Yes, ladies!

Piers Morgan found another way to rattle his followers this weekend when he tweeted about returning to work with an injury. In classic Piers fashion, the GMB host boastfully announced his return to the show, saying:

“UPDATE: I’ll be co-hosting GMB tomorrow with three broken ribs. For the more fragile snowflakes among you, this is called ‘manning up’.”

Yes, we know – blood boiling stuff, right? We don’t know if it’s just the tweet or the fact that it came from Piers, but it caused a lot of anger among followers. So much so that a new hashtag began trending. Women quickly began sharing their own stories of times they had to overcome struggle to get the job done, and they quickly dwarfed Piers’ complaint.

I gave birth twice with no drugs and tore open the packets of stitches to sew me up with my *teeth* as there was a staff shortage. Woman up. https://t.co/xyTnF9vnVl

I went to work after having part of my foot amputated, Piers, and didn't call attention to myself for it, just did my damn job. #womanup
