If you like -

  1. fashion
  2. make up
  3. Love Island
  4. going out for coffee in the morning

Then don’t worry about your chromosomes or whether you’ve got a vagina, that’s what it takes to be a typical woman according to IW’s latest X post!

But don’t they claim being a TW isn’t about gender stereotypes?

Apparently, according to IW, his friends were inside the shop!

Oh shit, I don't drink or even like coffee, have never seen Love Island, don't wear make-up, don't follow fashion as looking stylish and chic are way more important to me. I also don't have breasts, ovaries or fallopian tubes thanks to cancer. Am really woman-ing wrong.

😢

You get to wake up tomorrow morning, look in the mirror and see a brilliant example of womanhood.

That is something India can only dream of.

Jetskicat · 20/07/2025 21:53

Help! I am utterly confused about my 'womanhood'. I've got all the way to my 50s with a son and now I discover first, according to Isla Bumba, that I need to have a chromosome test to confirm I'm female and now India says I should be watching Love Island. OMG - am I'm actually a man after all this time?

Nothing takes away from you being a brave honest woman. Not even a narcissistic man. Thank you for sharing your female power, despite your tragedy. It’s what made you awesome. Best of luck courageous one.

I’m in awe of you.

You are womanning 100% perfectly. ❤

Why is a 60 year old bloke watching Love Island?

I bet his mum is in charge of the remote and makes him.

SabrinaThwaite · 20/07/2025 19:42

Fortunately The Dame has the measure of IW.

🤣🤣🤣
The Dame is spot on as usual!

I like fashion but from what I’ve seen, India certainly doesn’t.

I wear make up on occasion but I wouldn’t say I’m particularly in to it.

I’ve never watched Love Island or anything else of the same ilk.

I prefer tea in the morning but I’m too busy working to go out for it.

I’ve given birth but never fathered a child.

IW is still full of shit.

JustFish · 20/07/2025 20:54

This is a 60 year old man trying to tell women we are defined by the most trivial, vapid simpering stereotype of femininity so he can deal with his repressed homosexuality by making himself into sort of basic bitch/ bimbo image he perceives as attractive to men.

All the while criticising real, actual, genuine women, their looks, personalities, talents and abilities. ( writing books! Sneer! ) There's nothing wrong with coffee, Tv, fashion and makeup: but an elderly deluded surgery addict telling women that his outdated stereotypes should be female limitation, ambition and normality? He can fuck off.

Also, the table is empty, it's a sad reflection.

I know several girls/women that like all the above, they are all under 18.

India is almost 60!

My biological age is nearly 60. It’s okay though, I’m identifying as a 30 year old and my doctor has confirmed that my periods will start again soon now that I have decided I’m young again. 👍

BunnyRuddington · 20/07/2025 20:49

Oh no. Turns out I’ve been doing Womaning all wrong too.

  1. Couldn’t tell you what’s in fashion
  2. I do wear make up sometimes. Wouldn’t say I was interested and don’t wear it a lot of the time.
3 Had to laugh at Love Island. The only people I know who watch it are randy teen boys.
  1. Don’t even like coffee.
FuzzyPuffling · 20/07/2025 20:34

Up until now, I had never seen a photo of IW.

I 😅 🤣 😂 laughed.

Willoughby is such a sexist guy.

This is what a bloke thinks women do.

Going to the pub and drinking pints of brown ale

Sitting with your legs wider than any other man telling fart jokes

Wearing your pants more than once before washing them.

Carrying a hood

That's four. Fairly comprehensive for anyone needing a checklist of activities to do if they think they might be a man.

Don’t forget playing pocket billiards with your nuts when you think no one’s watching.

Oh and hammering drywall - isn’t that what all blokey blokes spend their days doing?

Just to say there’s absolutely nothing wrong with liking fashion, make up, love island and coffee with friends if that’s what you enjoy. But there’s no being a proper woman test to pass or fail other than having XX chromosomes and being an adult.

I only vaguely do number 2 about twice a week to not scare the natives.
I am really womaning all wrong. I write books and "all sorts of thoughtful things", I mean using my brain isn't at all womanly - according to a MAN.

Well I don’t fit that either. I must be asexual with a sprinkling of womaness.

NameChangedOfc · 20/07/2025 20:21

It doesn't even make grammatical sense.

ErrolTheDragon · 20/07/2025 20:16

such silly misogyny to think there’s such a thing as a ‘typical woman’.
And the women he knows for sure aren’t like him like Maya and She Who Must Not Be Named are exceptional!😂
