How To Be an Awesome Person on Social Networks

(Founds this, kind of liked it; I modified one of the words with asterisks in the spirit of courtesy)


Whine about Black History Month and wonder when White History Month is (that would be ALL the months, d****)

Whine about International Women’s Day and wonder when International Men’s Day is (that would be ALL the days, d****)
Whine about Women’s Studies courses in universities while wondering why there are no Men’s Studies courses (those are called History courses, d****)

Tell “sandwich” and “kitchen” jokes about women

Tell sexist jokes in general (and yes, that would include “dumb guy” jokes)
Tell jokes making fun of people from particular countries (i.e. Polish jokes) or religions (i.e., Jewish jokes) or races (i.e., jokes about Asian people)

Fail to notice sexism in advertising (i.e., more than one FB friend has griped that while Axe commercials are bad and sexist towards both women and men, commercials that depict dads who can’t handle diapers or make healthy adult dietary choices or which show men making foolish financial choices while being scolded by women are also bad, and adverts using women as nothing more than props or sex objects are gross as well)

Complain about a bad driver while making sure to specify that the driver is (pick one): black, Asian, or female.

Complain about women in traditionally male-dominated fields; in fact, many of you ARE women in male-dominated fields

Blame someone’s stupid behavior on their sex or race. Sometimes people are just not smart.

Awesome Personness:

Express your outrage for anyone that calls you on your B.S. by calling them a sexist or racist. (Works everytime).
