About
The Woman Facepalming emoji (🤦♀️) is the visual equivalent of that deep, weary sigh when someone does something so obviously wrong that you can't even form words. She's the patron saint of secondhand embarrassment, perfectly capturing that moment when you witness peak human foolishness and need to physically shield yourself from the stupidity. This emoji has become the go-to response for everything from your friend texting their ex at 2am to watching politicians try to explain how the internet works.
