It's 2025, but some men are still grossly uninformed about the intricacies of womanhood. When it comes to periods, for example, only 41% of men can correctly identify what exactly menstruation is, according to a study by women's healthcare brand INTIMINA and YouGov. Yet periods aren't the only thing some men are clueless about.
The subreddit "Not How Girls Work" collects the most infuriating, embarrassing, and ridiculous takes that men online have had about women. Sound kind of misogynistic? Probably because it is. So, arm yourself with patience, Pandas, because these posts might not be for you if you have a short fuse.

Psa: Yes We All Have And The Worst Part Is How Young This Happens
Creeps Everywhere
Will never bee safe until we burn the patriarchy to the ground.
If your blood pressure rises as you scroll through these screenshots, take solace in the fact that you're not alone. Sadly, misogyny is quite on the rise online at the moment. A recent report by UN Women has found that online content drives backlash against feminism and promotes retrograde and misogynistic ideas about men's and women's roles in society.
But online spaces aren't the only place where women's rights are experiencing a setback. In 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, which protected the right to abortion. Several European countries decided to pull out of the Istanbul Convention, a treaty on gender-based violence.
Being Born A Woman In This World Is Horrific

Those are the only pockets on women's pants that are big enough for a phone.
Too Old And Too Stupid
Mexico and Central America are experiencing violent attacks against women's rights defenders and activists. Costa Rican feminist activist Lydia Alpizar told UN News that we're seeing a surge of attacks against feminists working on gender-based violence all over the world.
In Nicaragua, political prisoners include women, human rights defenders like Kenia Hernandez are imprisoned in Mexico, and so are women who protest for protection of nature in El Salvador. According to Alpizar, governments are shifting their focus "on gender equality to a broader focus on families and children," and that's how women's issues get sidelined.

How Dare She Call The Police On Me For Domestic Violence? Woke Destroyed Everything
Feel Like This Fits Here
Yep, that old joke of men being "dragged" into marriage. With all the "help me" jokes at weddings. And as soon as we say "Okay, be free" - they try to manipulate us again by first telling us we would be unhappy on our own, and when that didn't happen, now there's attempts to force us to marry by making life difficult for women.
The deputy head of the research and data team at UN Women, Laura Turquet, also notes that the "manosphere" spaces online make it easier for misinformation and misogynistic sentiments to spread.
The 'manosphere,' according to her, is "an online ecosystem [of] extreme and outdated ideas, particularly about violence against women, but also related to a very narrow kind of idea of masculinity."

Tampons Are A S*x Toy
From personal experience, I can say that using a tampon is very unpleasurable.
Women Really Are Not Safe Anywhere
In such spaces, 'feminism' has become quite a dirty word. Even young men's attitudes reflect that, as 16% of Gen Z men in the UK say that feminism has done more harm than good. Only 13% of UK men aged 60 and older hold the same belief. Experts say that this trend is worrying because usually, younger generations are more receptive to social change.

Women "Lose Value" If Men Glimpse Their … Faces??
Let's face it, when we think of a person having regressive, misogynistic views, we probably have an image of a boomer in our minds. But the director of the Global Institute for Women's Leadership at King's College London, Professor Rosie Campbell, told The Guardian that this is because Gen Z is the first generation to derive most of their information from social media.
His Is The Most Terrifying Thing I Have Ever Seen
Left column, no surprise. But right column, wtf ??? Which demographic did they pick out to find these women?
TBH Left column just as much WTF. A bit of searching on the name reveals that this was a study performed in 1978 though, so... yrah, some people really did think it wasn't too bad. Remember that in most countries at that time it was still not possible for a man to be charged with raping his wife. We've come a long way since then thankfully. Still some way to go, mind.
Load More Replies...the fact 32% of the girls thought if they dates for a long time its ok, and 42% its ok is she sexually excites him, and 28% if she let him touch her above the waist, and 31% if she changes her mind, etc shows a far deeper problem than the problematic amount of the bys thinking these things are ok. The fact these girls have internalized that this is ok, is a very serious issue
It sounds like brainwashing. Men tells them so often, how it is, that they start to believe it.
Load More Replies...Generations of making women believe they are subordinate will produce those abysmal scores.
Load More Replies...Generations of living in a patriarchy. Generations of women having to fight for the most basic things: their own checking accounts, being able to work, get an education. Generations of being treated as objects and having their voices silenced. Men have held onto the top position in society through fear and intimidation for a long, long time. That sort of damage takes a very long time to overcome.
Load More Replies...I have to wonder how old that is. Of course it doesn't' make it any better but if that is current then.....
I’m terrified for the girls in this post! And what is being taught at home to sons!
I hope all the guys who agreed with any of these….experience it themselves. 🤬 Yes, I said it, and I’m not sorry.
R**e is a power play. You won't give it, he'll take it anyway, without your consent. He doesn't care if you get hurt, bruised, or traumatized. He'll get his satisfaction and probably enjoy the actions he took.
I find it deeply depressing that the right-hand column is not zeroes all the way down. I expect percentages from the men because some of them are d-bags, but women saying there are circumstances where r***is okay? This is beyond sad.
the fact that females did not vote for never is very very worrying
The male responses are scary enough, but the female responses are both scary and terrifyingly sad--that they think they OWE the use of their body for ANY reason! Hoping this is many decades old, and not something recent
This proof that some women are literally asking to be r@ped.
Yeah this looks about right. That's humans for you. My mother saw to my s*x education YEARS before school got around to it, and honestly I am STILL, SO thankful to her for this. I'm 45 now, for context. Never let your schooling interfere with your education.
You were one of the lucky ones then. I had to learn all about s*x from the school yard. Still years later, had to find out some things from my husband. I had no clue at all.
Load More Replies...The most disgusting thing is percentages of women who said it was ok.😭😭😭 what have we been taught about our value as a human being? 42% said yes because "he got sexually excited!? Omg 😵🤯 just no. And she'll change her mind!? Aaaaahhhh! My soul is dying reading this for so many reasons 😢
Even sadder that girls are under the impression/misconception that it's ever ok.
That is downright terrifying! Makes me glad I'm old and don''t have to worry about this stuff any more!
IOK. Knew it was 1/3 to 1/2 the guys. It's scary how many girls think it's ok.
My ex sexually abused me his excuse was I was his so I needed to please him I can't understand any of the women that responded yes to those scenarios
So Now We Cant Tell The Difference Between Peeing And Pooping?

"There has been a zeitgeist where young women feel they can own the idea of feminist identity … [Young men] hear a lot about girl power but don't, at this stage in their lives, understand the inequalities that we know are in the world when you hit work and childcare," Campbell explained.
Just… Wow

Yuck
The UK government is trying to balance the misinformation and misogynistic content many young men see online. Last year, the Labour Party planned to start training young male mentors to counterbalance the negativity many young men are exposed to online.
Just Wow
Men Are Too Stupid To Realize It Or Women Are Too Smart?
ah yes. no woman in history has ever paid for a dinner or gifts or given attention to their partner. every single time someone has opened a door for me, it has always been a man. also, women are never treated like they are wrong for feeling certain ways. i'm glad we cleared all this up.
Weirdos S*xualizing A Random Woman For No Apparent Reason
Minister for Women and Equalities of the United Kingdom, Bridget Philippson, told the Guardian that it's important to educate boys from a young age. "It also has to be young men and young women alike; we can't just leave it to young women to call out unacceptable behaviours or report issues that are happening."
"It's really powerful if men all step in and make clear that kind of sexist or misogynistic behaviour is not acceptable, and they don't tolerate it either."

Why Are Some Women Like This
The worst of the harassment I've experienced in my 36 years happend when I was a teenager. So many stalkers, men trying to get me close to their car. Adult strangers saying horrific things to me quietly in public, the butt pinches. They tend to target the weakest.

Came down to the comments to see if I should read this one....and thank you for your comment. I think I'll skip this one x
Load More Replies...It is a disgrace. But I have never known in my country anybody thinking this way, being so misoginistic and chauvinist. I can only feel sorry, as it might be only happening in third world countries and the USA. I think something os really off with the land of freedom.
As a man, I say we solve all misogyny problems first and then - and only then - we can move on to calling out misandry.
