 When the excellent #MyGirlfriendNotAllowedTo and #MyBoyfriendNotAllowedTo hashtags went viral, the tweets quickly turned sarcastic and satirical. At least, we hope these were meant to be satirical.

Example:

  • "#MyGirlfriendNotAllowedTo breathe, when you breathe, your chest expands. Who you pushing your chest out for? Answer me."
  • "#MyBoyfriendNotAllowedTo have candles on his birthday cake. What are you wishing for? All your dreams came true when you met me."
