Normally I would kindly ask the men to leave the chat so the rest of us can laugh away the patriarchy together, but I think it’s important the guys stick around for this particular collection of pictures.
In case you didn’t know, today is International Women’s Day. While it’s an excellent opportunity to celebrate some of the most recognizable women in the world and their achievements, it’s also a day for us to celebrate the strong women in our own lives — our mothers, our sisters, our friends, and ourselves.
So on this, the international day of girl power , let’s all take a moment to share in some laughs, courtesy of the funniest ladies on the internet. Because after all, who run the world? Oh that’s right, girls .
My morning mantra.

If any man happens to forget this little fact, you are more than welcome to remind him, and please smile exactly like this too while you recite this little poem.
Angelica’s mom knew what’s up.
When I watched Rugrats as a kid, I didn’t understand Mrs. Pickles but I knew she scared me. Now as an adult, I admire her for instilling that bad ass, “don’t-cross-me” sense of fear into all of us at such a young age.
They weren’t ready for this.

The best part about this is Ashley’s little smile because she knows she’s said something amazing and everyone else at the table (I’m looking at you, Uncle Phil) is just going to have to deal with it.
Empowered.
This lil’ bunny looks like she’s about to go apply to Harvard Law and do better than her boyfriend and become best friends with the same woman he left her for.
Not again.

Be careful with it now, don’t want to do anything to shatter it. It is, after all, incredibly fragile.
Let’s hear it for the nameless girl at the club.

You don’t know true female friendship until you find yourself in the bathroom at the club holding back a girl’s hair while she pukes, and then telling all your deepest, darkest fears before y’all hit the dance floor together.
Someone get on this.

Let’s see what they have to say about our “lady problems” after dealing with the kind of cramps that can make you physically vomit from the pain and discomfort.
Once more time for the people in the back.

That morning-after pill would probably also be sold everywhere and have commercials where men moan about their unwanted pregnancy, not unlike the way they act in cold and flu commercials.
Man-cold, meet man-pregnancy.
They’ve heavier too.

And I look damn good wearing them around my neck.
That head is also flat from constantly hitting the glass ceiling.

If you don’t know this woman, her name is Dame Stephanie “Steve” Shirley , and in 1962 she founded a software company that almost exclusively employed women in an otherwise male-dominated field.
In other words, she is my hero.
I see my future and it is very friendly.
This sounds exactly like the kind of lady I want to be friends with and I will be keeping an eye out for her next time I have to fly anywhere.
Hard truths.

Odds are if you’re a “nice guy” who’s consistently been rejected by the women you want to date, you’re probably a piece of trash and she can see right through you.
No hard feelings though.
Easy way to figure this one out.

Let’s all just destroy the idea that some toys are for girls and some are for boys because I would love for my children and all future children to avoid the same confusion I had as a kid when my aunt told me I wasn’t “allowed” to look in the boy’s toy section of the Sears catalog.
“You’re telling me that I can’t play with a Nerf gun just because I don’t have a d***? That seems fishy, Aunt Kathy.”
Hermione was the real hero.
Look, we can go on all we want about how Harry was “The Boy Who Lived” and how he was gifted and destined to save the wizarding world.
But he couldn’t even fix his own damn glasses. So…
Come on, cutie. Give us a smile.

I will also be ironically calling all unsmiling men “smiley” because apparently that’s the funniest ish ever, especially if they have resting b**** face and can’t help that they look unimpressed all the time.
