Like, think about how many times you've seen a woman apologize versus a man. There's a wiiiiide gap there. And don't just take it from me — it's actually been statistically proven that women are better at apologizing.

And X user @moh__mi is clearly well aware of this phenomenon — because they recently asked everyone to "apologize like a man." And people responded with some real knee-slappers that'll either make you chuckle or roll your eyes. Or both simultaneously.
