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

Getting shouted at constantly by your spouse. For women, it's abuse. But men are just expected to suck it up

What a great well rounded post.

Get over it! It's not your body!

I've always corrected people on this whenever they tried saying my kid's dad was "babysitting". Her Dad even called it "babysitting". Parenting would've been a lot easier to cope with if I didn't feel like a single parent in a 2 parent family.

Boy I hear my women friends complain about this one every day.

Last night, I farted in front of my wife. She then did a louder fart, and said, "I see yours, and raise you mine". Farts are, and always will be, hilarious!

I don't want kids, and a woman who doesn't want kids is "a catch" to me 🙂

My friend took his wife's name because he had a Lon, complicated last name that people were constantly butchering. His wife had an easy last name, lol

I’ve been married twice and kept my last name. I never understood why people would go through all the hassle of changing their name. My current husband agreed that our son should have my last name because it’s simple, three letters, very difficult to misspell while his name is constantly misspelled and sounds a bit like a swear word.

My female cousin and her husband used her last name. Mainly because my cousin is a teacher and her husband's last name was Pratt.

I will never understand this one. I kept my last name. I love my last name, it's who I am. My husband doesn't own me. If you want to change it, but all means, that's your choice and your right, but don't give me a hard time for wanting to keep my name that's been mine my whole life.

Well usually men keep their names lol, I kept my ex husbands surname mainly because of our children, but so many bills, licenses, documents were all in the surname it would have been a pain to change them all .

I always joked that I'd keep my ex's surname until I tarnished it

Can I upvote this one 100 times?? I don't understand why woman do (or are expected) take their husband's last name. I have been married twice and I have never changed my name, I was born with my last name and I will die with my last name, it is who I am. I feel it is such an outdated custom from a time when women were considered men's property.

I kept mine. Mostly? My last name is slightly long, multiple syllables, his is one syllable and I always thought boring. Oh, and his sister and I share the same name. I decided one person in the family with the name was enough.

My wife has kept hers. I also had a male cousin who took his wife last name. they divorced and he gave his new wife the old wifes last name since he kept it thru the divorced.

My then-wife and I considered both of us changing our names since no one ever spelled mine correctly and she just never liked hers. We drew up a list and had some contenders, but in the end we decided to keep our original names, mostly because hers was part of the name of the company she was partners in. And it was simply easier for both of us to just keep things the way they were.

I've thought of hyphenating my last name. But with the boyfriend I have now my name would not sound any less "suggestive". I'd rather just go by his last name. However, I like how short my last name is and I've already established my signature. I'm not sure what complications occur when you change your name. It seems scary in a way. If I keep my last name it would create some confusion, possibly. I just dk at this point. I think we could be together unmarried.

My wife kept her last name. It's a hard-to-spell Polish name. Now, she has to spell it for EVERYONE. And, they still get it wrong. Oh well.

Kept my name. No problem here. Since no children ever were planned....

I'm researching my family's genealogy, and was surprised how common it was in Jewish families for the man to take the wife's name. Not only that, but having double last names was pretty common as well. Most of these "hyphenated" (they didn't have an actual hyphen) last names were lost when people immigrated the the USA and were required to give only one surname. It usually was the man's surname (though not always). In general in Jewish communities of the Russian Empire in smaller cities and towns, surnames were rarely used on a daily basis. It was the personal name, and some addition, such as "Short Shmulik", or "Surah's Yankel". This was the case until well into the 20th century and the destruction of all of those communities. Shmulik is a nickname for Shmuel/Samuel, "Surah" = Sarah, and "Yankel" is a nickname for Yaakov/Jacob.

The Bible makes no proclamation about a woman taking her husband's surname. Therefore it should be fine.

How about failure for either.

I've had a lot of friends shave their heads for 'Stand up to Cancer' , none had any comeback because of it xx

S**t lol, i remember a few decades a go, when a bus company here got its 2 first female bus drivers, those busses where full to capacity for 2 or 3 weeks, just by idiots that wanted to see a woman drive a bus.

We just can't seem to win

Please correct me if I'm wrong but as an aging women I feel older women are the least respected/ revered (?) / unaccepted (?)... Would appreciate others insights.

Wait, are you saying women urinate??? OH THE HUMANITY!! /s

SO MUCH THIS!

Ab-so-lutely

Assertive women are given the term pushy. It's not the same for guys.

Really? I had a female friend that weighed 120kg and She was 1.60m tall, i weigh 120kg but i'm a male ( denser boné and muscle structures ) and i'm 1.85m tall, and She was BY FAR the sexyest women i ever talked to, personality counts a lot, and She had that in spades, its a shame She was married.

This suggests that fathers are happy getting only 4 days a month

My wife is one of the lucky ones. Her boss has been very accommodating. She has been able to progress in her career (a promotion recently), while also be able to have one day off a week to spend with our kids.

This was in another post but I think it needs clarification. Women are not allowed to be angry in work or formal situations and men are. Women are allowed to be angry in personal situations and men are not ie relationships..

Having the ability to be safe to go out alone at night.

That is stupid, and i say this not because Im a man, but because if you go to most EU beaches a lot of women are and walk around topless and no One gives a c**p about it.

No is an answer, not an obstacle. So shut the hecc up and accept the word "No".

Both of them are terrible and it hurts the children a lot (I know many people who’s parents left them, both the moms and the dads)

And why do they always call Mom when ever something is wrong?

And having a man repeat the same thing verbatim not 2 minutes later.

Those glasses.. I NEED THEM!

I would be asked at my job. "Who looks after your daughter when you're at work?" Dunno. Ask the lions.

That chair looks very uncomfortable, and too exposed to the elements. How's about a cushion and a shade tree? Thanks, I'm not sitting on that.

That's because it's more embarrassing as a man to dye your hair. Likewise with wigs/hair transplants

Yeah, my wife swears like a 3rd grader. Worse thing I've heard her say was damn...but she can make up some funny sounding alternatives, so it's all good.

Ugly is the last group it's 100% ok to discriminate against. They have no more control over bulging eyes than a person has over their skin color or gender.

No one should interrupt people.

When your entire reproductive system hangs down between your legs and is stuffed into undergarments, then you can talk.

This is a women criticising women thing. Men couldn't care less
