Of course, not everyone likes this twitter thread, some people find the trend sexist:

Because some of the tweets were a little pointed:

Don’t ask me where they go these comparisons from, I couldn’t possibly know. But one thing is sure, you have NEVER seen your states – or women – so graphically described.
