In the latest social media craze, a TikTok challenge is putting men on the spot, asking them a seemingly simple question: Can you name a woman? 

Originating from a viral moment on Billy Eichner’s show, "Billy on the Street," the challenge has taken the internet by storm.

While there is technically no right or wrong answer, participants have found themselves in amusing and sometimes awkward situations.

Many suggest that the ideal response should be the name of a man's female significant other, leading to both expected and unexpected replies.

Social media star Allison Kuch joined the trend with her husband, Isaac Rochell, but things took an unexpected turn when he blurted out the name "Kaitlyn." 

The lighthearted exchange left viewers laughing at the spontaneous nature of the challenge.

The challenge has seen a variety of responses, from historical figures like Susan B. Anthony to pop culture references such as Rebecca Sugar, the creator of Steven Universe. 

The trend showcases the diversity of thoughts that can cross one's mind when faced with a deceptively simple question.

Whether it's celebrities like Megan Fox, Taylor Swift, or Anne Hathaway, participants have shown both quick wit and hesitancy in their answers.

The challenge brings a light-hearted touch to social media, encouraging spontaneous and genuine moments as individuals navigate their way through the unexpected question.
