Facebook videos have become an increasingly popular thing circulating around the Internet. It's easy to get lost by scrolling through seeming endless video traps. Popular trends in these short video clips seem to be food and DIY videos. The food videos I have absolutely no problem with because I have had many of them saved in my saved videos page for so long just waiting to be cooked. Most of the DIY videos I don't have a problem with, except for a few select videos.

"*Insert some cool DIY project here* for women!"

Now, I don't know about you, but I'll sit and watch these videos and severely judge them. It's one of those instances where it demonstrates that it is possible for you to do anything you want to as a woman, but then dashes all of that hope to the ground by saying that we need our own special tips and tricks to complete them. Many of them are so downright degrading too. One of them depicts cutting into a plastic bottle in order to create a cradle for a toilet plunger. Men can easily do the same task! It's not just women who are responsible for finding creative ways to make the home more accessible.

Some of the videos show seemingly easy ways to make your life easier, when really it just makes you question your entire gender. For example, the same video that shows the toilet plunger cradle shows someone putting a condom over a beauty blender to save time washing them. Now, that might be helpful to people who use beauty blenders, and I'm not sure how hard it is to wash them, but I don't think that I would resort to using a condom to blend my makeup. Plus, I would rather take the extra time to wash them than to worry if my face is going to break out because of some other foreign object on my face.

I just think that DIY videos shouldn't be separated by gender. Everyone should be able to partake in DIY videos. Crafting is fun, enjoyable and innovative, and shouldn't be subjected to labels.

They also shouldn't have to think about factoring in common sense, but that's a conversation for a later time.
