Women generally see men as simple beings incapable of understanding them, and men view women as sensitive and too emotionally complex to fully comprehend. But where to we break this cycle of misconception with communication?

Domestic duties aren't a hobby & females aren't born with a burning desire wash undies
You aren't "helping" when you contribute to household duties, you're being an adult

“No” does NOT = “yes”

Whatever you think about our investigative skills probably doesn’t do our skills justice. A woman can find your ex-girlfriends photo, your current address, the name of your mother, and your blood type, if you give her enough time.
We women take dumps just like y’all. GOOD ones, too. #WhatMenDontKnowAboutWomen pic.twitter.com/Xr6t3XZhDo

When we are mad and are talking about how pissed off we are we do not want you to fix it. We want you to be as annoyed as we are as a form of support. #WhatMenDontKnowAboutWomen pic.twitter.com/xlhzPC8utA
