The 'Don't Tell Me What To Do' blanket by Look Human is anything but subtle.

The blanket is intended for independent women -- ones who don't need any men, least of all those who have a desire to tell them what to do. In the immortal words of Liz Lemon, being a woman is "the worst! Because of society." From experiencing sexual harassment in the work place, to being told to smile on the street, it sure ain't easy.

If you're fed up with the seemingly endless, and definitely arbitrary, list of expectations that society has placed upon you, let it be known with this [sassy blanket](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aries-x-proton-vpn-blanket) -- complete with a [hissing pussycat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blunt-cat-ai) to really drive the point home.
