woman

Everyone has different tastes when it comes to art. What one person thinks is beautiful, another person thinks is trash. It's all subjective. But one woman is pushing the boundaries, possibly for everyone, and creating self-portraits that are... let's say, unorthodox. Iiu Susiraja, a Finnish artist, takes pictures of herself in all sorts of bizarre and somewhat disturbingly provocative poses, using various household props and calls it art. Maybe this sort of thing does it for some people, but personally, after looking at these pictures, I'm just left very, very confused.

You do some things in life, not because you have to, but because it's the right thing to do. Picking up litter, helping elderly people to cross the road, and giving up your seat on public transport for pregnant women. Most people don't question these unspoken rules of human decency, but you'll find someone who thinks they are exempt from them every now and again. Like this guy who posted on the popular Reddit thread Am I The A-hole, who asked if he was in the wrong for not giving up his seat on the bus for a pregnant lady, even though he "Works 10-hour shifts." In case you can't get an idea of the type of person he is, from that along, he goes on to say, "We live in a state where birth control and abortions are free, so I don't know why this should be my problem. It's not my fault she decided to have a baby when she can't afford a car."

Ummmm. So essentially, and correct me if I'm wrong, he's saying that if you want to feel comfortable on the bus, you should just get an abortion. Ok cool. He sounds like a genuinely upstanding citizen. Not.

Anyway, as you can imagine, Redditers pitched in left, right, and center, telling him just how much of an ahold he is and why he is a sh*tty human being. As always, there were a few people who were on his side (we've included one such response below), but most people were of the consensus that he is a d-bag. Read through his story and the reactions from Redditers and decide if you think he is, indeed, the ahole.

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.

If there were a prize for the most bizarrely photoshopped Facebook profile pictures, then Lina Slizauskiene from Lithuania would win it, hands down. Her pictures are a collection of the tackiest, weirdest, and most badly photoshopped photos we've ever come across, and we're not sure what her thought process is. From posing in front of the pyramids in Egypt to being a fairy in the forest, her imagination knows no bounds.To be fair to her, if there were another prize for creativity and humor, she'd win that one too, so overall, she's a winner. She's provided us with some much-needed laughs, and hopefully, you'll also chuckle as you scroll through this collection of some of her best ones.

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.

Picture the scene; you're back at a guy's house after a great date, and you feel confident enough to poop in his toilet. No big deal, right? Right. Except, his toilet doesn't flush, and now you're left staring at a big ol' turd floating in his toilet while he waits for you in the other room ready for some sexy time. You want to die. What do you do? If you're Canadian-based Makela St. Fort, you come to the obvious conclusion that there's nothing to do except picking it up, wrapping it in toilet paper, and sticking it in your purse. And finally, live-tweet the whole thing. In disbelief? So was I, until I read the sh*tty ordeal below. Enjoy!

Many women dream of having long legs, but 29-year-old Rentsenkhorloo Bud from Mongolia has long legs and then some. Standing at 6 feet and 9 inches, she officially has the world's second-longest pair of legs, measuring 52.8ins from hip to heel. Towering above most other humans, you would think she'd be embarrassed about her height, but instead, she shows off her long legs in shorts and heels. Even though she finds it challenging to shop for clothes and shoes and get through doorways, she told The Mirror, "I love my long legs, and I think they make me more beautiful." Well, that's a glass-half-full attitude! Check out some pictures of the incredible tall Rentsenkhorloo below.

People have been keeping themselves entertained during lockdown in all sorts of ways. From recreating amateur paintings to dressing up while you walk your dog, you have to do whatever you can to keep busy. One woman decided to on a DIY project which involved getting free carpet samples on Amazon and making a cat scratcher. But things quickly got out of hand in a hilarious way, and she documented the whole thing on Imgur. Check out what happens when you "hack" Amazon...

Breanna Lockwood, a 29 influencer from Chicago, together with her husband Aaron, 28, has been struggling to conceive naturally for many years. Having undergone several surgeries, various attempts at harvesting eggs and failed embryo transfers, as well as miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies, they have decided to take drastic measures to get pregnant. 

Breanna's 51-year-old mother has lovingly offered to be a surrogate mother for her daughter's child and is now carrying their baby which was conceived back in March. Although Julie (Breanna's mom) is 51 and surrogate mothers must be 35 or younger in order to carry a baby, her exceptional health means that she was approved and could help give her daughter the ultimate gift. Check out the adorable pictures so far of their incredible and unique journey.

Amy Jandrisevitz, a woman from Wisconsin is creating incredible lookalike dolls for children with disabilities and illnesses in an attempt to help them feel less alone. The doll maker's incredible journey started five years ago when she was approached by a mom who asked her to customize a unique doll for her daughter who unfortunately lost a leg due to an amputation. From there, she continued receiving requests and eventually started a nonprofit called "A Doll Like Me". Although each doll costs $100, Amy covers any expenses that parents can't afford out of her own pocket. The aim is to stop children who have skin, limb, or facial differences to feel ostracized. Here are some of Amy's incredible creations. 

As we know all too well, the world can be a dangerous place, particularly for a woman walking alone at night in metropolitan areas. Although staying vigilant is key in trying to avoid getting into dangerous situations, sometimes you may need to depend on the help of a kind stranger to keep you safe in certain circumstances. This is exactly the position one woman in NYC found herself in February, who when walking home alone, realized she was being followed by three men. Understanding the potential danger she was in, she approached a stranger and asked him to pretend he knew her, and accompany her home  The stranger tweeted the whole encounter (below) which went viral and inspired many people to thank him, on behalf of women everywhere for helping this woman while she was in a vulnerable state. It doesn't take a lot to show some kindness and help someone in need, like this compassionate stranger shows. 

In a world so focussed on external looks, social media, and "ideal" beauty standards, it isn't always easy to feel beautiful. While we should be embracing our "flaws" and "imperfections" — because that's what makes us unique — we live in a society that encourages us to photoshop the blemishes from our pictures and get surgery to fix anything that's less than perfect on our bodies. Although there's a growing movement to change these attitudes, there is a lot more that come be done. One woman's tweet about the shape of her nose looking like a "before" photo, but loving herself anyway, has gone viral and has inspired other women to comment on the same topic. Here are some of the beautiful replies from women who have learned to love the unique shape of their noses and embrace their bodies.

When it comes to picking a partner, we all have certain requirements or types. Whether it's hair color, skin tone, or physique, everyone has their thing. But one thing that most women in the western heterosexual dating world have in common is their desire for a man who is taller than them. Without going into the evolutionary reasons for this, this is often a deal-breaker for women, who have started writing this stipulation on their dating profiles. Men aren't happy about it for the most part (especially those who aren't 6 feet tall) and have begrudgingly started putting their height on the apps with the statement "because apparently that matters". While it's obvious that height isn't everything, one woman endorsed this in a tweet about her husband who is shorter than her, expressing how happy she is with her "5"5 king". Women felt inspired to post pictures of their shorter significant others saying how happy they are. Of course, there were the haters, but Lizz had great comebacks for them all. Check out the thread below. 

Pregnancy is a time when your body goes through many changes, both physically and hormonally. Many women document the progression of their pregnancy but one woman did it in the most creative way. Grace Horine, a photographer from Barcelona who lives in Orlando, Florida with her husband Brennan, created weekly pregnancy updates on Instagram that combined their love of Disney, Harry Potter, and The Office. Each week, Grace dressed up as a character from one of their favorite shows and posed next to a chalkboard which listed what trimester and week of her pregnancy she was as well as indicating the baby's size and a quote that usually had something to do with whatever character she was portraying. What an original to document her beautiful journey to motherhood. Check out the pictures below, including one of gorgeous baby Charlotte who is in the final photograph. 

The fashion world favors slim women. It's a sad fact and a growing movement of voluptuous and plus size women are trying to do something to change that. They campaign for clothing brands to make their sizes more inclusive of all women's body types, from the user slim to the plus sizes. One such woman is Katie Sturino, an influencer who posts side-by-side pictures of her and celebrities wearing the same outfit. She aims to prove that style does not depend on size at all. Her huge fan base leaves positive comments on her page, showing that she's speaking to the masses through her posts. Here are some of her wonderful outfit comparisons. 

An Elite Daily editor tried using quotes from the 'Twilight' movies on her Tinder matches and the results weren't actually too bad. While most thought she was clearly missing a few screws, some of them just kind of went with it. One even played her at her own game! Check out the hilarious conversations below.
