Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind? Only if they always tell you to smile.

Feeling like this New Year's celebration called for a feminist twist, writer and feminist Ijeoma Oluo took to Twitter to voice exactly what she hopes to achieve in 2015. And it didn't have to do with going to the gym more, being kinder or any of the other generic resolutions we so often see. Instead, Oluo created #FeministNewYearsResolution hashtag and hilariously reminded us what feminists really hope for this upcoming year.

When a dude says you're "not like other girls" say, "I know" and then unhinge your jaw and swallow him whole.

When people ask why you aren't married, yell "I'M MARRIED TO THE STRUGGLE" & flip over a table.

Stop telling dudes I have a boyfriend when I'm not interested.
