“I’m Just a Girl”
Most of us are familiar with the trend to blame being a girl on everything we do. Saying “I’m just a girl” has gotten me out of the most uncomfortable and ridiculous situations. To help you girls out, here are some 50 questions and statements you can use this response for (especially in chaotic circumstances):
(Some of these situations may or may not have been from experience, but we’re not here to assume).
