“Not How Girls Work:” 35 Very Stupid Things Men Have Said About Women And Their Bodies (New Pics)
Some men do like to think that they know women better than they do themselves. Call it asshole syndrome or whatever, really, it doesn’t change how shockingly dumb some of their theories about women really are.
Like, women’s unnatural hair colors are warning signals to stay away, or that periods are telling you to hurry up and get pregnant. And while I'd like to know what kind of bad science fiction books they’re reading, this subreddit r/NotHowGirlsWork gives them a proper treatment in what they deserve: being put in their place and told to cut their BS statements!
Today, we selected some of the best of the worst posts shared on the subreddit, and be sure to check out our previous posts here and here after you’re done reading this one.

I Know It Doesn't Belong Here But After So Many Misogynist Memes I Finally Found A Good One, So I Really Wanted To Share It With You Guys
They Had Me In The First Half
Stay Away From Girls With Bright Unnatural Hair Colors
Previously we spoke with the general practitioner, medical researcher, and founder of PrimeHealth Clinical Research, Iris Gorfinkel, M.D. She told us how little men know about women’s bodies. In fact, there was a YouGov study in the UK conducted in 2019 which asked British men to label a diagram of female genitalia. The doctor said that the results “were actually abysmal” and that "well over half of the men surveyed could not label the vagina or labia, and the majority could not point out where it is that urine comes out."

"There may be a perception from some men that they can get away with not being able to name visible parts of a woman's body, and still understand enough to know what has to go where. But that sets the goalposts pretty low. Things were made a whole lot better with just a bit more know-how whatever the starting point may be, there's always more that can be learned," she explained.
Well, At Least He Doesn’t Think Women Are Cows
Yea Ladies! Turn Off Your Cramps Before You Get To Work… Gosh
This fool thinks we just choose to bleed and be in pain at inconvenient times. How does he own a business? I'm surprised he can tie his own shoes.
Ladies, correct me if Im wrong, (cuz Im a guy and just dont know) but if you could control your cycles and cramps and stuff, wouldnt you like, NOT LET IT HAPPEN? Cuz you know, cramps and all are PAINFUL?
"Do it at home and tun it off"...what, like a water tap??

Not in the Uk at least. If you really suffer, you'd probably have to take the time as sick or unpaid. Some individual companies might have their own policy - I've heard of companies trying to be quite progressive and allow for time off if the hours have been banked etc, but in my opinion I'm not sure how such a system couldn't just be abused by the minority who wanted a day off.

How is that difficult to understand? If a person has a bleeding cut in their arm they can’t chose not to bleed. Yes, a period is not a cut but it has bleeding. How they don’t make the connection that if they can’t stop bleeding neither can we?
Because too many men think periods are "icky" and don't think at all about them beyond that.

HAHAHAHAHA 'Do it at home and turn it off...' HAHAHAHAHA That is some next level dumb fuckery!
Tell me you've never had a girlfriend without telling me that you've never had a girlfriend.
I don't know what to say. I am sorry, ladies, that these people exist
Someone put a c-clamp on his genitals and tell him to be professional, please. Tightening it hourly. Yep. Let's see that professionalism!
Does that mean I can turn it off permanently just like that? I wish, what a f*****g moron.
This is where a 'Bitch slap to the back of the head, Nice and hard.' Comes in really handy.
If I worked for this ignorant creep, I'd do everything in my power to sabotage his business. Be nice. Smile more. Hope he falls in a sink hole.
I’m gonna say he should shut off his bladder and only pee at home. Time waster.
Oh yes because us women LOVE having our periods! Silly me, I should just turn it off..... (face palm)
Yeah girls, respect us males coworkers, how dare you try to have a bodily function that a man has no idea about how it actually feels and we all know you can control it, stop lying!
It’s not like he’s even paying any kind of leave. He just doesn’t want to send someone home due to cramps probably because they’re short handed due to this idiot
Is this guy for real?!?! Who is this raging idiot? His name needs to be out there. I'm honestly shocked at the abject stupidity of someone who own a business for crying out loud!!!
He thinks we get cramps from holding it in. Natural selection should've weeded these idiots out by now
Young men need to be educated about menstruation. No - it's not like pee and it does not come out of the same hole - girls have TWO - and we can't stop the flow from one of them. Do you know how many girls think their period comes out of their "pee hole"? It's alarming. EDUCATE our young people!!!!!
Someone ought to kick him hard ind the stomic once a month and demand that he goes to work immediately after it, and then deal with the pain in his sparetime.
Omigosh! Why didn't I think of this, instead of suffering through horrible cramps and extremely bloody bathroom breaks at work?
Perhaps he should ask people at interviews 'do you bleed out of a hole between your legs once a month? ' It's probably okay if he also asks the male candidates as well as the female ¬_¬
Haul off and kick him in the nuts. Then say "As a business owner, you don't have time to nor can you afford to roll around on the floor holding your crotch. Get up and get over it. "
Huh, I seem to recall reading something that says some period cramps can feel as painful as a heart attack, or an appendix bursting.
I did have a girl call off a week prior because she was supposed to start her period Monday and she might have bad cramps.
All jokes aside some dudes should let there mother read the text before hitting send
This is just setting yourself up for a raging case of kidney stones (Please please karma). Because then he can try to "turn the pain off".
A guy who says y’all 3 times in a row is telling us to be professional?
If you can't afford menstrual leave, only hire women over 50. Bonuses: our kids are already reared, we are not going to need parental leave, and we have decades of work experience.
So, all those years I suffered from endometriosis, I could have just turned it off? Wish this guy had been around to tell me that. (insert eyeroll here)
Did they drop out before 5th grade sex education? these are basics. also so many "y'all"s
How Can He Get That Idea From This Description?
In case men are curious. It is uncomfortable, can be painful, and for a lot of women who have been assaulted, it is downright traumatizing.
Some time ago, we also spoke about so-called nice guys with counsellor & psychotherapist Tati Silva, who said that a man who is physically less attractive tends to compensate by being nice to be able to connect to people. However, Silva said they will overcompensate with over-the-top behaviors. "The nice guy will use all the tools to charm the person they are interested in. However, if it is not replicated, the nice guy's true colors come to light," the psychotherapist explained.
It turns out that a nice guy also has a sinister side. “In the mind of the nice guy, the person he is pursuing should repay his action by becoming his girlfriend or boyfriend; for him, that is how these things work. The nice guy will lash out if he does not get what he wants, which might be indirectly influenced by misogynistic entitlement complexes."
More Milk = More Boobs
According to Silva, misogyny occurs unconsciously and it usually can be linked back to hatred that forms early in life, often as a result of a trauma involving a female figure. But like everywhere, there are exceptions and the psychotherapist warns that “this doesn't apply to everyone.” “There are genuinely nice guys and girls out there who will be okay to be put in the friend zone, respecting your opinion. They won’t expect anything back,” she concluded.

Load More Replies... What mgtow/incel hole of the internet did they find this many ignorant men?
I just went through that. And my only reaction is: WHAT ON EARTH?????
Taught my boys from a young age to treat girls like they would boys. As friends. My oldest is turning thirteen and one of his best friends is a girl and they both want a sleep over, as friends because that is how they see each other.
Fantastic advice. Kinda like the advice on boys in the daring book for girls.

My question after all these is: In what reality do women starve because men aren't in the room/building/social sphere? And, corollary, these same idiots are the ones who want women to do all the cooking, so.....
After ready this hallucinant entries a few questions remain. What was the average age of the 'men' who posted this? What was the education these people enjoyed?Could I be right in assuming there's a lot of homeschooling involved? To be honest it isn't only men who are ignorant. Read a post (probably on BP) about a girl who gave birth in hospital asking the nurse when the doctor would pierce her nipples so she could breastfeed...
And the one about the woman who was terrified of getting pregnant with triplets because she didn't want to be pregnant for 27 months, 😂😂😂. The ages of these guys is probably all over the place, from 13 to who knows. Education wise, hmm - in the U.S., they're probably a result of the "no child left behind" program introduced back in 2001. It was intended to help disadvantaged students but in reality just meant that all students were passed on to the next grade/level of education without actual proof that they had truly learned anything.

I have a theory that our toxic competitive social structure helps to create this issue. People are like this because they are incapable of self reflection and assuming blame for their own short comings. But why are so many of us so bad at self reflection? I think it is because we are made to be hyper competitive as soon as we start school. Admitting any sort of flaw makes you less desirable and less competitive, but being incapable of self reflection and self improvement makes your value dramatically decrease. Insecurity and fear of personal flaws seems to be the underlining cause of half of these posts.
And all the over-scheduling of our kids! From the time they wake up til they go to bed - go to school all day, then soccer/football/swimming/piano/dance/gymnastics/whatever, all while eating fast food in the car between practice/lessons/games & trying to do homework...no down time, no peaceful family dinners, no 'alone' time, no relaxing with a good book. It's sad.

Oh let them be. After all it's very unlikely they will be breeding anyway.
I feel like every school should have a class every few months that teaches guys about girls and all the wrong stereotypes about them. It could definitely be used.
Already being taught, in my school we had a lesson about stereotypes, guess what, none of them were about boys, only girls. Hey, I guess only women are discriminated against right ? It's not like so many people in these comments think the majority of men are like this.

Yikes. If people are so weird about cis women, I am really worried about coming out as a trans woman.
You mean the people who hold misogonystic beliefs shown here are stupid, right? I hope that's what you meant
