Twitter pretty much acts like the snarky BFF you always secretly wanted. It’s so easy to find tweets that you completely identify with as much as Blair Waldorf identifies with plaid—especially when the tweets are about womanhood. Here’s a list of the 16 best tweets that sum up the complicated, yet non-monolithic journey of the female individual.
1. The gender gap is all too real
In any field, women must work TWICE as hard to even get HALF the respect her male counterparts get. When does this stop?
