It's a sad state of affairs when women, upon being asked what they would do if there were no men in the world for 24 hours, reply with "Go on walks at night," and "Feel safe, I guess." The fundamental human right to feel safe and protected is not a privilege that women are guaranteed, and something needs to change. A tweet went viral on Twitter, saying, "Saw a Tiktok that said, what would you do if there were no men on earth for 24 hours.. here was the comment section", followed by the sad eyes emoji, which was apropos because the comments are truly sad. Check out what women said they would do in a man-free world for 24 hours, highlighting the real lack of safety that women feel daily. Men, step it up, for the sake of humanity!

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.

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.
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!
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.

Ever drove yourself crazy not being able to understand the motives of a man? Well, you're not alone. There has to be a reason behind how basically every time a girl is nice to a guy it's perceived as flirting. And if god forbid a girl refers to him as her friend, BOOM, he's 'friend-zoned.' But, why? Can girls and guys just not be friends? Is it not okay to be around a guy, and laugh at his jokes, but not want to sleep with him?
So apparently there is a thread, actually a couple of threads, on Reddit that men use to express what lies they think they've been told to by women. Some of them seem pretty angry about it too, let's go through and assess these terrible falsehoods we've been spreading. It's our right as women to know what lies we are telling after all. We can change!
Everyone has secrets - it's what makes us human. But not all secrets are born equal. For some, their worst secret is that they stole a cookie from the jar when you were five-years-old. For others, it's that they murdered the cat next door. It's all relative. But a Reddit thread asking people to share their most disgusting secrets has proved that some people are truly messed up, and honestly, reading through some of these disturbing revelations makes me realize how boring my life is.
