According to lawyer and activist Dr. Shola Mos-Shogbamimu, being a woman today, as it was yesterday, means fighting against the tide that threatens to limit their potential, promise, and presence.

Whether that means continuing to demand the inalienable right to body autonomy, refusing to conform to deeply rooted societal expectations telling them what to do or say, or persistently knocking down other barriers, it's all about being free.

If you're interested in how this quest manifests in everyday life, we have just the thing for you. The Instagram account 'Laughing Chicks' shares hilariously accurate memes that describe the shared struggles and triumphs of modern women, offering a refreshing perspective on the journey toward equality and empowerment.

They should, even if I haven’t watched the movie. (I kinda cry when watching a lot of pink or red for a long time, my eyes even tear up even more if there are touching scenes.)

For our first publication on 'Laughing Chicks,' its founder told Bored Panda that initially, the page began as just them creating memes that they thought were funny.

"I was working, and my work [was] very boring, and I wanted to do something more expressive," they explained. "So I started creating the page and memes."

But over time, the fun little page grew, and they realized how much fun content you can find elsewhere too. "I started curating more and giving them credit. Along the way, I have not only supported creators but have made friends such as Nina Marie (@ninamariedaniele) and Vinny Fasline(@vinnyfasline) ... I got an understanding of what my followers like and, more importantly, do not like, and selecting memes is now second nature."

I have a history of ending (my) relationships because of this. I told my current BF to ask me if it's my period if I try to break up (that's not a trap 😉), and it has been working for 15 years

"I found that relatable memes are the ones that resonate the most. Universal topics, such as complaining about work, or bonding with your coworkers, tend to do the best," the person behind 'Laughing Chicks' explained.

However, they added that Instagram itself also has a say in what to post.

"It also depends on the platform; they keep innovating and changing the algorithm, and as creators and curators, we have to adapt. For example, Instagram went very heavy about a year ago on videos, but now they have come back to photos and added more value to them. So, hoping to keep staying ahead of the algorithm and making new partnerships with comedians to keep the page engaged and growing."

It's just the same as we did as kids. Pack the bag and get ready to leave. I still have no money to get any further than the end of the street.

Hun, don't post your age or anything personal. There's a lot of creeps it there. Having said that, I second the advice of the others here - do find an adult you can trust. You'll be okay. :)

I did it. I ran away. It was the healthiest choice I’ve ever made. In the span of 2 weeks, I ended my 12-year domestic partnership (mutually; we’re best of friends), left him our home & nearly all my possessions, left my career and my social life. I hopped on a plane to India , where I visited my childhood home & travelled around for 16 months. Spent another 6 months throughout SE Asia then landed at a live/work farm in Hawaii. The latter became my base as I set out exploring the world for 4+ years. During this time I studied as many esoteric fields as interested me, getting several certificates & licenses. From Scuba to Yoga Teacher Training, Advanced Massage, Doula, Conflict Resolution, to becoming a Minister & Notary. Bought land in Hawaii & built my homestead in 2004. Met my husband in 2005 back in SF & here we are 18 years later. I wrote tomes while I was ran away. Now I’m a semi-retired, SAHD w/9yo son, working PT for my family’s resort & freelance writing print & online media.

And I can do it too. I have a car and I can drive away wherever I want. When I was seven I ran away and my brother picked me up on his moped. Not this time, Todd! 🖕

For our follow-up publication on the Instagram account, its chief said that they've been focusing on relatable memes even more.

We were also curious about whether or not their memes remain specifically for women, since a considerable portion of them now seems applicable to a broader audience.

"We have an 85% female following; therefore, we post memes more relatable to women," the creator of the account explained. "However, most of it is just relatable content for all."

It makes sense. Women and men score very similarly on tests of humor appreciation. Psychiatrist Allan Reiss of Stanford University scanned the brains of male and female subjects while they rated the funniness of 30 cartoons. Both genders rated the same number of cartoons as funny and ranked them in the same order of funniness. So don't be scared to send these memes to your guy friends too. If they have a sense of humor, they should appreciate them too!

Living in Europe half my life, and I don't understand why you need a credit score in USA. In The Netherlands, they look at if you have debts or bankruptcy etc. The best is to have no debts at all, regardless if you are repaying on time. We dont believe in spending money we dont have, we also don't get unsolicited credit cards in the mail when we turn 18. Using credit cards in The Netherlands (other than airtickets etc) tobpay means you have no money, and are desperate. We also don't have credit cards promotion/discount/points etc. Totally different mindset.

I don’t really like dresses, my school requires me to wear dresses, but I’ve seen worse, I’ve seen girls having to wear school uniform dresses shorter than almost as short as their thighs, in WINTER.

Sneaking back into the home as quietly as possible, trying not to wake the folks, but then mom hears you and you try to sound as sober and normal as possible.

It’s ok to take time to yourself 💖💖 and just cuz you arnt ‘pretty’ by standards to others dosnt mean you arnt pretty. I’m short, broad shoulders and a ‘bigger’ build ((my ma calls it a farmhouse girl build, really just kinda beefy and wide. Makes me look more masculine and less female)) and a tummy that sticks out a bit, but oh boy do I totally slay a belly shirt! As long as you love yourself and think, ‘hey, hell yea, sure I look ‘weird’ to other people, but I look amazing to me, and that’s perfect the way it is’, you’ll be the happiest you can be :3

On my first session the therapist asked the standard questions including "have you had any thoughts of harming yourself", to which I answered no. A few sessions later she said "...are you SURE you haven't had any suicidal ideation?" with genuine incredulity like she couldn't believe someone as utterly miserable as I was hadn't started eyeing the nearest bottle of pills. I said "no, never; what's the point?", and I meant it. Life had lost all joy, but it never once crossed my mind to check out early. On some level it was because my philosophy has always been "this too shall pass". And indeed, those bad times eventually did pass. Getting help was the first step.

Or do you want to be driven by a homicidal range as you get bloated? That's if your migraine allows you to feel anything. Tried twice and NEVER again, thanks.

All the guys I found attractive turned out to be AHs. The guy I settled with turned out to be a diamond in the rough, the most precious and lovely human being I've ever met, and I love him more with every passing day. The thing is, often we are attracted to things that look cool at first but are the other side of some very toxic traits, and the things we see that look boring are in reality the outer look of positive traits like reliability and loyalty and being honestly caring.

Hm 🤔 this is only valid if you have the money but are reluctant to spend. Because debt and poverty is crippling and will prevent you to go anywhere.

Maybe you'll get to know that person and see them for who they are, not what your rose coloured glasses portrays them as. Also, his friends will likely not be into you.

Don’t let anyone talk to you meanly, period. Honestly, my favorite thing to do is this- if someone’s being rude to you, just kinda stair blankly at them. Just stand there, stairing. Make them feel so awkward they leave you alone lol. ((Got this technique from my friend, John. Love u buddy!!!!))

It's been 7 years, nearly 8 now, and I still have not forgiven the f*****g IDIOT who thought he was totally cool to drive that night when he'd already gotten in trouble for DUI before. No lesson was learned, and he smashed into another car and killed the driver. That driver was one of my oldest friends. He was only 28 years old. He never even made it to the hospital.
