And let’s be honest, men have been writing bad women characters—ahem, “heaving breasts”—since, well, men have been writing. Are you ready for a cringefest? Below, a sampling of the entries Penn put together (using Reddit and Twitter) for us to gawk at:

4. We’re not denying the beauty of the human body, but if you’re gonna devote an entire paragraph to describing breasts at least make sure the writing is good.
