1. I hear a lot of dudes that brag about how many hours they work in a day or week. Guys that are like “yeah I worked 20 out of 24 hours yesterday and only got 2 hours of sleep”.

Like… sorry that you have poor work/life balance and time management skills? How are you expecting me to react?

2. Make fun of the way I take my coffee.

I hate the toxic shit where unless you drink it black, you’re not a real man.

Like BITCH I’LL DRINK IT HOW EVER I DAMN WELL LIKE!

3. Pee super forcefully directly into the water, so that the lesser males know how powerful my stream is.

“You are the only person who gets to decide if you are happy or not—do not put your happiness into the hands of other people. Do not make it contingent on their acceptance of you or their feelings for you. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if someone dislikes you or if someone doesn’t want to be with you. All that matters is that you are happy with the person you are becoming. All that matters is that you like yourself, that you are proud of what you are putting out into the world. You are in charge of your joy, of your worth. You get to be your own validation. Please don’t ever forget that.” — Bianca Sparacino
