If you ever need a stark reminder that sexism is still very much alive and well, here's a story for ya. A male employer recently posted a rant on Reddit's Am I The A—Hole, expressing his displeasure over his (by the sounds of it, very much overworked) female employee's productivity being affected by her morning sickness. Yeah, no sh*t Sherlock. Try going through one day of pregnancy, and then mansplain about what a breeze it is. He said that since she was only in her "first trimester and barely even pregnant yet," he didn't think it was "fair to other women that she was using a normal bodily function as an excuse for low productivity." Ummm OK. Death is also a 'normal bodily function,' so I'm not sure that argument holds up. The cherry on the top of his ignorant, misogynistic rant was him telling her, "This is what women fought to counteract during the feminist movement." OK, so two things are clear to me: not only does this idiot have zero comprehension of how difficult pregnancy can be, but he's completely missed the point that his dismissal of her medical issues because it's pregnancy-related, is the sexist part. As you can imagine, Redditors were quick to jump down his throat, calling him out on being the a—hole that he is. God help his wife when she is pregnant.

Being an employee means adhering to specific workplace rules and risking inevitable consequences if you don't. Included in those policies is the dress-code, which will, of course, differ depending on where you work. However, sometimes the rules aren't so clear-cut and can be left open to the employee's interpretation—for example, deciding whether or not wearing a bra is necessary. One woman faced this very problem and posted on Reddit's Am I The A**hole after receiving complaints from her new coworkers about her refusal to wear a bra in the office. She stresses that she didn't wear a bra at her previous job, her nipples weren't on show, and a sweater hid her 'large boobs,' and she was, in her opinion, entirely appropriate. Redditors, however, disagreed and argued that, although it sucks, it was unprofessional and if she didn't like the policy at her new workplace, she should find another job. What do you think?
A woman took to the popular Reddit thread, Am I The A**hole, to ask if she was right to give her husband an ultimatum when it came to his new female coworker who was infatuated with him. She was sick of the way the coworker would contact her husband, "Multiple times a day at all hours of the day and night she will call and text him for help" and felt that she was crossing all kinds of boundaries. She ended the post saying, "He can either to be married to me, or married to her, but I wasn't going to be the third wheel in my own marriage. He says he does not have feelings for her and that I am overreacting to him just wanting to help a friend. I feel otherwise. AITA?" Of course, Redditers jumped to her defense, reassuring her that she was totally within her right to call her husband out on his shady behavior. Read through her dilemma below, along with the advice she received. And always, always trust your gut when it comes to this type of behavior in relationships. Boundaries exist for a reason, and a partner who can't honor those boundaries does not respect you or your relationship.
As the old dating adage goes, good d*ck can imprison you. Take it from this lady who knows from an unfortunate personal experience! A few margaritas and a beautiful Hawaiian beach seemed like a fabulous start to any vacation hookup story...until the cops show up and you are solely responsible for ruining someone's wedding! Whoops! This cringe-worthy Sexcapade story is hilarious as it is horrifying and simply TOO good not to share with the Cheezcake community. If you have a good Sexcapade to share with us, please do so here for a chance to be (anonymously) featured!
After a long year, many single people of the world are excited about ending the awful sexual dry spell in which we were forced to endure. Sexcapdes is a column about hilarious and cringe-worthy stories of naughty sexual debauchery gone fabulously wrong! Today's Sexcapade story is one where lady's night really took a shitty turn when she attempted to bring her date home for some adult fun only to have her night be completely ruined by no one other than her furry little feline friend. Brace yourselves!
Getting your period can be very uncomfortable for teen girls. For whatever reason, we are subtly taught to be ashamed of our monthly cycle and are encouraged to hide this very pertinent part of our lives. You might think the world has made some progress in terms of celebrating womanhood, but there are still people who try to convince young girls that their period is gross, and they need to learn how to 'control it'.
We've all had those nights when we should have just stayed on the couch. Nights when that last drink - or drinks - were completely unnecessary and ultimately changed the course of your entire existence...OK, maybe that's a bit dramatic, but this, friends, is one of those nights. Today's Sexcapade story is one where a woman learns the hard way that sometimes the vagina does not know best especially when it is fed tequila. Well, not literally. Read this story of drunken sexual debauchery that turned into a really shitty situation - but like, literally.
There's no time like the present, and thankfully the present comes with modern technology - such as the wonderful vibrator. Since they were introduced into popular culture, the V has never been better, and as a result, we've never looked fresher. The people of Twitter are not ones to shy away from vibrators, and tweet hilariously clever stuff about it on a daily basis. Scroll down for the best tweets about vibrators we saw this week.
They say that if you go searching for love, you won't find it. Instead, it's best to focus on living your best life, and the right one will present themselves in the most unexpected circumstances. But sometimes, love can manifest itself in a way you never thought possible even when you search for it. One couple who knows a thing or two about this are Twitter users @KatieKatCubs and @TBrown_80, who have just got engaged three years after meeting on Twitter. Terry replied to Katie's tweet about her despair in finding a man, telling her that the best place to find love was Twitter. He wasn't wrong! Read their crazy story below.
Having not put on a full face of makeup for the best part of a year, I jump at any opportunity to get dressed up. Or at least to feel like I've put some effort into my appearance, because how long can a girl wear sweats and have her hair in a messy bun before she goes insane? So I fully support any woman who puts on makeup to feel good about the way she looks, even if it's to stay at home. Unfortunately, not everyone agrees with me. One guy posted on Reddit's Am I The A—hole, explaining that his wife, who received some makeup as a gift, has started experimenting with different looks, adding that "she's really talented with it, and she's having a lot of fun." So far, so good.
That is until his brother "decided she must be posting pictures or sending pics to some dude or multiple dudes," aka, she must be cheating because there's no other explanation as to why she'd suddenly be wearing makeup. Of course, women only wear makeup to cheat on their partners, right? The woman's husband called his brother an "insecure, testicle grabbing, chauvinist man-baby," which obviously didn't go down well. Read the whole story below, and see how quickly Redditor's jump to her defense, commend the OP for his healthy attitude towards the entire thing and call out the toxic brother-in-law for projecting all hit sh*t onto his brother's wife.
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.
Moving to a new house is always a roll of the dice regarding what type of neighbors you'll get. You might luck out and end up living next to people who respect your privacy, don't make a loud noise, and are friendly at just the appropriate level. Or, you might land yourself nightmare neighbors who make your life a misery. Unfortunately, there isn't any way of knowing until you've moved. One woman, whose new neighbors fell into the latter category — in the form of noisy kids, decided to take action and drown out the noise by playing loud music. She posted on Reddit's Am I the As*hole, asking whether she was in the wrong for doing so.
There are many things a pap smear is, but pleasurable is definitely not one of them. Shoving a speculum way up there to scrape cells off the cervix in order to check them for cancer sounds like the opposite of a good time. I thought this harsh truth was common knowledge up until I came across a tweet in which a woman documents her convo with a man about pap smears at the gyno. Once she gave him some insight into what does down at a pap smear, he tried to respond in solidarity, but failed miserably, stating that it could be awkward if "they hit a spot that makes you awkwardly moan." Yep, yikes. Scroll down for the hilarious responses of the Twitter sphere.
Confidentiality between therapists (and all other medical professionals) and their clients is kind of a big deal, which, if breached, is cause for dismissal and removal of their medical license. I mean, if I found out my therapist had shared information discussed in our sessions with someone else, I'd be furious. But If I discovered that she'd shared it with anyone in my family, it would be a whole new level of hell. A hell which one girl found herself in when she found out her therapist had been sharing notes from their sessions with her new stepmom.
The fact that women have to go through their painful periods once a month should be illegal. Ain't nobody got time to go through that kind of pain on a monthly basis. If the intense cramps and blood rushing out of your uterus weren't already enough, we also have to be bloated and emotional. The whole ordeal is worn out already in my opinion. We should be trying something new at this point. The women of Twitter have had it up to here with their period struggles, and are set on letting the whole world know. Here are this week's most relatable tweets about having to undergo your period once a month.
We all have that one friend who just cannot stop 'sneak-bragging' about how overwhelmed they are, how they just barely have enough time to eat or sleep or exercise. Yet it seems as though they really make the time to tell you all of this, literally every single day. And of course, they never ask you about your life and your duties, because they're so cute and little compared to hers. You couldn't possibly understand what it's like to be tired! Why is it always a competition of who is busier? I know this must be making you think of somebody.
Before we get into this aggravating 'Am I The A-hole' post, if you feel pissed off already and want to scream, feel free to let it all out.
