"Does the #womancard get you airline points or cash back? Oh, just lower pay and street harassment? Cool!"

After winning five states in the GOP primaries on Tuesday, Donald Trump focused on insulting Hillary Clinton in his victory speech. Trump said the "only card" that Hillary Clinton has is the "woman card," adding that if she were a man he didn't think she'd get 5 percent of the vote.

Clinton responded, in her own victory speech, "If fighting for women’s health care and paid family leave and equal pay is playing the 'woman card,' then deal me in."

On Wednesday, a flurry of social media users posted their own reactions to Trump's comments, turning his "woman card" reference into a string of jokes highlighting systemic sexism, the gender pay disparity and more.

The hashtag #womancard began trending on Twitter as journalists and other Twitter users poked fun at Trump's statement.

"Despite the fact that the 'woman card' isn’t a thing, and, if it were, no woman would want it — what would it get you?" asked Jezebel's Stassa Edwards. "Unequal pay and a guaranteed lifetime of emotional labor?"

The Washington Post's Alexandra Petri wrote a satirical analysis on the "rewards" of a woman card. 

"Unlike Man Cards, Woman Cards do not increase in value as they age," wrote Petri. "In fact, they depreciate. Do not collect Woman Cards. Even in mint condition, they are worthless." She added, "The Woman Card entitles you to constant scrutiny and judgment from all corners at all times, whether you asked for it or not. Try talking! Or rather, don’t."
