I have such a problem with this.

“Yes, I’m a girl. I push doors that clearly say PULL. I laugh harder when I try to explain why I’m laughing. I walk into a room and forget why I was there. I count on my fingers in math. I hide the pain from my loved ones. I say it is a long story when it’s really not. I cry a lot more than you think I do. I care about people who don’t care about me. A broken nail is painful. I will forgive you even after you stab me in the back. I listen to you even when you don’t listen to me. And a hug will always help. Yes, I’m a girl!!!!! Re-post if you are a girl too”

I do not consider myself to be a feminist by any means, but I really hate seeing things like this. Women will never be treated as equals if we are constantly degrading ourselves. The first sentence sets the entire post up for potential empowerment. (Although, I personally feel that ‘Yes, I’m a woman.’ would have been more effective.) Instead, every sentence thereafter is basically insulting the entire female population.

What it says: I push doors that clearly say PULL.
What it means: I am unable to comprehend and/or pay attention to my surroundings.
What it implies: Females do not have the ability to be aware of their surroundings, and that it is natural (‘cute’, even) for them to make unnecessary mistakes in every day activities.

What it says: I laugh harder when I try to explain why I’m laughing.
What it means: (Actually, I don’t really have a problem with this sentence.)

What it says: I walk into a room and forget why I was there.
What it means: I have the attention span of a five year old.
What it implies: Women are ditzy and childish. They are unable to focus on anything for a reasonable amount of time.

What it says: I count on my fingers in math.
What it means: Not only am I stupid, but I acknowledge this fact, yet I do not try to remedy the problem.
What it implies: Women should, and do, accept the ‘fact’ that they are intellectually inferior to men

What it says: I hide the pain from my loved ones.
What it means: I’m too afraid to be myself around people.
What it implies: I will admit that this one is out on a limb, but I still think that this one is ultimately saying that women should act a certain way in public and that they should adhere to society’s standards of behavior.

What it says: I say it is a long story when it’s really not.
What it means: I exaggerate to either make me feel better about myself, or because I’m too lazy too tell the story.
What it implies: Females are naturally boring and must lie about their actual experiences in order for someone to be interested in what they have to say.

What it says: I cry a lot more than you think I do.
What it means: I am emotionally unstable.
What it implies: All women are weak, easily upset, and over-emotional.

What it says: I care about people who don’t care about me.
What it means: I cannot detach myself from people who are clearly not worth my time.
What it implies: Once again, women are weak.

What it says: A broken nail is painful.
What it means: I have a low pain threshold.
What it implies: Not only are women emotionally and mentally weak, but they are also physically weak.

What it says: I will forgive you even after you stab me in the back
What it means: I am unable to remove you from my life because I would rather be with an awful friend/boyfriend/person/etc. than to be “alone”.
What it implies: Again, this implies that women are weak. It also implies that they are unable to make important decisions, likely because they are too afraid of the potential effects.

What it says: I listen to you even when you don’t listen to me.
What it means: Instead of making you aware that you are being rude, I will ignore it.
What it implies: Women should know their place. Their opinions are insignificant, but they should still listen to what others have to say.

What it says: And a hug will always help.
What it means: I need physical contact to make me feel better.
What it implies: As stated in the above implications, women are weak.

What it says: Yes, I’m a girl!!!!! Re-post if you are a girl too”
What it means: Yes, I am an inferior human being. Re-post if you are an inferior human being, too.
