This girl throws pretty hard.
Photo via Instagram / @thesashaalexanderWhether it’s the feminist meme you need when a man in your life said another outrageously ignorant thing or the feminist meme you need to celebrate you friend’s new promotion, ENTITY has you covered.
We compiled a list of the perfect feminist memes to respond to any situation.
Why it’s the perfect feminist meme: We’re not being a bitch because we’re on our periods.
Please stop telling us our emotions are due to our time of the month. When we are on our periods, we bleed for a week straight and not only stay alive but deal with major cramps and still carry on with life.
And when you chalk our independence and ability to stand up for ourselves as “being on our periods,” you’re showing that you’re the weak one who can’t deal with a strong female.
Why it’s the perfect feminist meme: We’re beating the managerial gender gap.
You go girl, you earned that promotion so you deserve to feel good about it. If you’re working hard and bringing success to your workplace, don’t let any man hold you back from getting to that supervisor position or even the CEO spot. Girl power!
Why it’s the perfect feminist meme: Women can throw pretty freaking hard.
Every girl has heard this one. Newsflash guys, you may be biologically capable of being stronger, but this doesn’t mean women are weak. Stop belittling all the talented female athletes and women who work hard on their bodies and physical strength.
And men, you’re just making yourself look weak when you say this.
Why it’s the perfect feminist meme: We are more than just physical beauty.
Finally! In 2017, this shouldn’t even be a thing. Look, it’s not bad to tell a woman she’s pretty, but it’s skin deep. In many cases, we’re getting complimented on biological physical factors we can’t control. All. The. Time.
We get it, you like our eyes and our boobs, but there’s so much more to us.
Women are also intelligent, compassionate, athletic and overall badass. Tell us more about that.
Why it’s the perfect feminist meme: We’re beautiful with or without makeup.
Makeup is a form of expression we do for ourselves. This isn’t for you, so it doesn’t really matter what you think about our caked-on foundation or extremely dark lashes.
Take us swimming on the first date. We’ll have a good time whether we have no makeup on or eyeliner running down our face. And if our physical appearance is the only thing you care about, we don’t want to be with you either.
Why it’s the perfect feminist meme: Female empowerment is awesome, drunk or sober.
If you’ve ever been drunk in a bathroom, it’s likely you made three new best friends. There’s something so great about women coming together and being nice to each other. We need more of this, sober.
But on a serious note, thank you to the women who see other women too drunk and don’t leave them alone to get hurt or assaulted. You’re the true MPV and you’re keeping our community safer.
Why it’s the perfect feminist meme: Women should have the right to choose what they do with their bodies.
Men, if you’re not the one who is pregnant, you shouldn’t be the one leading the conversation. This is a decision the woman needs to make about her body and quality of life. Enough said.
Why it’s the perfect feminist meme: Female empowerment between women is really cool.
You celebrate, honey! You are successful and beautiful and we are so proud of you. That’s how it should be, women bringing each other up not pushing each other down.
When your best friend tells you she just scored that new job or just got engaged, it’s about being happy for her, not jealous.
Why it’s the perfect feminist meme: We were calm until you said that.
At the top of the list of all things condescending is the phrase “calm down.” We were perfectly reasonable until you told us to calm down.
Why is that when a woman starts making a point in the conversation, the man resorts to telling her to calm down. No, we’re not going to calm down, we are going to keep logically arguing our point.
The one who really needs to calm down is the person projecting their own insecurities because they have nothing more substantial than a passive aggressive jab to bring to the argument.
Why it’s the perfect feminist meme: Please, we’ve heard this thousands of times.
Sure, not all men are bad. But if you have to tell someone you’re not like the rest, chances are, you know you are.
We’re sick of all the talk and games, guys. Just be yourself and it will shine through if you’re not like the rest. Believe us, we’re perceptive and we’ll see the truth either way.
Why it’s the perfect feminist meme: Who said a lady had to be timid?
Just because we are standing up for what we believe in does not mean we aren’t ladylike. It’s 2017, people. The generation where women stay in the house, tend to the chores and children with a smile on their face and stay out of the conversation is gone.
Women are here. We are in college just as much as men. We are fighting our way to the top of the workforce more and more each year. The modern woman is ladylike if she seriously kicks ass while being herself.
Why it’s the perfect feminist meme: We’ll help you look for it.
Where’s your hug? We don’t know, but we can go on a journey to find it together because we definitely don’t see it around these parts.
Stop being invasive. If we wanted to hug you, we would have. At this point you’re just making yourself look weird and you’re starting to creep us out.
Why it’s the perfect feminist meme: Who runs the world? Girls.
Don’t be afraid to be called bossy or a bitch. You are strong, you are independent and you stand up for what you believe in.
In our book, you’re superwoman, so don’t let anyone tell you that you’re not. And if you’re feeling down, come back to this feminist meme list and remember exactly why you’re awesome.
