sad but true

Being a woman is a constant challenge. We get paid significantly less and then objectified significantly more. We're always having to fight for more or less of something because we know damn well that nothing is going to be handed to us. It's amazing how much we put up with when you really think about it. Some things are so deeply instilled into societal norms that we don't even question them ourselves. Those are the scariest things, and the only people who can uncover such oppressive behaviors and call out society for their f**ked up constructs are us.

In this Reddit thread women share the messed up things they have to deal with each and every day.

Sending emails can be very overwhelming. It feels disturbingly final when you press send, and for those of us who hate proof-reading, it can be such a drag. It's so easy to clarify a mistake over text, but in emails, it's just embarrassing af for some reason. People get judged so much for how they send emails. Do you end it with "yours truly," "best," or "thanks?" What does yours truly even mean? Is this getting too romantic?

It can also be annoying when the effort put into sending an email is not reciprocated by the respondee. But the worst part, of course, is when you send the wrong thing, and it happens literally all the time. It's far too easy! Sometimes I accidentally sit on my phone and then I see that I'm about to send my boss and picture of my roommate's cat. How??

It usually is a great feeling to learn something new. Yay, more knowledge! More fun facts to share with friends and family! However, sometimes the kind of information you come by is not family-friendly in the slightest, and you have no interest in spreading it around or even thinking about it when you're alone. For every fun fact, there is a very un-fun fact. When we come into possession of such disturbing facts we are given the choice to ruin other people's innocence as well or keep it buried deep inside our mind for eternity.

Well, there's a Reddit thread that encourages people to share the creepy facts they wish they didn't know, and people definitely delivered. Don't say I didn't warn you!

Women unfortunately have to prepare themselves for a lot of situations. It's not fun, at all, but it's something a lot of us have in common. Luckily, more and more, women are encouraged to share their stories. Doing so helps make other people with similar encounters feel slightly better because they realize it is not just their 'issue.'

 It will never be okay, but at least we have more of a voice now.

One extremely courageous woman shared her story on Twitter. You may relate to it or even learn something from it. Either way, it's important that we got each other's backs because there's nothing hotter than women supporting women.

Isn't it crazy to think how much the world has changed since 2020? Not only has the world changed completely, but our humor is centered around things that literally didn't exist a year ago. We went from roasting awkward encounters at the bar to roasting awkward zoom dates. At least people on Twitter still have a rich sense of humor. Some things never change.

Those who believe in karma would say that doing good things brings more good things. It's not a religious belief, but it shows a slight trust in the universe. Personally, I think that whatever you have to tell yourself in order to keep treating people kindly sounds good to me. Karma can sure as heck take a long time though, and sometimes we can all lose patience. At least we can relate to each other on Reddit.

We all have sketchy thoughts from time to time. It is what it is, we are flawed disgusting human beings. There is no point in trying to hide it anymore! Just kidding the majority of these sound very relatable, weird, but relatable. Sometimes we can think up some crazy logic, and confession is a great way to ease off the guilt of having such thoughts. And it's madly entertaining. Seriously, I live for this stuff, weird confessions, unpopular opinions, hot-takes, they are the best.

Twitter user, @exfatalist, asked the 30-year-old's of Twitter, "what is something about aging you always thought was a trope but turned out to be true?"

As one user wrote, "straight up forgetting years." 

Years? I can barely recall an entire decade!

"Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'... into the future."

Time is moving forward so freaking fast and we CANNOT HANDLE IT. Seriously, if these 25 tweets don't freak you out even a little bit then you're either lying or having a full-blown panic attack and have yet to acknowledge it. 

Don't worry, we're currently in the denial phase ourselves, and the panic attack is an ending wave crashing down on us. Not to sound dramatic or anything. 

Advice from Boomers probably mean well but they are completely out of touch with how the world is these days. Just go up to the front desk and ask if they're hiring? Every company will tell you the same thing, "Online. Online. Online," go and submit your resume into the endless and faceless void and come to terms with the fact that you'll never hear back.

Here are 31 pieces of worthless advice from Boomers. Sorry, Boomers. Sad to say these tweets ring more than true. 

Here are some tweets about technology that is just so true, we don't know quite how to feel about it...

What we do know is that we don't like it. Twitter account Internet of Shit doesn't hold back, however. 

Ever wondered what it would be like to live in LA? Just read the posts below to find out.

These memes are just too real. Try your best not to cry scrolling through these, we almost made it halfway. Just a friendly reminder to be kind to retail workers and all other customer service related positions this holiday season (and always).

These images are so painfully accurate that it's humorous. Scroll down for some "so true" nodding and having extra air blowing out from your nose. 

Time keeps on slipping, slipping, into the future. Twitter users play, 'Without using numbers, how old are you?', and it hurts.
