Listen up, ladies: #TakeHerHoodie is trending, and, yes, it's exactly what it sounds like. After all, it's a fairly well-known fact that we've been stealing the hoodies of our other halves for pretty much as long as they've been around (and before that, we're willing to bet we "borrowed" their sweaters and ruffled shirts and togas as well). And now, our S.O.s are taking their revenge.

We'll be the first to admit that there are few—if any—hoodies of our boyfriends' that go unworn. Sure, we have our own (we're strong, independent women!)—but why are theirs so much softer and comfier? We could dump all the laundry softener in the world on ours, and it wouldn't be the same. Sometimes they try to buy one and sneak it into their wardrobe without letting on, but we always find them.

Also they smell nice.

But now the menfolk are getting their long-simmering revenge with an open act of rebellion. They've taken to Twitter and Instagram en masse to shamelessly display the spoils of their victory, A.K.A. surreptitiously stealing one of our hoodies, and posing in it for their brethren to see. The results are often comical, despite the big ol' smirk they've slapped on their faces.

It began picking up steam earlier in October after 21-year-old Godswill Muofhe, a college student in Texas, took to Twitter and Instagram with the post that would spark a revolution.

He later explained what we women recognize as the natural order of hoodie-possession to Indy100.

"I started the hashtag as a joke because I noticed that a lot of girls were tweeting about stealing their boyfriend’s hoodie, since the weather got a bit colder. Typically the boyfriend buys a hoodie and the girlfriend takes it and never returns it, and men are left cold and hoodie-less. This movement allows men and women to equally exchange hoodies on an even playing field," he explained to Indy100.

Muofhe's initial post has been retweeted more than 43,000 times since he posted it—and the movement is still going strong. Just take a look at their paltry successes:

Muofhe does make one point we can agree with, however: "The hashtag pushes the envelope for toxic masculinity. It’s funny to see men wearing their girlfriend’s clothes and not being seen as less of a man," he added. We're here for that.

But we're also here for your hoodies, and frankly, boys, #TakeHerHoodie isn't doing much to deter us. Your Twitter takeover is transient, and our quest to "borrow" your hoodies will continue. So it has for millennia; so it shall ever be.

And besides, it's getting really cold out.
