The internet can sometimes seem like bleak place to spend time, there are arguments over why a black actress can’t play the role of The Little Mermaid, people defending Love Island’s Michael gaslighting ex-partner Amber, and mean commentary about how many gushing wedding photos a bride is allowed to post.

However, now and again you stumble across a gem. Allow us to present to you one of the best Twitter threads we’ve seen all year. It all started when Twitter user @brownandbella tweeted; ‘Women, what is the dumbest thing a man ever said to you about sex, reproductive health, menstruation, etc? Reply with a comment below, no quote RTs. Let's laugh at these dummies together!’

The tweet now has over 20 thousand likes, 3 thousand replies – and we can’t stop reading them.
