Social Media has been in a frenzy to shine a light on absurd gender stereotypes using the hashtag #MasculinitySoFragile. The social construction of men in today's society is under the impression that masculinity needs to be associated with crazy bro-isms. Most of which are due to some truly ridiculous marketing campaigns.
Just remember to buy the proper Kleenex brand or forever be considered a wussy.
Kim Kardashian posted a video of Kanye West's phone call with Taylor Swift approving of the controversial lyrics to 'Famous' and the Internet went wild.
It didn't take long for the hashtag #KimExposedTaylorParty to get started, so, if you might have missed out on all the drama over the weekend, here are the dirty details as told by Twitter.
It’s the last Friday before the election, and things are getting crazy. Could they get crazier? Sure. We’d all love that.
Well, Julian Assange is here to stir the cauldron if you will with a little “Spirit Cooking.” What is “Spirit Cooking,” you ask? CNET has a really handy explainer:
“The top trend on Twitter on Friday morning comes from an alleged WikiLeaks email of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta discussing spirit cooking. WikiLeaks tweeted that it involves "blood, sperm and breastmilk." Spirit cooking refers to performance artist Marina Abramovic's "cookbook" of recipes to cook up thoughts -- not meals. However, some on Twitter are taking it to the extreme and accusing the former secretary of state of devil worship. "This is not the first or last time that WikiLeaks has tweeted propaganda while doing Putin's bidding," a Clinton campaign representative wrote in an email. CNET cannot independently verify the information in the alleged email, and it is be entirely possible that someone altered the email before it was publicly released.”
Here's the tweet:

Ok. So, I guess, Hillary Clinton and her team are a bunch of witches now. If she is a witch, please, Hillary, make me a potion that will make me sleep for 1,000 years or, at least, the next week.
A global roast on American swimmer Ryan Lochte is underway after recent reports claim that the swimmer completely made up the story that he and three other US Olympic swimmers were robbed at gunpoint.
The truth is that gold medal swimmers Lochte, Jack Conger, Gunnar Bentz and Jimmy Feigen were trying to cover up an altercation with a gas station security guard after busting down a bathroom door.
Conger and Bentz gave up Lochte to the cops and said he fabricated the entire robbery tale.
The fashionista entrepreneurs really outdid themselves with this line of clothing. Did some disheveled penny-pinching, derelicte bum stumble into the conference room halfway through an utterly stunted, blank-faced brainstorming session or what? Then again, Nordstrom is not one to disappoint us back here at Fail Blog when it comes to, well, Fail-worthy clothing. Remember those 'mom jeans' or that expensive stone? Yep. Ever entertaining.
Marco Gutierrez, founder of Latinos for Trump, found himself at the center of the hashtag #TacoTrucksOnEveryCorner after comments he made in an MSNBC on Thursday. The Trump surrogate warned of "taco trucks on every corner" as immigration remains unchecked and the internet (or anyone who can appreciate a good taco truck) can't find anything wrong with the idea.
Donald Trump just said for us to call him "Mr. BREXIT" on Twitter:
Understandably, the internet erupted in ridicule for the man who, until very recently, was unfamiliar with the term "BREXIT" entirely:
...and for the WIN:
Someone on the internet has declared June 29 as Heterosexual Pride Day.
On this day, just like every other day, a straight man or woman will be able to freely celebrate their sexual orientation without fear of harassment or bullying.
The hashtag #HeterosexualPrideDay has been trending on Twitter all day, and almost as soon as it appeared, the backlash began.
Sometimes a hashtag will come out of nowhere and surprise the world with its greatness. This is one of those hashtags.
Nearly every woman on Twitter is getting in on #NameYourVagina. Girls are tweeting the name of the last movie they watched and BOOM a name for their vagina is born. The more horrifying the movie the better.
Twitter is erupting with the hilarious hashtag of #NameBrandMovieQuotes. Check out some highlights here:

Bon Appétit invited the wave of mockery on themselves with this one. By asking people to 'not focus on that' they almost ensured a multi-course series of roastings from willing people on Twitter that couldn't help but note the stupidity of this particular foodie trend.
Hey! Remember that free trial you signed up for when you wanted to watch that dumb show? Remember when the internet was sucking and you turned wifi off on your phone? Well it's time to cancel that sh*t and reconnect to wifi so you're not using that data. These little things we forget are exactly what Twitter users are trying to remind us of in this trendingTwitter meme format. Some of these are pretty legitimate tips, and others...well, they're just a little bonkers.

Author, Kate O'Neill used her platform on Twitter to encourage people participating in online activities like the recent, trending profile picture aging meme on Facebook, to slow down and think about it critically. O'Neill asks people to consider how willingly posting that information online for Facebook's seemingly sentient algorithm to digest, can have a ripple effect on society as a whole; how that information can be fed into worldwide databases, sold off to advertising agencies, and used to exploit the very people that upload it, without considering the impacts, in the process. She doesn't aim to inspire panic in this Twitter thread, but instead, she wants us to think critically when considering the fast-changing landscape of the world around us. Some solid advice!
