Apparently, some men think if a woman wears an ankle bracelet, she is either a lesbian or a prostitute. And don't even ask them about ladies who carry around their stuff in a backpack instead of a purse!
These things sound unbelievable, but just take a look at the subreddit r/NotHowGirlsWork and you'll discover that some guys have such wild misconceptions about females, it's like they're talking about an alien race.
I honestly don't know how they come up with such... theories. Maybe their ego couldn't handle a breakup, so they invented an explanation on why it was their partner's fault. Or maybe they're just following the wrong people on social media.
Either way, continue scrolling to check out the latest posts from r/NotHowGirlsWork and if you want more after you're done, fire up Bored Panda's earlier piece on the subreddit. Enjoy.

Adele’s Weight Loss Under The Spotlight Again
To learn more about women's role in today's society, we contacted Dr. Stephen Burrell, who is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at Durham University, and a Deputy Director of Durham's Centre for Research into Violence and Abuse (CRiVA).
Dr. Burrell also undertook an Economic and Social Research Council Postdoctoral Fellowship on the role of the business sector and workplaces in preventing violence against women and promoting gender equality, and how to engage more men in such efforts.
"Women face many of the same problems that men do, such as economic inequalities which mean that so many people in our society are struggling to get by, whilst others have huge amounts of wealth," he told Bored Panda. "But on top of that, they face numerous additional obstacles because gender inequality remains so deeply rooted."

I Uhm- Don’t Think That’s Right Chief
Girls Don't Have Ankles
Dr. Burrell believes our narrow expectations about who we allow and expect women to be holds them back from contributing freely and fully to society. "It can have detrimental impacts on their health and wellbeing, with violence against women and girls continuing to be a commonplace experience for so many throughout their lives – and also because healthcare services often fail to take account of women’s needs and experiences."
"It can hold them back in education and the workplace, where everyday experiences of sexism and gender stereotypes mean women and girls may not be encouraged and enabled to succeed and flourish in whatever path they want to pursue," he explained.
"They are often expected to juggle this whilst still doing the bulk of care work at home, with little support from wider society in terms of things like affordable childcare services, which holds back women’s positions in the labor market, and means those economic inequalities hit them harder too. Meanwhile, women are still significantly under-represented in decision-making positions across society, which means a lot of these issues aren’t understood or addressed by people in power."

Dr. Burrell also believes that men directly contribute to a lot of the problems women face. "For example, if we’re talking about violence against women and girls, and the widespread sexism and misogyny which feeds into it, it’s important to recognize that this doesn’t come from nowhere – it is predominantly being perpetrated by men," he said. "So we need to start talking more about men’s role in these problems, even if that is at times uncomfortable."
"But that also helps us to think about the positive part men can play in the solution. We can be agents of change, working together with women as allies in building a society that is more equal and fair for everyone – in our relationships, at home, at work, in politics, everywhere."
Uh. No
What?
I've Seen This Expression Alot Whilst Browsing This Sub, So I Thought I'd Share This Meme
In Dr. Burrell's opinion, this is particularly important when we remember that men continue to hold most positions of power. And this doesn't concern just individuals, it touches the way we organize society, too.
"We all learn rigid and restrictive stereotypes about gender from an early age, and have all probably played a part in reinforcing them at some point," Dr. Burrell, one of the co-hosts of the podcast 'Now and Men: Current conversations about men's lives', said.
"These hold everyone back – so we all benefit from breaking down gender norms, being free to be whoever we want to be, and creating a society in which everyone is equally valued and free from violence."
What’s The Secret Formula To Get In Bed With As Many Women As Possible!? Smh
Hmmm Yes, Pants Are Only For Men
No wonder so many men can hardly relate to women and their issues. Despite the genders' psychological overlap, studies on men have suggested they have trouble "mind-reading" and guessing what women are thinking and feeling.
For example, one study found that men do, in fact, interpret friendliness from women as sexual come-ons. Research also discovered that women prize men who try to understand them.
To see whether guys really do have trouble understanding ladies, Boris Schiffer, a researcher at the LWL-University Hospital in Bochum, Germany and his colleagues put 22 men between the ages of 21 and 52 (with an average age of 36) in a functional magnetic resonance imaging scanner, which uses blood flow as a measure to measure their brain activity.

If someone else is eating something, they are not taunting you with something you can't have. If someone else travels somewhere you haven't been, they are not taunting you with something you can't have. If someone else has a hundred dollar bill and you don't, they are not taunting you with something you can't have. YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO SEX, LOVE, ATTENTION, NOR INTIMACY, DUDES.
This Pee Pee Maestro
The scientists then asked the men to look at images of 36 pairs of eyes, half from men and half from women, and guess the emotion those people felt.
The men then had to choose which of two words, such as distrustful or terrified, best described the eyes' emotion. The eye photographs depicted positive, neutral, and negative emotions.
Men took longer and had more trouble correctly identifying emotion in women's eyes.

Additionally, their brains showed different activation when looking at men's versus women's eyes. Men's amygdala — a region in the brain linked to emotions, empathy, and fear — activated more strongly in response to men's eyes.
Also, other brain areas tied to emotion and behavior didn't activate as much when the men looked at women's eyes.
The results indicate that men are worse at reading women's emotions. This "theory of mind" is one of the foundations for empathy, so the researchers suggest this could mean that men can have less empathy for women relative to men.

But the cause that leads to this is still unknown. While men could be culturally conditioned to pay less attention to women's emotional cues, there's also the possibility that their differential response is hard-wired by humans' evolutionary past.
"As men were more involved in hunting and territory fights, it would have been important for them to be able to predict and foresee the intentions and actions of their male rivals," the researchers explained in the paper.

Not Sure What's Worse, The Joke Itself Or The Fact So Many People Like This Kind Of Humor
When it comes to simple biology, the picture is just as bad. A YouGov study conducted in the UK in 2019 asked British men to label a diagram of female genitalia, and the results were actually abysmal. Well, over half of surveyed men could not label the vagina or labia, and the majority could not point out where it is that urine comes out.
Very Confident For A Man With No Grasp Of Grammar Or Science
I'm convinced that this mindset comes from having no confidence in the bedroom department. It's basically, 'I want a woman who's not experienced, so she doesn't know how bad I am at it'. Personally I'd rather have someone with experience so that we can both increase our pleasure.

... and we are totally ignoring that if she spends all day at home she will not contribute to the household income. So unless her husband is really good at providing (read being rich or making a lot of money), there will only be half as much money to spend -which can add a lot of stress to her life, since getting by on tight budget can add a alot of work that you have to do by yourself, instead of just bying a service like cleaning. Most stay at home moms do not simply rest while the children sleep, that is when the have a bit of time to get the chores done, which is needed to keep the house liveable. For most people those chores will not fullfill her need to feel like she is doing something important, which a career, that she has chosen herself might do. Teaching about Jesus all day long? That alone should be enough to rule that path out, as exessive religous preaching never produces anything good, but is just obnoxious brainwashing in order to have things your way.

ahem, some men don't want children either, and for such men, not having to deal with the pressure from a woman who want to get pregnant can be a blessing. People are different, and want different things from life, so what is no no for one person could be the perfect fit for another.

I think this guy needs to google the Dahomey Amazons. There were kings in the past who would only keep armies of female soldiers because they swore they worked better together, making them more effective in battle. It's been pretty well documented in psych studies that when in groups, women are better at communicating and forming teams, whereas men given the same tasks tend to compete with one another, making the group less effective. Men trained in the women's group and then sent back to the men's group become as effective as the women once they learn to work together as a team
