If only there was a guide to being a woman.  A list of things that every modern, 21st century girl should know how to do, no questions asked, no second thoughts. Well ask no more ladies, for here it is. Go forth and conquer.

1. How To Walk In Heels

There are two types of women in this world. Those who live in heels and those who look on them with a mixture of fear and loathing. That said, being able to swag a little in heels is something that every woman should learn how to do. You’ll never know when it could come in handy…

2. How To Stop Street Harassment

Even in the modern, equal values world of today, there are many, many men who feel that openly harassing women on the street is acceptable. So the next time it happens to you, stop and turn the tables on them. “Nice arse sweetheart”, should do nicely.

3. How To Embrace Your Natural Self

Yes, make-up is great. It helps to embrace and highlight what God has given us. It makes us photo ready and fabulous (in our eyes) However, far too many women are far too dependent on make-up and need to learn to go. Wear less make-up more often!

4. How To Control Your Hormones

If you turn into an axe wielding maniac once a month, then perhaps now is the time to learn to control that anger. Easier said than done, yes, but simple things like running and eating well can all help to control it. It’s worth a little time investment.

5. How To Out-Wit Any Man

Being witty, smart, sharp and sarcastic is a skill that every woman should possess. 

6. How To Drive

Never depend on someone else to drive you around. It’s not even about owning your own car, even though that is clearly something we all want, but just knowing how to get yourself or anyone for that matter, from A-B, is an underrated skill at best.

7. How To Dress Appropriately

For any occasion. Buy a smart dress, blazer, tailored trousers and decent shoes and you’ll have pretty much covered all basis. Just never, ever attend a funeral in sequins. Ever.

8. How To Live Healthily

Learn how to cook an egg, wash some lettuce and go for a jog every once in a blue moon and you’re half way there sunshine. Just remember that McDonald's and the couch does not a healthy body make.

9. How To Be Independent

No woman out there should ever utter that she ‘needs’ a man. Don’t get me wrong, men are great and all but technically, the only thing we need men for is reproducing. What you need, is to learn to do things for yourself. Even if it’s something as simple as eating by yourself, do it.

10. How To Shop In A Pharmacy

You all know what I’m talking about here. You don’t have time to pop into the giant sized Boots in town, so instead you pop into your local pharmacy for all of your tampon/ contraceptive/ hairy needs. But instead of buying exactly what it is you need, you load up on hair clips, nail varnish and band aids, as if, somehow, it’s going to distract from all of the other stuff. It won’t.

11. How To Cut Bad Influences From Your Life

This can take the form of bad habits such as smoking, excess drinking or drug use, or people who are negatively influencing your life. 

12. How To D.I.Y.

Pick up that toolbox and get to grips with the hammer and nails. No, that was not a metaphor for anything dirty, in case that was what you were thinking. We're talking about learning how to put up a shelf, hang a picture, fix that broken shower curtain. Rock that tool belt girl.

13. How To Get What You Really Want

Whether it’s getting that promotion or getting the object of your affections, you must learn how to get exactly what you want in this life, by whatever means necessary. To do so with respect, manners and the acceptable measure of force, is something that every woman should learn how to do. Without question.

14. How To Not Sweat The Small Stuff

Obviously, there are things you should most definitely care about. Your health, your family, your career. Things that you should not give a shit about include, caring what people think of you, cellulite, drunk texting your ex, not wanting to settle for the first man that comes along, being single and happy or being loved up and happy. Let the haters hate and you’ll be so much happier in your own skin. Promise.

Turkey’s Prime Minister, Bülent Arınç received backlash recently when he said: “A woman should be chaste. She should know the difference between public and private. She should not laugh in public.”

Following this, Turkish women, and indeed, women around the world protested in the most powerful way – through social media.

Using the hashtag #direnkahkaha (resisted laughter), Emma shared an image of herself laughing while standing outside in public.

The move comes only weeks after the Harry Potter actress was announced as UN Women's Goodwill Ambassador. 

Something tells us the politician regrets his questionable comments….

Smile, girls!

New research has revealed that eight out of ten women edit their holiday photos before uploading them to social media. And apparently most women will delete pictures of themselves that they don’t like – even if there are other people in the shot who are looking good (we may be guilty of this ourselves…).

Diet firm Forza Supplements compiled the statistics, which found that the top three pictures of themselves that women dislike are:

  • Sitting down with a bare stomach
  • Tight jeans with a muffin top
  • The double chin shot
  • The most popular reason for deleting a photo was ‘because I look fat’.

Hmmm… we really need to stop being so hard on ourselves!

A new study has revealed that women cheating on their husbands has risen by more than 40% in the past 20 years.

This means that one in six wives cheat on their husbands, though the guys statistics haven’t changed – one in five men cheat on their wives, so it looks like we’re catching up. Not that that’s a good thing!

University of Washington sociologist, Pepper Schwartz says that the reason for this could be that women are more financially independent, and with social media we have greater opportunities to meet men.

Schwartz said: “They can afford the potential consequences of an affair, with higher incomes and more job prospects.

“They have more economic independence and may meet a better class of mate.”

Hmmm, we’re not sure if this is good news or bad news! On the plus side we’re making more money, but it doesn’t look like it’s bringing us too much happiness if one in six wives feel the need to cheat on their husbands.

There are some things in life that truly shake us ladies to the core. Many are irrational, but that makes them no less scary.

1. Being A Cat Lady Forever

catperson

Cats, cats everywhere…

2. Being An Ugly Bridesmaid

cinderella4

Being a bridesmaid is a catch twenty two. On the one hand, you’re flattered that someone would ask you to be their right hand woman on the biggest and most important day of their lives. On the other hand, you’re terrified that you’ll have to spend a day being photographed in the ugliest dress known to mankind, whilst the bride stands beside you in an attempt to look even more beautiful.

3. Childbirth

tumblr_inline_n8ecpcIb231r6jzi4

Oh god it’s so scary looking….agh!

4. Realising He’s Not The One

brad_006

We’ve all seen the fairy tales, read the books, attended the weddings. We know that true love actually does exist, apparently. We now just need to find it and not mess up along the way. Our greatest love related fear, is doing what they all do in films and marry the first man that comes our way, only to discover that he’s really not right for you.

5. Being The Ugly Duckling

lies-women-tell-fugly-ugly-white-lies-gif

What if if we’re the ugly ducklings of the family or even worse, our friend group? What if, even though we’re aware that our family are good looking, we actually think that we ourselves, are better looking than we actually are. What if we’re totally rank? Better go and scrutinize every single picture ever taken, for definite evidence.

6. Kids

1501806_o1

Just kids in general. They’re loud and cry a lot. Then there’s the whole issue of having to give up a large portion of your life to care for them.

7. Waking Up With Wrinkles

gif-king-5ec29bf09e26517b3ac000ef7721171b

Ever since we’ve poked the lines on our Grandmothers face, we’ve been more than a little scared of wrinkling. Moisturise. It’s key in anti ageing, so they say. Yet, despite going to bed every night with a three inch layer of Astral on our faces, we can’t help but fear waking up with a perfectly ruled face.

8. Getting Grey Hairs

tyra

Mention balding to any man and watch the colour drain from his face. Priceless. Watch them mention grey hairs to us and you’ll pretty much get the same reaction.

9. Being Stuck In A Dead End Job Forever

giphy

We’ve all had to work crappy jobs at one stage or another. Bad money, customers you want to slap. It’s on the worst days that you being to ponder if this is all there is. What if you spend the rest of your life in this miserable, degrading job? Best not to think about that.

10. Our Metabolism Slowing Down Drastically

ibknaWXycTb9Pn

Now, that’s not to say that we’re completely oblivious to the effects of eating one too many Snackboxes. It’s just that after reading one too many ‘articles’ on ‘celebrities’ and their daily struggles with weight gain, that we start to wonder when we’ll have to live on a diet of baby food and fear. It’s coming…

Guys are simple beings really, there are things that really, really scare them. We ladies have a lot to thank for that, because most of them are our fault. #sorrynotsorry

1. Girls Crying
The single most awkward situation a guy can find himself in. Thoughts go flying through his head: Do I hug her? Do I ask her about it? Do I pat her on the head and say “there, there” over and over again?

kim-kardashian-crying

 2. Periods
They just don’t want to hear about it. Which, frankly, is offensive.

lady problems

 3. Big Boobs
They know the trouble they’ll be in if they look down and it takes all their concentration not to.

4. Women In General
The single biggest lie that men tell each other is how good they are with women.

5. Changing Rooms At The Gym
This one doesn’t involve the ladies, but it does involve being naked in front of other guys.

6. Being Asked Directions To Somewhere You Don’t Know
Whenever this happens, the first thing you should do is apologise and explain that you don’t know where that is. However, this rarely happens, and they try to be helpful. By the time they’ve realised that they actually can’t be any help, it’s too late and they just leave them more confused than they were before.

7. When Someone Stands Next To You At The Urinals
Men don’t like this. Especially if there are a lot of other free urinals around, apparently.

8. Another Guy Talking About Something Emotional
They aren’t like us…

9. Girls Asking About Feelings And Emotions And Stuff
Guys aren’t the emotionless robots that we’re often made out to be, but most of the time their emotions are pretty normal, and the most complicated thing they’re thinking about is what’s for dinner. But girls aren’t really ever satisfied with this response, and decide to dig deeper expecting to find another layer. Cue the awkwardness.

10. Tripping Over When You’re On Your Own
To be fair, this one is the worst for everyone.

11. When You Accidentally Touch Hands With Someone In The Street
What’s the big deal? Keep on walking, fellas.

12. Relations Asking About Your New Girlfriend
Girls don’t mind this question, we just answer normally. Guys on the other hand, get all hot and bothered.

This certainly gave us a giggle in the SHEmazing office today! Nik of the internet comedy group The Kloons recorded his elderly mother and aunt having a conversation, and later lip-synced it for this hilarious little video. We would seriously love to try this with some of our friends and relatives!

Ok so, sometimes we overreact and get upset that your boyfriend clearly took the last perfect pizza slice on purpose instead of offering it to us. But these reasons are completely fair reasons to be upset with your other half. Those jerks.

1. He Didn’t Text Her Back

tumblr_lxmkix6bA91qbl40h

Seriously, how hard is it?

2. He Didn’t Ring You While He Was Drunk

tumblr_ljndwhEKAv1qbncy4

They say the truth comes out when you’re drunk so if you didn’t call that means you weren’t even thinking of us. Who DID you call then, huh?!

3. He Rang You While He Was Drunk

Selena-Gomez-Angry-Gifs-19

What a di**. How dare you ring her and wake her from her slumber, to tell her that even in your deepest, drunkest states, you’re thinking about her. Absolute di**head

4. He Has 12 New Female Friends On Facebook

tumblr_mgk17b0t7c1qlzfdjo1_500

What the…How does one even MEET 12 people in one day?!

5. He Has Been Tagged In Photos With Hot Women

tumblr_inline_mm5faflpqc1qz4rgp

Right now, we’re thinking: “it’s a good think he’s not that great looking, because these hoes look too hot to handle.” Remove the tags now.

6. He Chose A Lads Night Over A Date Night

A lad’s night out is all well and good but at least pretend to be torn for the love of God.

7. He Called Your Friend Hot

Well why don’t you just go run off with her then you absolute d***.

8. You’re Hormonal And He’s Happy

We’re all too familiar with the many food adverts aimed at women and of course, the double standards surrounding them.

Thankfully, CollegeHumor has managed to show the complicated relationship us ladies are supposed to have with food, in a hilarious way.

The joke advert shows women going about their normal day, but then of course scoffing down a box of yodels in secret.

Our favourite and probably most accurate quote from the advert, is of course this gem: “Eating is unfeminine. You should feel guilty about it … but also sexually aroused by it. But also, you should feel guilty about your sexuality.”

Not sure we want a packet of yodels after watching this, but it made us laugh anyway.

There is nobody quite like Bridget Jones. She represents most women in some way or another, and we can all relate to her. Whether it be single Bridget, married Bridget, heartbroken Bridget or mortified Bridget, we’ve all been there.

1. Showing up to an event either incredibly under-dressed or over-dressed (by accident)

The embarrassment.

2. Rambling away in the presence of beautiful men

Only ours wasn’t Mark Darcy.

3. Feeling the pressure from society to be in a relationship through the medium of your own mother

Always helpful.

4. Resorting to the hermit lifestyle, avoiding all responsibilities and eating nothing but crap

Standard.

5. Try too hard to look amazing for a date and turn out looking like some sort of bizarre pigeon lady

Not worth being late for.

6. Falling for the whimsically intelligent, fun loving bellend.

7. Having your attempt at being a Domestic Goddess go absolutely arse-ways

You get worried that you’re a bit toooo weird together, but hey, it’a all fun so who cares! Here are the signs that you and your best friend are two of a kind

1. You dare each other to do stupid things
You do really crazy and stupid stuff together, but have the utmost trust in each other.

triple-dog-dare2.  You communicate in your own special way
You have an interesting way of saying I love you and insults are your way of expressing how much your friend means to you. It’s as if complimenting each other isn’t enough.

ladygagabeyonce

3. You can tell them anything, no matter how strange it sounds
They’re like an open book and they have literally no filter. You can tell them your deepest darkest secrets, but also disgusting things about your body and they won’t bat an eyelid.

im-listening

4. You still call each other by your stupid nicknames
You never call them by their full name either it’s a shortened version of their name of just the first letter like D, M or Aido. It’s extrmemely childish, but both of you still think it’s cool.

giphy

5. You have to text each other every night before you go to bed
When your friend forgets to text you feel like something has gone wrong, you start to think of what you said to them earlier and if they’re mad at you or not. In reality they just fell asleep and forgot to text you.

6. You ‘literally’ die when you randomly meet each other in public
Meeting your  friend when you weren’t planning on seeing them makes your week. You can’t help but cause a scene when you randomly see your friends walking down the street.

dino-laugh

7. You know each other’s phone number and Facebook passwords off by heart
After spending so much time with them you know their phone number and every one of their passwords. You don’t memorise them, over time you have been exposed to it so much that they just seem to sink in.

MFW+answering+the+captcha+code_0f709c_3864132

8. If you’re not home, they wait in your house until you come home
You feel so comfortable with each other that if you’re not there when they call they just chill in your house until you do. Your family doesn’t mind either because they love having them over.

tumblr_n0out3mOfw1tq4of6o1_500

9. Your idea of a night-in is wearing pyjamas and watching romantic comedies together
If you’re at home and bored you invite them over to eat junk food and watch movies. It doesn’t matter how you look, so you both wear pyjamas.

giphy

10. When you order food you get one portion and share it
You know exactly the type of food you both like so you just order one thing and share it between you. Sometimes you don’t even have to say it and you order a 4 and 1 for the both of you.

tumblr_m02nf5Gi5P1r6iaqx

11. You know every detail of each other’s sex life
There is nothing that you haven’t already told them about your sex life. Who you shifted last night, who your stalking on Facebook and all the rest of the gory details!

tumblr_ml95s9wmup1qh28qoo1_500-1

12. When they’re not around you feel like a piece of you is missing
You’re not the same without the creepy look that they give you, or the random things they say on a daily basis. The only thing that comforts you is when you get a text from them.

Some of them we love, some of them we love to hate. Either way, things get crazy with this lot around!

1.  Your BFF
You guys hang out constantly and Snapchat each other when in need of a bitching sesh. This is the girl you go to when you feel awful and she won’t necessarily have to say much, but her just being there makes life that much more bearable. This is the type of friend that knows everything about you and everything seems hilarious when you’re with them.

2. The silly girl
That friend that has literally no idea what the hell is happening 24/7. She will just laugh at everything that everyone else laughs at and say she gets it, when she clearly doesn’t. Every entourage needs one of these though!

3. The sports-mad gal
The mate that tweets and Snapchats sports stats and rubbish about sport that we really don’t care about.

4. The “lady”
The girl that has so much grace, class and poise that it is beyond you. The one friend that eats pizza and burgers with a fork and a knife and keeps her heels on all night.

5.  The social butterfly
That one friend that knows absolutely EVERYONE. You simply can’t walk around campus with them, without being stopped and introduced to a group of people you never knew existed. On nights out she will be messaging everyone and round up a massive crowd for pre-drinks, and you probably won’t see her again for the night.

6. The loud-mouth
That friend that does not have an indoor voice and if she sees something funny she will loudly broadcast so. They are the best craic and beyond hilarious but can we please turn it down a notch.

7. Oprah
The friend that assumes she can solve all your problems and, more importantly, points out your problems to you. She lectures you and tries to inspire you, when in reality you would rather the problem remain unsolved than hear her out.

8. The beauty and the brains
We all have that friend that is so stunning but also has the smarts to back it up.

9. The Disney freak
The friend that knows all the Frozen songs off by heart and thinks Olaf is the “cutest thing ever.” They’re in second year of college and are still attached to everything Disney, and still sport Disney t-shirts and merchandise into classes. You gotta love them though!

10. The outcast
That friend that stands out of the group and is totally different from everyone else!

11. The cynical one
That friend that is so cynical and so negative but you can’t help but love them. Their comments about things are simply hilarious and sometimes make no sense at all.

12. The clubs/socs butterfly
The friend that has no time for anybody or anything because they’re so absorbed in some glee club stuff. They are now on the committee of a club/soc and they constantly beg you to bring yourself and friends to their college events, which you say you will but never do.

13. The foodie
The friend that is a beast when it comes to food. Yes, they will pick food up which fell on the floor and claim that it is perfectly edible. They claim there is a “40 second rule.”

14.  The band member
The mate who has become part of  a band which you have no idea about. The band member friend will always invite you to their gigs, but you’ll never show up.

15 . The keep-fit babe
The friend always Instagramming clean meals and healthy meals and posting her workout routine that make us all feel like sh**.
