The internet is a really weird place - like REALLY weird - and it can get to points where you realise that anyone can post anything on there.
It can be a good weird from time to time, but a lot of times, we stumble upon things that are really quite odd.
And this includes the coconut rule.

What is the coconut rule you ask?
Well first, we need some context on where this 'rule' actually is.
A list has gone viral on Reddit that seemingly lists 'how to be a good woman' in what may be one of the weirdest things we've seen in a while.

The incredibly misogynistic list highlights the things that a woman 'should' aspire to do.
Items on the list include things like 'low body count/dresses modestly', 'no trauma/unaddressed trauma', 'can cook and clean', 'waist to hip ratio of 0.7', and many more - you can see the full list below.
There's even one that comments on areola size, which for those of you who don't know, is the dark skin that surrounds the nipple.
It's a really shocking read, and most of the things on there aren't even controllable, but all of it is unreasonable and frankly disturbing.

But one of them in particular has stood out to users on the website.
It states that a good woman 'can spell coconut with her waist'.
A lot of people were left confused by what this meant, maybe it's something to do with holidays?

But no, it is actually something to sex, unsurprisingly with the nature of everything else on this hell-ridden list.
One user asked: "This whole list is f**ked but what is with the coconut one ? I’m afraid to ask what it means."
A helpful user explained: "Basically if you don't know what to do if you're on top riding, you try to spell 'coconut' with your hit movements. Some weird a** tip that went viral."
So this user has their demands for sex on top of everything else, it doesn't look like they'll find anyone with all these parameters, or even if they do, who's to say they would want to be with them?

Other Reddit users shared their disgust at the list in the comments, with one saying: "I’m amazed that everyone is hung up on the low blood iron and the coconut thing. Are we all just going to ignore 'open to labiaplasty'??"
Another commented: "I've had low iron levels and was constantly fainting due to it. I don't know how they expect a woman to lose weight after birth, if she doesn't have the energy to do it in the first place."
A third put: "First date question; How reasonable are your areolas?"
Quite gross, quite weird, and very disturbing is how I would summarise this whole thing.
