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 those 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.

    That's just semantics though. In many languages sex was short for sexual intercourse and specifically meant penetration of the vagina by a penis. Now that we are more open about genders, sexual preferences and 'the deed' itself, sex is usually seen as more than just penis/vagina action.

I've had a good comprehensive female manager and a good comprehensive male manager. I've see both sexes go completely berserk over a tiny problem to the point of raising their voices, while making wild gestures with their arms or leaving a meeting abruptly and slamming the door. I would love for good or bad managers to be easily distinguishable by genre, but alas it does nto work like that in my experience.

    There is an unfortunate element of truth to this. Generally, because positions for women are so limited, it's greater competition. These women are hostile because they've learned that's the only way to make progress in a male-dominated environment (or worse - the old boys club attitude).
