 30s to reveal unexpected things about being their age has revealed that old age has apparently come early. Welcome to the age where people half your age are dressing the way you did 30 years ago, only now it's vintage.

The joys of having kids are endless. For all the painful months of pregnancy, the long nights of no sleep, and clearing up all their mess, it's still a beautiful and miraculous experience to watch them grow into their own little independent people. And hopefully, you feel the sacrifices you made are worth it for all the love you feel. But it's also normal to miss the life you left behind before they came along, and the Instagram account Got Toddlered shows just how true that is for some people. By putting before and after having kids pictures side by side, they really capture how drastically life changes once kids come along. 

We all know someone who lives in their own little world; the person who thinks that the universe revolves around them and their needs. You know the type. They're pretty annoying and difficult to be around. Whether they are super rich with no concept of the value of money, or they think they can behave however they like towards others, some people are seriously out of touch with reality. People on Reddit are sharing the most severe cases of this as seen in other people the responses are pretty shocking. How do some people get off?! Read on and be amazed!

Instagram, and social media in general, is an illusion of perfection. The flawless models, the beautiful lighting, and the seemingly perfect lives conveyed in the pictures are all fake. And if you ever wondered how influencers get their pictures looking so immaculately perfect, American photographer Geo Leon posts behind the scenes of how he achieves these perfect photos. He shows the camera work, the poses, the props, the models, and the editing that goes into one picture, to show how not everything is as it seems. Check out some of his incredible work below. 

Sometimes we order things from the internet and what we receive in the post is exactly the same as we saw advertised online. Other times, it's really really not. These pictures of the expectation vs reality of online shopping prove that you shouldn't believe everything you see online.

It might shock you to learn that Hollywood has set unrealistic expectations for many of life's events, including, as it turns out, what it's like to be put under anesthetic before surgery. One guy's hilarious tweet about his experience of being sedated has gone viral and hundreds of people commended with their own encounters with anesthetists. Check out some of the best responses below and then read some of the funny things people have said under anesthesia.

Media sure likes to twist things up...

Artist, comedian or other things extraordinaire,Martin Rosnerhas been making comics for a while. But there is something genuinely funny and sad about his comics. They speak the truth... well in a way. Stand up Comedians usually take bits of there lives and create stories for peoples enjoyment. This is what Rosner has seemed to have done with his comics. Martin told Bored Panda, "This whole thing started because I decided to make a comic a day for two months straight. I was severely depressed for two years and failed two colleges but thanks to therapy, meds and a lot of work on myself I'm doing much better. Making these comics to me is like being able to say to my depression, 'even with you in the way I am still able to make something." And we are so glad he did! Just scroll down and see for yourself.
