30 Things That Nobody Bats An Eye About If It’s A Guy Doing It, But Loses Their Wits If It’s A Woman Doing It, As Listed By Folks Online

I asked a grumpy colleague if he was Manstrating as he had asked me if I was on my period a few weeks before when I was grumpy..

Yup. And when women are angry it's always about "hormones" (pms or pregnancy) so it's considered "not valid". I hate that assumption. Yes, I do tend to have less patience with stupid things while pms-ing or being pregnant BUT it's the very same anger I would have regardless. I just don't feel the same need to hide it (and sometimes that's a good thing compared to feeling the need to pretend everything is fine when it's not because you don't want to be "difficult")

“Oh, you must just be on your period” what does that have to do with anything?

When women get angry they are either "emotional" or get gaslighted into being a "Karen". It'S disgusting.

Women have emotions and are allowed to feel.

#2, going hiking alone — it IS dangerous, at least in the Southern California area. Homeless men, who are EVERYWHERE, will harass a woman when they wouldn’t think of approaching a man.

Yeah, bragging about sex for a guy, he's a stud, for a woman, she's a whore. Showing dominance in a conversation, or getting angry is also judged differently, coming from a woman.

There are very rigid stereotypical roles for the sexes and stepping outside of them makes people feel uncomfortable with you. Luckily some of those barriers have been/are being broken down. Maybe my grandchildrens' grandchildren will live in a society where this BS no longer exists - I don't see it happening any time sooner..

The hiking one - that's because it is more dangerous for women alone in the woods. Because of creepy (usually) men in those woods.

Number three!! At a school assembly this guy litterally leaned across me to yell at his friend, yelled in my face, spit all over me so I shoved him and said you need to get tf out of my personal space (he had one hand on my left should the other on my right leg, so yeah he was leaning all the way across me and had been screaming in my ear the whole damn assembly) and when I told my mom she goes you need to watch your tone and don’t be mean to people. Wtf??? I’m sure if a guy did that it’d be fine but noooo becuase im a bio girl.

It should be personal preference. I personally don't enjoy feeling little hairs blowing in the wind on my legs, and I don't like how pit hairs hang on to odors, or the way it itches. But some people don't care and that's okay. There are men who shave their body hair, too. To some, that is weird.

An incident last summer annoyed me so much. I'm tall with back problems, shaving my legs is an extreme sport, so I don't do it often. I was wearing capris so a bit of leg was exposed and my mom and sister spent a lot of time pointing out my body hair and how it was unhygienic not to shave and just unsightly. I pointed to my uncles hairy legs in his shorts and asked what the difference was. "It's expected from women, it's just different, that's all." I wore shorts out of spite the next day.

I hate it when people say underarm hair on women is unhygienic....if its not for men, why would it be for women?!!

Humans are mammals and we have hair. It's natural. Get over it

I'm don't even think men should have body hair. It's f****n nasty lol. But as StrangeOne says. It's personal preference. I'm not gonna b***h about it if a woman has a hairy bod.

I don't know a single father who calls it babysitting. I have a daughter, and I get angry if anyone says that I am babysitting, I am not babysitting I am parenting!!

Used to P**S me off when my y husband said this!!! Uugghhhh 😠

I'm a divorced guy, I've never once in my life referred to watching or having my kids as babysitting. I've always said "This is my time or my weekend with my kids or little monsters" because I actually enjoy babysitting my kids. 😜😂

I notice this is less of a thing now..

I confronted a guy in the playground when he said that he was "babysitting for his wife." I said, "Oh? I'm sorry - I thought you said that they were YOUR children." He had the grace to look embarrassed.

Aaaaaaaaaand that's another country where I, a solo female world traveler, won't be spending my hard-earned money. Crappy human rights and women's rights? No thanks, plenty of other, safer places to go in the world. Ya need to fix that.

Or Qatar, or Saudi Arabia, or Turkey, or Pakistan....

Considering everything going on in Iran right now, this should be at the very top

I never want to be told "watch your tone" and be called " Lady" ever again. I never want to be told "You look so tired. Are you sick?" or hear my mom comment on a celebrity's aging appearance. I never want to be asked about how many men I've slept with. (Although that doesn't happen much.) And I NEVER want to be interrupted again. That is something I'm working on. People can wait for me to finish speaking entirely before it's their turn to talk. I get interrupted so much by people all through the years it's difficult for me to even think how I'm finishing my sentence.

Knowing more about a technical or aka *masculine* subject, Like plumbing, carpentry, electrical, plastering, painting or being capable and dealing with the fallout from fragile, bruised egos…. My husband is very proud of me and my handiness around the house, thanks to my father and Grandfather teaching me. I can open a glass jar: technique- run the lid under scalding hot water all the way around, then tap the edge of the lid and simply twist with a rewarding ‘pop’ sound as the seal breaks and men in the immediate vicinity feel just a little bit, erm, shall we say, surprised? This takes a bit of technique…. GASP! Being able to carry impressively heavy loads without requiring assistance! I am a very good shot with a rifle, ( target, hunted with my Grandfather until my early twenties, now I would never shoot a living thing). Not being deferential to ‘alpha’, brash or patriarchal men but instead being clear, concise and assertive. Sadly, I used to camp by myself for a week…

Women don't fart, they just panty fluff. 😂

Men are usually considered old and dignified, women are viewed as old and past their prime!

Bad behavior for either sex, being just as much of a pig as some men is not a step forward for womankind.

I never wanted kids and seemed to attract single dads looking for child-free women since they didn't want more kids. Then they got offended if I turned them down because they wanted me to be a mother to their kids.

YES. I am a woman who never wanted kids and its made for some REALLY weird conversations. Why do ppl who have/want children assume it is so natural for everyone to be that way and if you dont theres something really wrong with you?? If more ppl who shouldnt have kids didnt, the world would be less full of traumatized adults.

I'm 42, my mom still says she doesn't know what she did wrong because I don't want kids. So weird
