“Age, Past 35”: 46 Things That Are Normal For Men But Taboo When Women Do Them

This should be #1.

A parent can still be a deadbeat despite living in the same household and still be in a relationship with the other parent. If more people viewed in this perspective maybe society will understand how twisted we treat mothers.

This has gotta be a conspiracy, it's so crazy that women's clothing has such terrible small pockets (or no pockets at all). I think if men had to deal with that, we'd definitely carry purses ourselves, lol.

I'll constantly offer to put my male friends' phones in my bag, forgetting that they can just stick them in their pockets

YES!

Don’t get me started….🤬

Advocate. Advocate. Advocate for yourself. If you're not feeling supported by one doctor, seek out another, and keep doing that until you find one that actually listens.

Enjoy it, and hype it up. Again, anyone who pushes back can be dropped without feeling bad at all. Anyone who pushes back is, IMO, outing themselves as a predator, or if it's a woman, someone with really pathetic internalized misogyny.

This is entirely dependent on where you live. I have no fears walking in my area at night.

For the men in these comments, I'm pretty sure it more means "Walk alone at night without fearing being SAd"

Men are far more likely to be attacked on the street. Yes, by other men, men can be violent monsters, but the point is, women seem to think they're the only ones who have something to fear walking the streets at night.

By men and women.

Yeah, I don't know any man who gets respect for losing his temper. Case in point, we had a Zoom meeting at work recently and one of the senior VPs was on the call, losing his mind over something that definitely didn't require that sort of response (although even if it did, I still don't think it would've been appropriate). After he left the call, several of us -- mostly the guys -- called him out for being unprofessional and melodramatic.

Men get told to f**k themselves. Who wrote this?

Show anger, but do so when it makes the biggest impact. Constant anger gets ignored. Choose your moment, and showing anger as a woman is nothing but power. Society fears women's anger precisely because it is so powerful and devastating.

This has always dumbstruck me. There are men out there with bigger breasts than some women. We all have nipples, but somehow a woman's is shameful. Some men I would prefer to not see them topless.

How about we all just wear shirts?

i will support women being topless

I used to not think anything of this, but as I have gotten older, it's a little off putting seeing men with no shirts on. Can't put my finger on the reason, but it just feels inappropriate for just walking around in public when not accompanied by exercise

Perfectly legal in many places in the USA, just saying.

The way to avoid that is to live a long way away from both families.

Thankfully, in my marriage we each deal with our own family. With approval from the other of course, but the logistics and other details are left to be figured out by wieners l whoever's family it is.

This works both ways. Men are expected to know how to wire a plug, change a socket, put up a shelf, or change a tyre, but women aren't. Only today I saw a post of BP where a woman said she "got her boyfriend to change the locks". Why couldn't she do it? And I say that as a fully trained man who can do the cooking, cleaning, laundry, lawn mowing, minor electrical work, small car repairs, and decorating. EVERYONE should be able to do at least some of these things, regardless of gender (and both my stepdaughters know how to change a tyre, by the way).

I would upvote this 100,000 times if I could.

This is my peaceful happy resting b***h face and if you make me mad by asking me to smile, you'll see my unhappy b***h face. And you won't like it.

I was actually reprimanded by another woman while walking one day. She yelled at me to "SMILE". I had just lost my mother. As they say, be kind to others. Everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about. 💔

This must be a Gilead thing. I live in South Africa and have never been told to smile, not once.

I don't know how to do a link but the women of Broad City know exactly how to deal with this. Season 2 Ep 10 St Marks.

I absolutely hate that term "ladylike".

and when it IS seen as fine or even cute, the woman always has to be slender and pretty

The only people, 100% of the time who do this, are other women. We find it s**y.

And often single mums are look down on for being single mums - as if they were ther only ones who could have prevented it.

isnt that the same thing?

When I shaved my head people asked me if I : Had cancer, went to the military (I was 17), got punished by my parents. They were all dumbfounded when I answered that I just liked having my head shaved. Anyway, my head has been hair-free for 3 years now and it's heaven !

Hair or no hair anywhere on a woman doesn't take away any beauty. Gail Porter from where I am is stunning bald

I known several women who shaved their heads. You need the right type of personality, but it is certainly low maintenance.
