Pronouns on email signatures. It’s mostly women who do it* (‘be kind’) and it’s mostly women who suffer from direct and indirect sexism as a result (studies show that constantly affirming the fact you’re a female lowers your self esteem Sad)

*I have observed this to be the case in the field I work in anyway.

Removing lawns and gardens to replace them with gravel and stones. Looks vile.

And required when people aren't able to do any gardening

Unicorns 🦄 everywhere just everywhere. I don't know why but they cheapen every piece of child's clothing that they are printed on, even my kids can't stand them, why does every second adult think that kids love unicorns🙄
Same samey makeup,every teenager and young twenty somethings look like clones, big "on point " eyebrows,same layered foundation,same contour,you can't even tell who's who in photograph anymore .
Selfies!!!!!!!!! Oh the shame,the cringe when I see someone post a selfie,what are you going?? What do you want us to do or say here???? You are fab, you are nice, look at you. Please please can we drop the ridiculous half eye lid shut, lip pouting, come to bed pose, it is beyond embarrassing 🙈

Influencers 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈 God I die a little inside when I think of What our predecessors would think if they were alive today to see this, what they went through and the sacrifices they made in their lives to fight for freedom, to fight for their country..to be there for one another and help one's neighbour, and really be there,not just the saying you will be there kind. And now we have "influencers" 😣

Sequins. Cushions, ornaments - they're everywhere.

Crushed mirror decor - not just mirrored furniture, but whole pieces covered in broken mirror pieces and covered in resin or more glass.

Surely if people stopped being 'influenced' by them they would cease to exist. I've no idea how it works or how they make money, some random person recommedting something it seems
