The Ultimate Guide To Being A Woman...According to everyone else

by Krystie Lee Yandoli

1. Be happy and appreciative of everything you have because women have come really, really far.
2. Smile, especially when people gawk at you and catcall you on the street. Accepting compliments is the polite thing to do.
3. Understand that catcalling and discrimination is just inevitable and is a part of your everyday life. Don’t expect that to change.
4. Whatever you do, don’t ask for it.
5. Deal with online harassment and just expect it to happen; after all, it comes with the territory.

Also disappointing, disheartening, and depressing. But not applicable to you, MineralMan.
