women

Having a period has always been something that holds women back since men are unable to fully understand how they work. For whatever reason, it is still a cringy topic to bring up and girls are still expected to hide their tampons in their sleeves as they excuse themselves from class.

For this teen though, that wasn't even an option. Even in Zoom High School, some teachers still refuse to let their kids 'leave' to go to the bathroom. I guess power-hungry teachers have found new ways to make their students' lives miserable. Refreshing, isn't it?

The 16-year-old eventually reported her teacher and realized that he may lose his job. Now she's asking if she's an A-hole on Reddit for potentially jeopardizing his career. What do you think?

It can be worrying how deeply embedded sexism is in our everyday lives. Sometimes misogynistic norms can become so accepted that we forget to question them. A lot of women are confronted with these contradictions when they are asked something like, "Why do you shave your legs in the winter? Or really, at all?" A lot of us subscribe to the notion that we just feel more comfortable or cleaner when we have smooth legs, but how much of that is true? If we had grown up in an alternate universe where nobody put a razor on their skin, and women in films were au naturel, would we still want to shave it all off?

On Reddit, women are sharing seemingly harmless things that are really sexist, this thread may make you reconsider why you have made certain choices in your life.

Each person will be confronted with thousands of issues, sometimes all at once. Because life can be so brutal, it is incredibly important to enter each day with some optimism and positivity, or else what is there to live for? Still, sometimes we all could use a reality check. If we refuse to acknowledge some 'facts of life,' it may hold us back more than help us.

For example, sure, you can say you're capable of anything, but you still have to put in a decent amount of time and effort to accomplish something big.

On Reddit, women are sharing 'Hard-To-Swallow' pills about life, and some of these may just burst your bubble.

When it comes to finding 'the one,' many people have unrealistic expectations. Thanks to Hollywood, we have this idea that we'll bump into a tall, dark, and handsome stranger on the subway, our eyes will meet, and there will be instant fireworks and butterflies. From one minute to the next, we've met the love of our lives, and it's smooth sailing from there. But, in reality, 'the one' takes a lot of work to sustain, and relationships are hard. Sometimes, 'the one' isn't the person you always imagined, but it's the person with who you make things work. Some call it settling, and some call it being realistic.

We always hear stories of men being creepy. Creepy men at bars, creepy men at the park, creepy men in your dentist's office. It makes total sense because creepy men are indeed everywhere. However, we women, it's time we must admit that sometimes we are the creepy ones. Of course, the line between cute and creepy is very thin. If someone finds you attractive, and you show up randomly in their room, they might be thrilled. But it's always better to ask first, because once your reputation is a 'creeper,' it's hard to recover from that.

On Reddit men are sharing the creepy things women have done to them. It appears that our creepy tactics may be different from men, but they achieve the same result: making someone hella uncomfortable.

Each week, the funny women of Twitter manage to brighten our day with their humor, sass, banter. Being able to condense their witty observations about the world into 280 characters or less is a skill that we are grateful for, so we compile them in one handy place for your convenience.

Breaking up is typically hard to do, but not when your total a**hole of an ex makes it super easy. We teamed up with dating blog The Single Society to bring you the stories of 9 women and the EXACT moment they knew they needed to dump their boyfriend and move OUT.

Finding "the one" is a beautiful thing, especially when you're genuinely in love. Tying the knot, starting a new life together, and beginning your journey into married bliss is something that every couple dreams of. But then, reality sets in, and real-life begins. Suddenly, you have someone keeping you awake every night with their snoring, and there is dirty laundry strewn all over the floor. Now, you always have to take someone into account when making decisions, even when you don't like them very much. Welcome to marriage bliss; it's a beautiful place.

Have you ever really thought about the kinds of things that men do that make us go, "Oh, he's a keeper." Well, it's kind of embarrassing how we allow ourselves to be so impressed by the bare minimum. Any slight signs that indicate he takes the time to take care of himself — like owning conditioner, two sets of sheets, or a vacuum — will literally cause women to swoon. What is up with that? I would love to speak with whoever it was that set the bar for men because it is far too low. We need to decide what is actually impressive. Standards, women! Standards!

This TikTok might make you realize how men really do get praised for the most obsolete things. Ladies, prepare to cringe.

How can one accurately portray the essence of their personality in 500 characters or less? Well, we don't have the answer. BUT! We can tell you exactly how NOT to. Here are the 12 things guys put in their bios on dating apps that must be stopped according to dating blog, The Single Society.

Ladies, you know we got your back when it comes to the funniest and most relatable memes.

So browse through this latest haul of women's memes which men will never understand. Memes that make fun of our unique female quirks, but which make you feel proud of your femininity all at the same time.

It really is amazing how much men think we really care about what they think. It's truly the audacity for me. Haven't we all agreed as a society that women barely adjust their appearance for the likes of men? Some of y'all really still think we dye our hair, try out new trends, work on our figures for men? That's rich. I think all women who read his comment can agree that now is the perfect time to start bodybuilding. I've never had more motivation to get ripped than right now.

Luckily, the academics of Twitter had our backs, and if Richard's post made you uncomfortable, you will love these clap backs.

If you're in a relationship and happily in love, then I'm thrilled for you. No, seriously, I am. I'm going to keep being happy for you tonight when I sit there scrolling through dating apps, swiping right on loser after loser, knowing that I'll be ordering dinner for one. And by dinner, I mean fruit salad with just grapes. Ok, fine, I mean wine. Or, I might scroll through these memes instead, which remind me of why I've chosen to stay single. Ahem.

OB/GYN's may be professional, but they've also been around the block when it comes to the crazy stuff they have heard from patients. Working in the medical field is already hectic, but being a doctor for the female body is whole 'nother story. Naturally, people have many questions and misconceptions about what goes on down there - both men and women alike. On this gem of a Reddit thread, OB/GYN's spilled the tea about all the crazy things male significant others have said at appointments, and you already know we got all the juicy details. These men seriously gotta take it down a notch at their S/O's next appointment. Scroll down for the wildest thread responses. 

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.
