Three days after author Lori Alexander tweeted her unsolicited opinion on female police officers and military officers, the Canadian military pushed back with a video reply.


Alexander's ignorant tweet gained a serious amount of backlash.

People could not believe the blatant sexism and objectification of women coming from a woman.





The Canadian Forces In The USA tweeted a direct response to the criticism in the form of a tribute to women in the military.


"They've always dressed for the job. They've always dressed like us. They are Us."

People were overjoyed to see, in one user's words, that "Karen got owned."





Meanwhile, Alexander, who asks questions on her inflammatory blog like "Should mothers have careers?" has been receiving resistance to her ignorance from all corners of the internet.







Alexander's philosophy of telling women how to behave is well outlined on her blog.

"My ministry is based upon Titus 2:3-5 in which God commands that older women teach younger women to be sober, love and obey their husbands, love their children, be chaste, discreet, good, and keepers at home."

But despite her claims that the military and uniformed careers are "men's jobs," things have changed since the 1800s that Alexander seems stuck in.

In the United States:

"According to the Defense Department, women now make up 20 percent of the Air Force, 19 percent of the Navy, 15 percent of the Army and almost 9 percent of the Marine Corps. Women now make up approximately 10 percent of the current veteran population, the fastest-growing demographic."

So, there.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
