Following America’s diabolical doubling down on literally the worst man for the job who has already promised to steer the free world away from women’s rights, it seems pretty natural that women are, once again, openly sick of men’s shit. Yes, all men should probs be weary of this sentiment going into 2025, especially straight ones who expect to engage with us romantically. While we can’t just forget that the majority of white women voted for Trump (AGAIN), as well as 38% of latino women, it is nice to feel female solidarity among the younger and apparently wiser generations online.

First, TikTok introduced a lot of women to the 4B movement for the first time. Even in imperfect form, at least this conversation has encouraged the ladies with their labias in the clouds to lock in. Now, a new trend has taken over, and since I find laughter to be the best antidote, it couldn’t have come at a better time. The girlies are posting the ridiculous yet eerily universal story of typical male bullshit under the viral hashtag “women in male-dominated fields,” and I simply cannot get enough. What are the male-dominated fields in question? Follow me down the Nicki Minaj-narrated rabbit hole.

What does the “women in male dominated fields” TikTok trend mean?

It’s basically a flippant humorous play on the well-known #womeninSTEM movement (which pushed for female-identifying brains to infiltrate the male-dominated fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). In this pseudo-satirical campaign, the girlies are posting pictures or videos of themselves embodying big dick energy with captions joking about their plans to be a big dick using the classic male playbook — against a dude. From dark-sided dating tropes to the infamous ways men belittle their female counterparts in the workplace, this trend is all about calling out these nasty niche male behaviors by threatening to do the same to men.
