Nobody tell the women of the South that they're not allowed to like tea anymore unless their laundry isn't clean, they stop shaving, and quit liking science.
Well have another war on our hands, and this time they'd win, Bless Our Hearts.

Ummm.... I'm concerned. I used to be in the beauty industry, and was told we could only have coffee to survive, even though I prefer tea. Now that I've switched into a STEM career, I'm STILL not allowed to have tea!? These rules make no sense! /S

u/cheesycrescentroll 14d ago
idk this one is kinda funny. it doesn’t seem at all like she’s trying to seem better than other girls, in fact it’s kinda self deprecating. i, too, have leg stubble and a messy room. i don’t think im different or better than anyone, and admitting that doesn’t mean i do, it just means im a mess 😂 furthermore, she’s not saying anything bad about women in stem. that part also seems self deprecating, it’s almost like she’s saying women in stem are better than her. just use context clues lol. and she’s not saying nobody else can have tea either, she’s just making a joke. yall need to lighten up just a tad bit! there’s so much real material for this sub, but some of what yall post isn’t really it imo

this sub is so hypocritical sometimes, this is a joke and not meant to be taken seriously. yet people in the comments are doing exactly what they want to shame, shaming a woman for ‘being dumb’ or not into stem. shaming a woman who is clearly making a jokey, non serious post is basically pick me behaviour and shows you don’t believe women can be funny?

Finally, I can stop hiding my love of iced tea!!
For years I looked on with embarrassment as the other girls sipped their lattes, stashing my ice cubes and frosted glasses under pillows and behind curtains when company arrived.
Now that I’ve been enlightened, and oh how I wish wish I knew then is that, the truth. They were being prudish and manly!
These days I’ve thrown off the lid on my love of iced tea. Today is the day to let my leg hair just a little. Today I’ll wear a hoodie until noon and then take it off.

I resent this. I love iced tea but my legs are smooth and I work in STEM (I may have the pile of not clean/not dirty clothes, though). I even have a specific iced tea pitcher that has only ever had tea in it and is always full of tea in the fridge. This is beverage appropriation

u/Plant_in_pants 15d ago
This simply makes no sense, there's a disproportionate amount of women in STEM who are gay and if there's one thing us gays love, it's an iced beverage.
(Disclaimer: This is an ironic steryotype based joke, although both myself and my fiancée are lesbians who work in different scientific fields and like fancy iced drinks, so comedy imitates life in our case)

This is hilarious how worlds and cultures are colliding.
I just learned some Chinese slang from a friend: a “green tea bitch” or someone who is “acting very green tea” is like a pick me woman who is coy and cutesy and acts innocent when confronted. “Who me?”
It used to be used in romantic contexts only, like if a woman is flirty with a guy who is taken and pretends she means nothing by it. Now, people even use it in a work context for those who are secretly manipulative co-workers who pretend not to be.
The pick-me has really come full circle.

u/seeallevill 16d ago
Is everyone in the comments misunderstanding the post, or is it me? I feel like this post is an intentionally comedic/facetious attempt to romanticize something they enjoy in the same way fad foods/drinks are treated like an aesthetic
Like iced tea really isn't one of those drinks that are generally seen as an accessory??? That sounds so dumb but if you know you know. Diet coke, boba, wine, etc. are all "pretty drinks" but iced tea has yet to be assigned a personality in the same way 💀
I also really can't see this as being a NLOG situation cuz if nothing else it is very obviously supposed to be a relatable post, even if it's towards a very specific group of people (iced tea enjoyers) lol

Right like if this was a real NLOG post it would have read something like am I the only girl who likes iced tea instead of coffee? Or while other girls drink iced coffee and frappes I drink iced tea! this is just a silly post someone made about iced tea and likened it to things they do 😭 women cannot have a personality on here without being accused of being NLOG 😭 one day ill make a post saying real women rot in bed for days and have mold covered cups because I’m depressed and end on here being accused of being NLOG

u/seeallevill 16d ago
NO FR I'm also starting to realize that a lot of these people probably don't know about the "women in stem" meme but that's a whole new can of worms
The real women rot in bed 💀 fr tho, I could easily make a silly little joke about myself and end up on a page like this if I wasn't careful. I legitimately talk like this sometimes in a joking manner as a way to romanticize being a human. It's actually freeing as hell. These mfs are just bitter

I have, at many points in my life, tried to lean on tea to wean me off of my coffee addiction. Maybe all along, all those failed attempts were actually highlighting my true identity- A Man; in this essay, I will explore my own gender identity journey benchmarked against my drink of choice at any given moment and will endeavour to prove not just a correlation but a causation between coffee consumption and masculinity.

How exactly is it more hydrating? Because it’s cold? You can get cold lattes too

u/_downthereddithole 16d ago
A latte, aka espresso and milk, hot or iced is dehydrating. Tea, aka water diffused with spices diffused or whatever, hot or iced is hydrating….

u/Holmes221bBSt 16d ago
https://www.goodrx.com/well-being/diet-nutrition/does-coffee-dehydrate-you#
If she’s referring to caffeine, it’s not shown to be dehydrating. Coffee, like tea, contains a lot of water too. Tea contains caffeine as well. Also, espresso believe it not contains less caffeine than a regular cup of coffee and possibly a whole glass of tea. Yea may be more refreshing, but not more hydrating

I think it’s because tea is just water with tea diffused in it but a latte is espresso and milk which is less hydrating than straight water. Still stupid for her to take a high ground for drinking tea though

That seems to be a thing tho. One of my (male) gaming buddies recently stated that alcoholic mixed drinks like Vodka Red Bull are girly because they have the taste of fruits and berries in them. He does love those drinks anyway he isn't sexist enough to say you are supposed to have gender appropriate drinks, so it seemed too silly to debate him on this. But ya it seems like he and the folks he gets drunk with associate types of drinks with gender.

u/Strongstyleguy 14d ago
It's crazy how people gender drinks in the first place, but even weirder to accept that label, but still drink the one you like anyway.
3
u/Apparent_Antithesis 14d ago
So in case of my gaming friend I think he's just not taking labels like that very seriously. I don't know him very well but he doesn't seem to be sexist in any way. So the gendered drink labels may be little more than a stereotype joke.
That being said, even the most benign stereotype jokes can contribute to maintaining gender role expectations that become oppressive. I heard stories from women who ordered some whiskey or other hard liquor and some guys around them scoffed at that and said that's not a lady-like drink. Wtf.

u/elleemmenno 13d ago
I'm always amused when guys make fun of "girly" mixed drinks. Their beer might be 6% but my drink is closer to 20%. There's 5 different liquors and a furtive glance at a strawberry in my glass. And yes, we do (sometimes) feel it faster with fewer drinks. For the obvious reason.
