On Tuesday, a Facbeook user going by the name 'Michelle Vitali' imagined how the world would treat Donald Trump if he were a woman.
The post highlighted the double standards during the presidential campaign.
'Michelle Vitali' whose Facebook profile features the post from Tuesday, is a resident of Edinboro, Pennsylvania.
A key passage from the original post was turned into this meme, which has stormed the internet, probably because of the added art work.

According to the Daily Kos, the meme first appeared on their Facebook page on Thursday.
The site alleges it was created by Sara Lynn Michener, and they confirmed the words came from Michelle Vitali.
The meme has been endorsed by the Twitterati, some of whom have credited her as 'Michelle Vitalione'. It appears this is simply due to error.
The full original post from Vitali's Facebook profile can be read here:
In addition to the sections used in the popular meme, Vitali contains virulent criticism of Trump, and sexism in America in general.
Last night proved to me that whatever I and other women accomplish, it will never be enough. Any gaseous chimpanzee can simply interrupt as much as he wants and throw some manure for good measure. He is a documented pathological liar, yet SHE has the reputation. He has a team of high-end accountants and lawyers who game the system in his favor, yet SHE is called a crook.
She goes on to say,
He’s a parasite on the American middle class, and the GOP that nominated him has become a metastatic tumor on our democracy.
Vitali closes her powerful essay with this:
I’m not a fan of Hillary but, screw it… I’m voting for her.
The internet has endorsed the meme and the message behind it.
