Relationship-y hashtags like "Mistakes Girls Make" and "Why I'm Single" trend on Twitter trend all the time, but this one -- though somewhat tongue-in-cheek -- invites an especially misogynistic and ugly brand of insecurity masquerading as comedy.

There are things she cannot do, sadly, because she is not Spiderman:

Or other things:
