According to the FBI, men commit 80% of violent crimes, 99% of sexual assaults, and the majority of property crimes. It’s no surprise that women are cautious in a world shaped by these statistics.
But that doesn’t mean questionable behavior from women should go unnoticed. In a popular thread, men shared things women do that would likely be seen as creepy if the roles were reversed. Here’s what they had to say.

“If you don’t love me at my worst, you don’t deserve me at my best”
No lady, you’re just an a*****e.
Except that's not what it means. The meaning has been twisted. It's more for someone who dumps yu when you're at a low point, like sick, of you are depressed, or lost a loved one, etc and the person left so they don't have to help you go through it. Once you're better they come back, except that they were not there for you at your worst so they don't deserve you at your best.
Load More Replies...What does that even mean, really? It's just those stupid, cringy posts "edgy" girls put on their facebook feeds to seem .... unhinged?
What it was originally supposed to mean was something like: Your partner is sick, depressed, or temporarily lost their job but you should love them through their struggles because you know how amazing they are. What it's currently used as is: You should put up with my awful behavior whenever I feel like it because otherwise it's your fault and not mine and you don't value me enough to be borderline ab*sed, which means you're not meant to be with me
Load More Replies...I see this so much, and people actually believe it. The quote has been and is currently being massively misused. It has to do with if someone is going through a rough patch, and that you should still care even when they're sick or down on their luck for a while. I hate how people use it to excuse acting like b*tches and throw fits. The at your worst doesn't mean your worst behavior that happens frequently, it means relatively out of your control things that you can't help that happen occasionally
No no no. Those type of women don't apply to this. This means you should love me with no makeup and my hair a mess or if I have gained a few pounds after child birth or I'm having a bad day and I need emotional support. The "ladies" who use this quote as an excuse for despicable behavior are indeed @$$#0/3$.
"Your worst has made me lose all interest in your best, and anything in between."
Well said. Now go find a partner who isn't a selfish little sociopath!
Load More Replies...My favorite is when a girl blames her zodiac sign for her personality flaws,
And no, Marilyn Monroe did NOT say that and I don't care what that "cute" meme you saw on Facebook told you.
This!! When a woman, or a man too, says this, they are just trying to justify ignorant behavior.
This originally meant something else before edgy PEOPLE (men also say this) decided to ruin it.
Physical a***e. I am 6’3” 240, dating a girl who was half my size and would constantly strike me. Even my friends laughed about it. She ended up breaking my orbital bone and then no one found it funny.
Nope. This isn't a pass. There have been women and girls horrifically a*****e, and they do it so calculating and planned to get at the guy when he's most vulnerable. Such as when he's sleeping or occupied with something.
My Aunt used to physically shove her husband and even slapped him a couple times. To his credit, he never struck her back.
Load More Replies...Yeah, being big and working out doesn't make you immune to a*s*ult. Being small doesn't mean you can't a*s*ult or beat someone up. It's awful no matter which way around it is
Why would you keep dating her when she kept hitting you? Is anyone else wondering this too?
I don't care what size a person is, no matter how small. Hitting is a no-go. If you don't want people hitting you, don't hit people. Especially nasty when it comes from someone who supposedly loves you.
Thats.. not funny at all... abuse isn't gender specific.
If you hit me once, I'll probably do nothing. Hit me the second time, you'll get the hit back. But then don't complain.
I worked in the domestic violence field for a while, then moved in with my son and his family when I retired. In two weeks I went to my son and told him "You're in an a*****e marriage." The t*****e that woman put my boy through! He finally got away, still fighting for his kids. Yeah it runs both ways. Hard for men to admit it I believe.
As a gay man, two things:
1. Women wanting to be friends with us so that they can parade us around as their "gay best friend". Had a few "friends" pull this s**t on me, the moment that they start introducing me to their friends as "this is my gay friend that I was telling you about" I stopped talking to them.
2. Try to "turn me straight" by doing things to attempt to seduce me. Like WTF? I'm not interested. Also, the number of women who ask me for intimate details on my s*x life and act like it's not awkward at all is insane...
@Crystalwitch60 - not all gay men have great fashion sense. That's as ridiculous as thinking all lesbians are good mechanics. Homosexual =/= homogeneous. We're as varied as any other cohort of people.
I'm a 60 year old gay man (not bi, not "pan") and I'm here to tell you, I've been fondled by more women at the gay bar than I ever was by men. We are not toys for your amusement.
I had a bi friend in college who presented himself as gay to encourage conversion attempts. He got converted more times than a Jehovah's Witness with amnesia.
I allawys thought women like to have gay male friends is because they are no danger to them
I wish this were true, but in my experience gay men seem to think that they have free rein to grab at bóobies as much as they like. Of course, straight women grab on them too so it's not all one way.
Load More Replies...You have had some really odd female friends; maybe choose wiser people you allow in your social circles.
Pretty much all of my best friends are gay men and I am constantly offended by how younger women treat them. (I say "younger women" because my friends and I are first wave GenX and it's mostly Milennial and sometimes GenZ women who do this.)
Thats such gross behaviour. I'm a cis het female. My gay male friends are just my friends...that happen to be gay. I dont announce it and I sure as hell wouldn't attempt to "turn" them or m****t them in any way. I KNOW how that sh*t feels
Yup, my brother started getting loads of faghags when he came out and dumped the majority of them. He didn't want to be defined by his sexuality to make other people look "cool".
I hate when waitresses touch me, whenever I post this too I get a torrent of replies saying that studies have proven that men are more likely to tip more if the waitress touches them. I don't care, I don't want to be touched by you.
Oh, Gosh… sorry about that. I’m one of those touchy people 😞 My family & friends are all like that.
Please think before you touch someone. Not everyone is touchy-feely.
Load More Replies...I don't want to be touched, either. No touchy. It won't persuade me to tip more than I intend.
Guess some men take it as flirting and therefore feel more inclined to tip.

I totally agree with this. But no one gets a pass. Just don’t touch others without permission.
There is a girl at work that hugs every one its really uncomfortable and awkward . I only hug people in my inner circle .
I agree with you! If I don't know you, don't touch me. Also, I am not hun, honey, sweetie, sweetheart etc.
What about “duck”? I grew up in northern England and where I come from we all call each other “duck”. I have no idea where this came from. Like why would anyone choose to call another person a bird? But “eyup duck, ope tha’s doin fine”.
Load More Replies...As a man, I'm guilty of touching people, too. It's impulsive, and I'm trying to be more cognizant about it.
As a waitress, I'm really glad that in our introverted culture touching someone you don't know is really rare. I wouldn't be able to deal that with either as a waitress or as a customer. (If I'm visiting in some more touchy-feely culture, I can deal with it, but not in daily life.)
I would be livid if a waitress touched my husband. Don't like working for tips work somewhere else. Wana touch men for tips there's a strip joint for that behavior.
Same. Thankfully my guy has boundaries to the point that he'd tell them very politely to back TF off and keep their hands to themselves.

In college, a girl stalked me and did things like go into the Men’s bathroom just to look at me while I showered.
Even though there was LITERAL VIDEO FOOTAGE, the University did absolutely nothing.
… And a lot of my male friends tell me that I’m “lucky.” 🙄.
Your male friends were saying you were lucky, sorry those people are not your friends, They're the people who WILL side with her if she gets mad when you reject her advances, and claims you did something to her.

Does that mean women have a monopoly on it? No. Does that mean it's less awful when it happens to men? No. Does that mean it should be taken less seriously when it happens to men? No. No matter who it is done to it should be takes seriously be it a priest or a str*pper
Do it like, who was it Leonardo DiCaprio?, who had this obsessed fan so he took her to dinner and complained all evening long about his problems and whatnot. Never heard from her again
Sexual harassment is sexual harassment. Doesn't matter what gender you are. Sorry you had to deal with that.
Any man who's worn a kilt in public can testify. Women will openly grope, lift, and look. A man doing the same would be lucky not to end up in jail.
I never found this funny. It's so gross. Just For Laughs Gags would do pranks like this. I never found the humor. It would give me thoughts about wearing skirts and men trying to do such things. Then I would be clenching my teeth.
You don't get this in Scotland (unsurprisingly), but elsewhere it happens quite a bit - especially when alcohol is involved. People who think they are being funny but are in fact just being rude. My stock reply is "There's nothing worn under my kilt, it's all in perfect working order".

It’s not funny !! I’ve never seen the attraction of being like what do men wear under their kilt ! when a man asks a woman what they wearing under a dress or skirt a smack in the mouth is normally the reply !! We loath it it’s creepy so do not do it back women stop making us look bad
I seem to recall a kilted person hitting someone who did that and when he was nearly arrested mentioned that he was SA'ed first and it was self defence.
Can confirm: at least here in the US, women will lift a skirt without a thought. Anymore, I make sure to carry my cane if I'm wearing a kilt
UK on the other hand have a country full of kilts and we love them.
Load More Replies...My husband frequently wears a kilt. I will always remember years ago being at home in Ireland and I was holding his hand and someone lifted his kilt, grabbed him (with cold hands) and let out an audible gasp. I turned around asked her what was she expecting and how would she feel if he did the same to her. The bouncers had already given her a warning for something else so were more than happy to throw her out.
However on a more amusing story, hubby was part of a group who went to a wedding in England and ended up in a nightclub after the wedding as the bar was closed about 10pm. A girl walked up to one of the guys and asked what are you wearing under the kilt so she was told to find out for herself. She did. He then asked her what she was wearing under her top to the same response. It's all about respect 🤣🤣

Hasn't happened to me, but I often see girls/women posting about how they flirt with someone that they have no interest in just because they are bored.
I've seen huge pages on FB post something like:
"Ugh I hate it when you flirt with a guy when you're bored and then they start to like you"
Playing with people like that is messed up.

My ex has the habit of talking like a baby and intentionally pronouncing words incorrectly like a child would.
I can understand if a baby or a cute dog is in sight but if you're cold say that. Don't tell me your thold.
Yes. Thold.
I’m a woman, and hearing someone talk like this irritates me too. Same goes for women who give out that ear-splitting loud high pitched squeal when they see a friend out in public—-then continue to talk in similarly high pitched squealing voices. Loudly.
Pretend you don't understand what they're saying until they speak properly. (This worked with my toddler twins when they went through a grunt and point phase.)

I was dating this girl who ended up faking that she would do a "surprise visit" to my house while i lived very far away. She'd text me that she'd be there in two minutes and was annoyed that i was annoyed that she'd show up unannounced while she wouldn't even know if I was home or not.After i broke it off she did it a couple times more.
She convinced a friend of mine to "lure" me into a bar where she was so she could "win me back". I come in to the bar, my friend isn't there, but the girl i ended things with and eventually blocked when things went to far was there and she went as far as blocking my path to the exit, saying that if I left she would scream that i was threatening her.
I'm not saying it's all women, but I've had a few experiences like this, although they didn't go THAT far.
That girl needs professional help and you should avoid contact with her at all cost.
Isn't stuff like this the reason we aren't supposed to jump into longterm relationships (or "the sack") with people we haven't gotten to know?
How about a girl that intentionally forgets her pill to trap a guy...
Women: the number of you with long nails that are crusty underneath is alarmingly high. I even had a former coworker who regularly kept her nails at 3" length who once commented on me cleaning under my nails and remarked inquisitively as to why she always sees men cleaning.under them, and that it made no sense to her.
I then glanced at hers and i can only describe what i saw as an accumulation of spebum, dead skin and potato chip crumbs.
Please...please clean under your nails.

Was at a PTA event at school like the opening week.
So they did a powerpoint animated slideshow to introduce all the teachers.
When the younger early 20’s male gym teacher was up on the screen there was like a little uproar from all the moms. Like about him being hot etc.
Even weirder is he grew up on the next block and went to the same school when he was a kid and his mom is still my neighbor.
If the guys did the same for a hot female teacher I’m sure they would have been run out of the room.
That is not that uncommon. Women usually behave very rowdy towards hot guys and, for some reason, it is considered to be normal. Speaking of double standards...
No, absolutely not. Two wrongs don't make a right. Gross either way.

The "figure me out" game. They intentionally communicate poorly because they want their partner to figure out what is going on.
It's downright a*****e. I was that partner years ago and I'm still messed up because of it. If my fiancée is having a bad day and talking less than usual, I have to restrain myself from anxiously trying to figure out what I may have done to cause this.
I can't tell you how many women I've heard say "if they loved me they'd know ____." Hell no. Men, women, children, parents--no one is psychic. If you have needs that are not being met, you have to actually communicate them. Not being psychic does not mean someone doesn't love you. I don't know why smart, otherwise mature women do this. I think it might be cultural. We went through several generations where women were taught to downplay their needs and wants. Do me a favor, if you have a girl that is doing this, and otherwise she seems a normal human being, try to talk to her about it during a calm time (not while it's happening.) Explain her needs are important to you, but she needs to learn to communicate them because you are not psychic.
When i'm stressed or upset I retreat inward. Is that the figure me out thing? Because I'm not asking anyone to figure anything out. Just a bit of space until I have mentally framed it in a way I can talk about it now.
I think it's more like saying nothing is wrong when something is clearly wrong. If you need space it's better to say something like "I need space right now, we'll talk about it later", rather than claiming everything is fine because you want your partner to figure it out on their own, that's childish and manipulative. Not saying you do that, just clarifying what i think the post meant.

Men are not mind readers, and making other people feel guilty for something they cannot possibly know was going on ('Oh, you know perfectly well what's wrong!') is a psychotic behaviour.

No downvote and honest question but I don't understand the "if you don't want to hear what what someone else deserves". Does that mean you'll tell them why you should be with someone else? Genuinely confused.

Two years ago I was on an archaeological dig where one of the other students was a woman about ten years older than me. On the first day in the field- before I even knew her name or said a word to her- she walked up to me and said "You have really big hamstrings". At the end of each day in the field she used to walk around with her shirt off while we were packing up. The worst thing she did though was one day while I was screening (using a screen to check sand we had removed from the ground for any small artifacts we might have missed), she came right up behind me, got really close, and said "Do you have tan lines from those shorts? I bet you could pull off something a lot shorter".
Can you imagine if the roles there had been reversed? I'd be on probation if I said something like that to a woman.
I think she was trying to flirt with him. Not in the most tactful way nor at the right time. I'm assuming these are University students. Although if she's an adult and this is a High School, that is downright wrong.

The saying "lose them how you won them" comes to mind. Trying to get someone to cheat then being shocked when they have it done to them later by same person.
My then-new bride (20 years married now) had flown to see a friend in WV. I took the opportunity to join a friend to go see a mutual friend's classic rock cover band. There was another couple there, acquaintances of our friend in the band. The wife chatted me up, innocently enough at first. Told her I was newly married, missed my wife, etc. IN FRONT OF HER HUSBAND, with no objection from him, she started hanging all over me during the second set. Arms from behind, blatantly flirting. The friend I came with, bless him, alerted our buddy in the band, who ran interference so I could bolt. I apologized to him at work the next day. He said, given the situation, he didn't blame me one bit. So glad they did their Zeppelin set first! I have my faults, but a lack of integrity isn't one of them. This woman was married, this woman knew I was married, and in front of her husband she was seemingly trying to seduce me. Maybe it was some sort sexual power game but I'm nobody's p**n.
I ended a friendship because I got weird vibes about her around my husband. It wasn’t ok so now we aren’t friends. I was ok with her until I found out she cheated on her husband and they were getting divorced. If she can’t respect her relationship she sure won’t respect mine. I trust my husband but didn’t like that she would text him asking if he could bring her coffee at work. Umm no, get your own coffee and leave my husband alone. He never took her coffee and just ignored her texts but she still kept trying. That’s when we both went no contact with her.
Never go after a cheat !!! cos even if you get him , he’s gonna do it to you as well !! leave them to their wives !
Actually I never understood that: when I was single (and older, like 40) and going out I rarely met someone, but when I was walking around with a partner I always got "looks". Someone told me that 40 (or older) and single looked creepy, but same age and in a relation is "a prey".
I have to admit I could maybe be guilty of this, as I’m ace and don’t realise if I’ve hit on someone and also don’t realise if they’ve hit on me. I’m also a bit socially awkward. But if someone says they have a partner I’ll be extra careful with what I do say, because I can’t say one of my life goals is to be a homewrecker.
You don't tell them something they do is wrong because it helps them "hide" how bad they are? That does not sound like particularly sane or healthy reasoning.
I once declined s*x from a girl I’d slept with before and as I was walking away caught a glass across the back of my head. People laughed. I laughed out of nervousness.

In college I had a good (and much better looking) friend who started having a certain woman chasing him. Over time she and I spent a lot of time together and became good friends (after her making it clear from the beginning that was the only thing possible). After a while she told me that she had given up on him and would settle for me. Amazingly, she did not take my declination by shocked silence well and found every opportunity thereafter to find reasons to end our friendship. (Not knowing that she had ended it the moment she labeled me as a consolation prize.)
So you differentiated her? Good man (sorry couldn't stop it gotten too serious till here)

Tell a child he's cute and will be a little heartbreaker when grows up and then say, keep him for me when he's 18. A man cannot ever do or say that
I think it’s pretty creepy if a woman does that too, and I think most people I know would feel the same.
Agreed, any sexualization of children is at the very top of the creepy list! I'm with Jason Vukovich on this one

This happened to a good buddy of mine. He was asked out by the girl in one of our classes who he barely knew, and had basically never talked to. He politely declined and moved on, didn’t think much about it. She continued to post on social media for months in a very explicit manner how he missed out on her, and how she’s too good for him and how he was ghosting her.
I brought it up with him, and he said he didn’t really care, so he let it go. But I was super pissed with her. Romantically Accosting people on the internet is never cool.

So I've had very unique, long red curly hair all my life. Unfortunately for me this meant a lot of old ladies liked it. I cannot count the amount of times an old lady went up to me and said "ohh I can't help myself" (or something like that) and just rubbed their hands through my hair (without asking me) . This s**t happened since I barely walk. It even happened when as a toddler/kid I was extremely shy and would hide behind my mum.
Granted, now that I'm 21 people don't do that any more but it still bugs me that it happened.
Next time it does take a step back and say, loudly, "Why are you touching me without my permission?"
Or lunge at them and run your hands through their hair. If they balk, say "What's wrong? Don't you like this?"

I'm not a touchy feely person at all. Even My husband knows this and respects it. Very long story of abuse. But I always say thank you and then politely ask for thrm not to touch me. I'm sorry but some random person touching anyone is not ok. There are some lines you dont cross.

Load More Replies...This is a learned behaviour passed down from our ancestors, from times when it was considered "unladylike" or "stepping out of your place as a lady" to be smarter and override men. Society is getting better, but some habits are so ingrained in us we're not always aware what we're doing.
If I tell a guy my idea or make a statement straight out, they don't hear it, or they mock it, or I in some way get railroaded. Tilt my head to the side and say " can I ask a stupid question? why don't we..." followed by whatever I was going to say/suggest, and suddenly they have to think it through while explaining my own idea to me, they now think it's their idea, and it actually gets done.

Obsessing over celebrities. If I talked about the girls from Blackpink the way girls talk about male pop stars I would be called a simp or an incel.
I think it would depend on how old you are. If were to be crushing on some young boy bands in my 40s, it wouldn't sound too good, too. lol But if I recall, I think I heard some of the boys in my class having crushes on some pop stars. One guy got a bit too excited seeing Jamie Lee Curtis during a movie day in class. I was a bit embarrassed to admit who I crushed on, too. Really depends on the person.

Idk people get called simp over everything at this point. There's nothing wrong with having a favorite band or an interest. Although some girls who are into a male idol group or specific idol have a tendency to go way, way past normal "OMG I'm obsessed" and actually become crazy level obsessed, and yeah that's weird.

It does end up going both ways in society. The cycle never seems to end.

Girls filming stranger attractive guys in public. Clearly the stranger doesn't know that he's being filmed or that he looks like he knows and uncomfortable with it. It still get posted online and left up as if it's not an obvious invasion of privacy. If it was the opposite I'm sure it will be taken down.
" If it was the opposite I'm sure it will be taken down." Sorry, you're wrong.
I witnessed this about 10 or more years ago. This girl was at a fast food restaurant, ordering. She casually, without any hesitation, asks the boy cashier his full name and if he's on facebook, quickly looks him up and shows him the screen asking if that's him. He's obviously feeling uncomfortable, and sort of laughs. She says she "friended" him. He didn't seem all that excited about it, more creeped out. I thought maybe she knew him from school, so I asked him if she knew her. He didn't. We both agreed it was creepy. On the contrary, a guy went up to my daughter, saying she's pretty and asked for her socials. My daughter just sd she's not on any. Didn't introduce himself, or anything. Then walked off to his group. We're thinking he went up to her for malicious purposes or on a dare. Again, creepy and lacking social etiquette.
Nope nope nope !! if a man does it it’s classed as stalking n harassment!!!! so women do not do it either have respect !
You mean like all the pics of girls that are posted? In Japan it's not possible to mute the clicking sound of your camera because of all the males that shot pictures under women's skirt....

A creepy thing that everyone does... but I find women; particular those who can't have children, more often do.
Keeping animals that... should be put down, alive. And I don't mean oh the animal is getting a bit old or aggressive. No I mean the animal is blind, deaf, crippled with no recovery, constant infections, and other problems. They keep this animal alive because it is "Their baby."
I find the act incredibly creepy and in my personal opinion extremely a*****e toward the animal. As you are perpetuating it's life through a hellish experience... because you are not mature enough to let the animal go.
Okay, but why put down a blind or deaf animal? I do agree that when your pets are suffering too much it's time to humanely put them down. My friend had to do that with her cat when she started getting seizures and eating less. It's super sad but it's for the best. The way my mom put it when she put her horse down "He's lived a really good life. He doesn't deserve a torturous end."
I'm hoping when I am too miserable and never have decent quality of life again someone will put me down.

The dogs get gentle exercise and donations and she regularly talks about giving them a fresh start on life when too many people would just give on them.
This is very nice, and I'm happy that this woman is doing such a service! However, I don't think that this is the type of person that OP is referring to. OP is referring to the animals that are clearly experiencing their end of life in pain, and the owners who refuse to acknowledge it.

Blind or deaf in themselves are no reason to put down an animal (would you k**l your blind/deaf kid? Exactly). Euthanasia is for when their quality of life is such is that it would be better to put them down, eg: our family Labrador was put down because he went into a constant state of grand mal fitting and couldn't stop over 24 hours. I can still picture the... whatever the pet ambulance is called... carrying this formerly vigorous, playful dog, now rigid and lying flat except for the fitting, into the ambulance. Put them down when you need to. Blindness and deafness alone aren't legitimate reasons; you need to think about quality of life for the animal (and not just you as the owner).
I wonder if this is his opinion on how humans with disabilities or illnesses should also be treated?
I agree with not forcing animals to suffer, when their quality of life is really bad and it is clearly their time, but there's no reason to put down a blind, deaf, or crippled dog or cat, as they can often still have very happy lives and adapt very well. As long as they have wheels or something to help them move around, paralyzed/crippled dogs can still be happy and healthy.
I don't think its selfish its a difficult decision. You are saying good bye to something that brought you so much joy.
this seems oddly specific. Didn't realize this was something people do on a regular basis

Making veiled threats in the form of innocuous statements, oftentimes planting this seed of "I can accuse you of anything I want and no one will question it."
I pick up on that from a chick and I make sure to avoid her at all costs. false accusations have become prolific in our society and it's long since turned into a legit danger for men.
ladies: if you're not actually serious, just understand it's not funny. you can literally get us killed because you wanted to power trip for a second.
I agree with Helena (not the second part of her reasoning though) , false accusations haven't become prolific, they are just getiing much more coverage than real accusations. In France we had the rapists of Gisle Pelicot tried a few months ago but how many rapes we know nothing about? Here's an article about Quèbec's situation (sorry it's in French) : https://www.lapresse.ca/dialogue/opinions/2024-07-18/et-surtout-n-en-parle-a-personne.php
In the US false accusations usually revolve around some kind of petty revenge either by a teen or someone who never matured past teen. And there is a high correlation between false accusations and teen pregnancy. Teach a girl her only value is between her legs and the only way her parents won't kick her out is if it a result of r**e, and voila, r**e accusation. Either way, it should be pounded home (age-appropriately) at why false accusations are bad. That it will be used against women as a whole. Because they'd rather believe we're all lying than believe the truth.

We don't have the same ability to just hold it in, as our uterus and bladders tend to be so close. Like, one sneeze or cough and I'm trinkling. Actually, if I manage to keep holding it in as I sneeze, my sinuses will keep sneezing until I trinkle. Absolute curse of the post-pregnant body, even years later. Anyways, there was no line up for the men's room. The men were telling us to just use the men's room. It's not a common occurrence but some men do have some compassion. We were a bit hesitant because it was just a couple men made the okay, but we weren't sure if it would be a problem for another.
What I don’t understand is why women’s rooms don’t have more stalls than men’s rooms. It’s a universal problem.
I believe by building code (at least in the US) there are a certain number of bathroom stalls/urinals based on intended occupancy. Under these guidelines, usually there ARE more stalls in a ladies' rooms than mens'.
Load More Replies...I give women a pass here. Women need cubicles. And they are usually the ones with kids needing to go as well. Men's rooms don't need to be the same size, as most of the traffic is at the urinals. But they make the two rooms equal size, despite the obvious fact that women should have more of the space. That's why there are lineups for the women but never for the men.
Eh, not creepy - it's just that men don't care if a woman goes into a men's room, but the opposite would ignite a firestorm! Also, women take much longer and public women's restrooms are generally nasty compared to men's rooms.
I once witnessed that during a break in a classical concert. You know who objected? Absolutely no one.
Like almost everything else in this patriarchal world, public restrooms were not designed with women's comfort in mind. So if the queue is long, best believe we'll utilise an empty cubicle elsewhere. Don't worry we won't pee everywhere like boys do. And we're no threat to your safety.
I got given a ticket for Deep Purple a few years ago - audience was 90% males mostly 60+ drinking lots of beer - the women thought it was hilarious that here was no queues for the loos and a long queue of anxious looking men.

I can assure you that a lot of men actually do that too.... And it's not about using the toilet but the chatting on the way there, in front of the mirror, checking in your make up and the way back. Just boring otherwise

Women are people. For good or ill. Some good ones, mostly average, or bad-probably a normal curve.
Women can get away with public displays of affection with other women much more easily. Whether it’s romantic or not, in conservative areas men who touch men for just a little too long get glared at or called slurs. Potentially worse.

Load More Replies...Seems like the main takeaway from this list is don’t touch people without their consent
Some feminists like to lecture men about consent, tell the world that men don't understand consent. But that is not the case. It is that men have more initiating desire, and are expected to make the first move. When women feel the same sort of desire, they show that they "don't understand consent" even more than men.
My pet peeves: giving me less than half the info I need and leaving me to 'figure out the rest, as a smart person should do'. Telling someone to tell me something because they don't want to communicate directly with me. I've had women in relationships and the workplace do both of these and it drives me freaking nuts.
Some of these fall into the category of women doing what they complain about in men; either everyone's allowed to do it, or no-one. Some men will be flattered by the attention; but women who just want to flirt shouldn't be surprised if men take it as a signal to go further, so you do it at your own risk - don't expect men, especially after drinking, to know what you intended. Still, nice to see some balance after the two anti-men articles this morning :)

Women can get away with public displays of affection with other women much more easily. Whether it’s romantic or not, in conservative areas men who touch men for just a little too long get glared at or called slurs. Potentially worse.
That's the US. Move to France and people get over it. Everyone bisous each other BUT we don't run our hands over each others' bodies.

Some feminists like to lecture men about consent, tell the world that men don't understand consent. But that is not the case. It is that men have more initiating desire, and are expected to make the first move. When women feel the same sort of desire, they show that they "don't understand consent" even more than men.
My pet peeves: giving me less than half the info I need and leaving me to 'figure out the rest, as a smart person should do'. Telling someone to tell me something because they don't want to communicate directly with me. I've had women in relationships and the workplace do both of these and it drives me freaking nuts.
Some of these fall into the category of women doing what they complain about in men; either everyone's allowed to do it, or no-one. Some men will be flattered by the attention; but women who just want to flirt shouldn't be surprised if men take it as a signal to go further, so you do it at your own risk - don't expect men, especially after drinking, to know what you intended. Still, nice to see some balance after the two anti-men articles this morning :)
Welcome to the life I've lived since the 60s, fellas who are just now having this happen to them. It's ugly, isn't it? And degrading? And unpleasant? Yes, it is.
So you are defending this because its happened to women? So to you its eye for an eye and men cant be the victims? Horrible...
