Under no circumstances should girls post any of these things on social media
According to bitter hateful people on the internet
The information superhighway can be a really scary place sometimes. Yes, we need the internet for talking to people we can’t speak to on the phone, Googling our symptoms any time we get as much as a twinge (result is always cancer or pregnant) and obviously memes, but there are also very strict rules here. The internet isn’t a lawless wasteland, so if you want to be a part of it and you’re also a woman, you better behave.
Specifically, if you want to enjoy social media, you can’t do any of these things according to bitter, hateful people on social media who for some reason think it’s their right to police what other people do – well, other girls at least. The scary part is, the majority of the people out there shaming other girls for their online choices are also women – internalised misogyny guys! It’s great.
