The rivalry and difference of opinion within the two genders is a historic one. Both men and women have their concerns about the opposite sex. Both genders have their versions of gender stereotypes.
A Twitter account has a classic way to make parodies of ridiculous gender roles by flipping their roles. They would start a conversation like “What if dads heard the stupid advice that working moms hear?” And the conversation that follows is insanely hilarious.
My friend is a history teacher. She's compiling a list of great historical figures and she needs a male to add to the list. Suggestions?

That was just the right poke at the idea that people often find it struggling to diversify the list of great individuals with some worthy women – as if there are not enough options. People jumped in with all kinds of suggestions, comments, and thoughts which resulted in an infuriatingly hilarious Twitter thread and a masterpiece of sarcasm.
not a lot of people know, but Mark Twain was actually a man

I think that's been debunked though. How could that wonderful writing be done by a man?

It's just biology; men are fine at some things, like lifting heavy objects. But they're not good at everything, like women are.

Whenever a man gets overemotional I have to ask "oh honey, is it that time of the season?"

Granted he was the lover of the Russian queen, but do we really want to parade the antics of a cat that really was gone before our children?

Shaula, maybe rather than judge men on their sexual reputations, we should recognise the agency sex provided within a limited social sphere?

I hear what you're saying, Van, but I just can't get behind Boi Powerrr & Guyliner Meninists. What kind of husbands will they make?
— Shaula Evans (@ShaulaEvans) September 2, 2017
I like the way you think, Van. After all, it's for their own good. Plus, we all know a little beefcake is good for morale around the office!

Wasn't there a guy who worked in Rosalind Franklin's lab and wrote a novel about the people doing dna research?

Watson Crick i think his name was…Crick Watson… i don't know, he wasn't even attractive

They're terribly dowdy a lot of these fellas, aren't they? One suspects the lab is a bit of a refuge for the plain boys.

I say stop pandering.
