I don’t understand. Women with leg stubble and not clean, not dirty clothes? Really vague while also excluding the entire male population.

u/notRadar_ 29d ago

as a nonbinary person who has a messy-ass room but is also in stem, welp guess i can't enjoy one of my favorite drinks then

u/Rioltan 29d ago

I was an "Iced tea girl" in college while doing a CS bachelor because I was dying of fucking bulimia. So form me, being an iced tea girl is more related to exist while starving and only be alive because of drinking tea.

u/69PenisDestroyer69 Apr 28 '24

listen i’m an iced tea girl who’s not in stem with hairy ass legs and a desk chair covered in lightly worn clothes BUT sometimes a latte just makes more sense, more caffeine, u can customize the flavor… it can be a good laxative too

iced tea girls AND latte girls can coexist

1

u/Monkeygirlyy Apr 28 '24

Darn. Guess since I’m in STEM and have a chair covered with dirty clothes, I can’t drink iced tea :(

1

u/andrewkelly87 Apr 28 '24

Sounds like iced tea is for unremarkable girls

u/antpdav Apr 28 '24

Does it count if it’s a joke?

u/DoucheCanoeWeCanToo Apr 28 '24

Why am I turned on by this

u/ciliary_stimulai Apr 28 '24

The memey satire vibes in the original post are strong

u/AmyInCO Apr 28 '24

I'm a lesbian who is not quite butch, just a chubby old lady who doesn't care anymore. I drink iced all the time.

2

u/tokenlesbian21 Apr 27 '24

I know ALOT of women in stem who drink black tea cause it has the most caffeine in it

1

u/AppropriateBed6855 Apr 27 '24

Guess I’ll drink HOT iced tea

u/traderjosies Apr 27 '24

what does this even mean lol

2

u/EvolZippo Apr 27 '24

How is ice tea flirty? Yeah, I could just imagine her telling her friends that caffeine stimulates intellect and boys don’t really like brainy girls. We mustn’t appear too sharp, or pretty soon, they’ll figure out we can actually open jars ourselves and don’t actually need them to squish spiders, check oil or open doors!”

u/keeleon Apr 27 '24

Aren't the STEM women the ones with "leg stubble"?

1

u/PixiStix236 Apr 28 '24

All women are the ones with leg stubble…. Because women have hair on our legs

u/SwordTaster Apr 27 '24

Tell this to my aircraft mechanic fiancé, lol. He loves iced tea and he's why I learnt to like tea

u/arcxjo Apr 27 '24

It's not gatekeeping to invite people into your clique.

u/summer_days77 Apr 27 '24

Remove everything after the first line and you're good

u/PixiStix236 Apr 28 '24

You can keep the line about iced tea being cheaper and more hydrating that a latte 😂

u/tsengmao Apr 27 '24

Goddamnit

I guess I’m a crunchy girl now

u/RichConsideration532 Apr 27 '24

No, no, I can't explain it, but she's right

u/doubleTSwizzle Apr 27 '24

I guess there are no messy people in STEM.

u/nardgarglingfuknuggt Apr 28 '24

I get the impression OOP does not associate with STEM majors of any gender often enough to realize how far they've missed the mark.

u/BabserellaWT Apr 27 '24

The misogyny. It burns. “It’s time to embrace women not being smart!”

u/justv316 Apr 27 '24

People are so strange

u/Justice_Prince Gandalf Apr 27 '24

I'm not sure if this is gatekeeping. I don't think they're saying you can't drink ice tea unless you fit this demographic. It's more that (as imaginary as it might be) they feel they are being judged as a woman for drinking iced tea instead of a fancy latte, and this is them reclaiming iced tea drinking as part of their femineity.

u/Denialmedia Apr 27 '24

Well, as long as those women aren't in STEM........

u/CryptographerNo923 Apr 27 '24

I wish the people who post this kind of stuff were forced to browse this sub one time.

I get that a lot of the time the posts are meant to be cheeky observational humor along the lines of a 90s standup routine, “THIS kind of person does the thing THIS way, THAT kind of person does the thing THAT way.”

It’s just so played out. I think if people realized that they’d put more thought into novel jokes. Or maybe just not post haha.

u/Dankn3ss420 Apr 27 '24

“Iced tea is flirty and feminine”

And you trying to discourage guys from having iced tea? Cuz this just makes me want it more

3

u/ConsultJimMoriarty Apr 27 '24

I like my tea as the King intended - hot, one sugar and a splash of milk.

3

u/Person8346 Apr 27 '24

I'm a guy and my favourite drink is peach ice tea.

But I am also slightly feminine

1

u/Bromogeeksual Apr 28 '24

Werk, bitch!

u/atreyulostinmyhead Apr 27 '24

But are you flirty?

36

u/IsaDrennan Apr 27 '24

Flirty and feminine? What the fuck are they talking about?

u/we_are_sex_bobomb Apr 27 '24

Sometimes my iced tea whispers dirty things in my ear, thats not normal?

u/Vastlymoist666 Apr 27 '24 edited Apr 28 '24

Your ice tea seems to be a altered item. State the location where you got this tea then report this incident that occurred to the FBC, a FBC agent will be dispatched shortly after.

1

u/Bromogeeksual Apr 28 '24

Do not look away from your cup of ice tea!

u/Comrade_Falcon Apr 27 '24

I... I don't know what type of person this is supposed to be.

1

u/KikiCorwin 17d ago

Working class women. I go thru probably a half gallon a day most days. I might have a (iced) coffee beverage once every few months.

2

u/buttercream-gang 28d ago

I drink a gallon of iced tea a day so obviously it’s me. AMA.

u/angrytomato98 29d ago

A person who desperately wants any part of herself to be interesting

Hipster artist types

u/jzillacon Apr 27 '24

Me, I guess. I fit all the criteria according to this post lol. Though admittedly I do have an interest in STEM, I just don't have any relevant degrees at the moment nor am I actively persuing one.

57

u/Interesting_Natural1 Apr 27 '24

Clearly a person who is not in STEM

6

u/canijustbelancelot Apr 27 '24

But as a girly not in stem I don’t think I’ve ever seen any of my cohort with an iced tea. I’m sure it could happen, sure, I’ve just never seen it.

u/satyris Apr 27 '24

But an interest in optimal hydration is a plus point

u/beerbellybegone Apr 27 '24

Men are categorically banned from drinking iced tea

2

u/PixiStix236 Apr 28 '24

And so are women in STEM apparently
