You don't have to be a feminist to enjoy some of the humor at a site called stickergiants. They have a category dedicated to females titled, women's issues.
I scrolled down the page and chuckled the whole way as I went along. There are some bumper stickers with familiar sayings such as, "Pro Choice," the picture of Rosie the Riveter with muscles flexed saying, "We Can Do It," and of course,"God is coming and SHE is pissed!"
There are also some original ones such as,
- "Real Women Don't Have Hot Flashes, They Have Power Surges"
- "Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History"
- "Eve was Framed"
- "A Clean House is a Sign of a Wasted Life."
Even if you're not interested in purchasing any of the items, if you need a quick giggle, you should check out the site.
