Ayesha Curry greeted her husband off the court with some confetti for a good day at work, and some guys on Twitter couldn’t handle it.

Specifically, guys who look to social media and take #RelationshipGoals a little bit too literal. Per usual, debates popped up on the TL that infuriated most of us. Here are the reasons we need to keep Ayesha Curry’s name off the TL in reference for how a woman should or shouldn’t be.
1. She’s not your poster child for patriarchy, she’s a human being
Ayesha Curry seems like a nice woman. You don’t have to prop her up as a pillar of respectability. I assure you, you don’t.

2. She’s also not an opportunity to flex all your feminism theory as this tweet accurately mocked
If you take Ayesha Curry on a $200 date and she orders her steak well-done, but she makes her man’s plate first, how intersectional is she?

QTNA:
SCREAMING. Does she have natural hair & is she woke though? https://t.co/SrXiPN9BMu

3. She can be on your vision board, but #RelationshipGoals does not mean recreate that relationship, because hint: it already exist. Do you, boo!
@JamilahLemieux folks are so uncomfortable in their own being that they’d forfeit an original, soul-tying experience for a carbon copy.

4. She got her good thing, now you go get yours. Because what is for you is for you.
Steph and Ayesha got married at 22 and 21. They stay in church. If that’s not anything like you, stop comparing yourself/other people to ’em

5. She’s a whole human being, not characteristics to fit your narrow point of view.
Both sides, not just one. It’s #WomensHistoryMonth fam. Stop removing women’s identity & generalizing who they are for your argument.

6. But… adjectives can’t hate an individual?
Why do females hate Ayesha Curry ? I just want to know
— Damarcus (@SauceMonny) March 9, 2016
7. If you want a supportive woman just go outside, beloved.
When u come home from the 9-5 u want confetti? RT @Zoo757: Yea I need me an Ayesha Curry pic.twitter.com/pX4k2p1PHI

8. And stop reaching for someone who already found love
@ayeshacurry girl I hope you have security because every man tryin to get them a you today hahahahah

9. Regardless of your “type”, if her name includes a ‘Mrs.’ your chances are slim
Steph Curry married Ayesha Curry. Kanye West married Kim Kardashian. You’re not marrying either of them, so please be quiet.

10. And let’s keep it real, what you’re looking for is a supportive woman, and you probably shaded her for not looking like Ayesha.
If Ayesha Curry looked like Danai Gurira dudes wouldn’t be so pressed.

11. And take your one-dimensional relationship theories off Twitter.
Kim Kardashian, Ayesha Curry, and Future form the Unholy Trinity of Played out Twitter relationship conversations.
— Black Guy Emeritus (@ReverendDrDash) March 9, 2016
12. Because you will not prosper in the DMs with that attitude.
You are “looking for Ayesha” on Instagram, in the club and while messing with women you don’t respect? Ah, okay.
— jamilah lemieux (@JamilahLemieux) March 9, 2016
13. Just stop it.
Someone skipped class to make this meme RT @YourFavoriteZoe: These are the type of women that hate Ayesha Curry pic.twitter.com/9GLPnsdfs7
— ChampagnePetty (@__Dutch) March 9, 2016
14. And for the ladies out here actually taking into consideration these “looking for an Ayesha” tweets, please listen to Cardi B
I met a girl in Cali like Ayesha .she taught me how to be graceful and I taught her how to give a blowjob.Women need each other #womanpowaa
— Cardi B (@iamcardib) March 9, 2016
15. Because the truth of the matter is…
We needs to stop making different type of woman go against each other .We still get heartbroken by you Fuck Boys
— Cardi B (@iamcardib) March 9, 2016
So the lesson of the day is that women are human beings, not adjectives, and not clones of who men deem worthy of their attention. Fall in love with who you fall in love with, and if you haven’t yet, keep your bitterness to yourself.
