We’ve all crossed paths with entitled people at some point, but many women would argue that they meet a few too many who happen to be men. From everyday interactions to online encounters, some guys really stride in with confidence that leaves everyone else blinking in surprise. And for women, these moments pile up more often than they’d like to admit.
So today, we’ve rounded up a collection of posts and thoughts from women calling out the entitled men they’ve dealt with. Some are hilarious, some are questionable, some are downright eye-rolling, but all of them are entertaining. Keep scrolling for a laugh and a relatable shake of the head.

My dad taught me (yes, I'm a girl) to aim for centre of mass when it comes to men.
I father told me to go for the nose or groin if I feel threatened. Stomach if I want him to like me, as in feed him.

Man hasn’t had any conversations with any women to find out what our fathers taught us about men.
Load More Replies...I was always told the way to a man's heart was through his stomach. That's because if you try to go through the chest the sternum and ribs get in the way.
I just taught my kids how to treat others as well as themselves. The only gender difference is that in a few years, I'll encourage my son (who is currently 7, so not quite ready) to carry menstrual products for his friends who menstruate and my oldest (who is 12 and nb but afab) how to use the products and to carry extras. I can't think of anything else that's different.
I don’t think it’s a good thing. Teaching your daughter “all men only want one thing” can cause her to have a very dysfunctional love life as an adult. And that overprotective shît will make her feel like she’s in jail.
I taught my daughter that the fastest way to a man's heart is just to the left of his sternum.
Or into the jugular notch, with the blade facing down.

I taught all my children that everyone is equal. I am proud of them. But I am sorry for author that his mum had to teach him how to treat a woman, looks like his dad wasn't good example.
This reminds me of when Peter Griffin teaches Meg Griffin (on the show "Family Guy") about dealing with men by locking her in the car and farting.
I had a man show me how to treat males which is all we need protection from since men are never the problem; the targets line up: eyes, throat, stomach, nuts and feet.
Youngest and eldest terms are redundant, you've told us (ad nausem) that you have two kids.
Load More Replies...Many women know the feeling all too well: you’re sharing a thought, explaining something, or just speaking in a normal conversation, and suddenly a man talks right over you. Not aggressively, not in a heated argument, just casually stepping in mid-sentence as if your words didn’t matter. It can be frustrating, especially when it happens repeatedly.
The worst part is that research shows it’s not just in your head. Women across workplaces, social spaces, and classrooms have experienced it. And once you start noticing it, it becomes impossible to ignore. This everyday interruption isn’t just rude; it makes women feel unheard in moments where they deserve the floor.
God, yes. I'm a 43yo (middle-aged, slower metabolism, lines on the face, perimenopause) who's given birth twice (stretch marks), had an appendectomy (scarring), has body hair, and an underactive thyroid (an even SLOWER metabolism, so overweight by roughly 25-30lbs). I LOOK like a 43yo who's given birth twice had an appendectomy, has body hair, and has an underactive thyroid (ok, truthfully, a dead one; decorative purposes only!). It's really, really, REALLY not my problem if you're not attracted to that 🤷
Multiple studies have taken a closer look at this pattern, and the results consistently tell the same story: men interrupt women more often. In one study, researchers observed 31 two-person conversations: some between two men, some between two women, and some between a man and a woman. The two same-sex groups combined showed only seven interruptions in total. But in the mixed-gender conversations, there were forty-eight interruptions, forty-six of which were done by the man. The numbers make the imbalance clear and hard to dismiss.
That's not true! We also raise our voices when we're not getting enough attention!
Another study from George Washington University found a similar trend. When men spoke with women, they interrupted about one-third more frequently compared to conversations with other men. In a simple three-minute exchange, men cut women off an average of 2.1 times. When speaking to another man, that number dropped to about 1.8. Women, on the other hand, interrupted men only around once in the same time frame. These findings show how uneven the experience of being heard can be, depending on who’s talking.
😂😂😂omg that Coldplay incident is never ever gonna be forgotten is it 😂
And this pattern isn’t limited to official meetings or high-pressure work scenarios. It appears in classrooms, professional spaces, team discussions, and casual conversations. Anywhere ideas are exchanged, the imbalance shows up. Students answering a question may be talked over, speakers presenting may be cut short, and even women chatting in groups may find themselves interrupted midsentence. This isn’t a one-setting problem, it’s something woven into social interaction itself.
Language expert Deborah Tannen explains that men and women often use conversation for different purposes. Men are more likely to speak in ways that show authority, strength, or position within a group. Women, meanwhile, often use speech to build relationships, connect, and create rapport. These different goals mean men may speak competitively, while women communicate more collaboratively. Neither approach is wrong, it just reflects different social conditioning.
I was living on the streets at 19 having married a as I found out once he put a ring on it a wife beater !, n I ran free one to many beatings ,the streets were far safer ! N yup I’m extremly embarrassed about it ,but at 19 what to we know 🤷♀️
",Sorry, I can't, since I'm too busy looking for grenades to catch!"
In societies like the United States, speaking is often associated with power. The person who holds the floor is usually seen as the one in control. Because of this, men, who may strive for status or presence, can feel compelled to jump in and take the lead. Interrupting becomes a way of grabbing that conversational spotlight. Women, on the other hand, may not view speaking as something to dominate. This difference can create conversations where men unintentionally overshadow women simply by taking up more space. It isn’t always intentional, but the impact is real.
I find it a bit ironic that many of the men that use "gold digger" as an indult for women then proceed to watch shows about gold diggers in Alaska because that work is so hard, tough and manly...
Women tend to interrupt less, partly because many are socialized to see conversation as a way to maintain connection and respect. Cutting someone off can feel impolite or dismissive, so they wait until the speaker finishes their point. This approach values harmony and cooperation. But in mixed conversations, it can mean women are more likely to lose the floor to someone who speaks faster or louder. While the intention is respectful, it sometimes results in their voices fading into the background.
And then there are the entitled men who interrupt simply because they feel they can. They jump into a conversation without pause, as though their thoughts automatically matter more than whoever is speaking. It’s not about urgency or misunderstanding, it’s a sense of ownership over the space and the moment. Women often find themselves suddenly silenced, not because their ideas lack value, but because someone else assumes the right to talk over them.
You didn't fall for the wrong guy. You fell for the good guy you thought he was. When I read that I felt so free.
These posts shine a light on the voices of women who are finally calling out entitled behavior: loudly and unapologetically. From men confidently misunderstanding the basics of menstruation to acting like experts in topics they know nothing about, some of these moments are so absurd they’re practically comedy. It’s the kind of ignorance that would be funny if it weren’t so real. Still, humor becomes a powerful tool here: women turning frustration into something sharp, clever, and shareable. They cut right to the truth with just the right amount of attitude. Which one had you laughing or shaking your head the most?
Who are experienced and wise enough to see right through that desperation.
And that's why the bro code provides no real emotional support - it's not about shared vulnerability but about avoiding embarrassment. The former is genuinely altruistic while the latter is inherently selfish (if a fellow male allows himself to be embarrassed, that undermines my own position of control). It's the difference between solidarity among oppressed and solidarity among oppressors. And this is literally sickening - hence the decline in men's mental health now that women are becoming more independent - yet we grow angry at women for not helping us with our feelings, never men. And yes, I know that feminists have been saying that all along - albeit more eloquently. There's a reason the Cassandra of greek mythology was a woman...
But that means you're playfully teasing them, which makes it even more obvious you wanna sleep with them. Maybe you should try ignoring them... which means you're playing hard-to-get, an even more surefire sign you want to sleep with them! (Sigh) Women are so difficult to read...
Much too nice on the men. No mention of selfishness and entitlement - big factors.
She has two lives (at least) on the line, but he has neeeeds
Wrong. It should be "I'm sorry that you think I hurt you" instead of "yes i hurt you".
And, you have to be self-confident to show you are more funny. So many people hide themselves.
What about a man who thinks he knows more about your job than you? That'd make it a Hell House.
Jamaican women rarely get interrupted, because it is impossible to do so. Lol. We will talk over God if he tries to interrupt us and we talk louder.
W*F is anyone calling anyone ugly? If you’re not interested, say no politely. Are we all just vindictive and entitled now?
Now that’s pure low life s c u m of the earth poor lass I hope she left him !,
Gordon down there commenting, but, big surprise, doesn't get it.
Same goes for so many people who skate by in life on nothing but their good looks. They forget that we all get old and will have to fall back on our intelligence, humor, wit, and personality to make us attractive. The rest of us have spent our entire lives developing those qualities, so the good lookers will end up lagging behind.
Men: I treated her like trash, cheated on her, and she still left!!! Nice guys really do finish last!
I guess it's that the people in Italy all spoke Latin once upon a time.
A Professor told me love was a psychosis because anything that profoundly changes your behavior from the normal should be considered as such. It makes sense if you think in terms of toxic people staying together, hurting each other, because of "love." Why on earth would a sane person do that?
To be fair, I’m a woman and I’m not a fan because she’s in her late 30s now and still writes lyrics like a 14 year old. I’m sure she’s a nice person but I don’t believe liking or not liking her is some test of feminism or emotional intelligence.
Guys I want your opinion on this. A few days ago I was cycling and I was supposed to make this turn on the other side of the road a few hundred metres ahead but then a motorcycle came from behind me so I had to slow down to let him pass as the turn was coming up. Instead of overtaking me the guy slowed down to my speed and got super close to the point where I nearly crashed into the sidewalk had I not done a super hard brake, he kept doing this all the way till my turn and this forced me to completely stop which was a problem as I’m too short to stand with my cycle. He just laughed and sped off. A similar incident happened a few minutes later and I saw him doing it to a woman security guard as well. I told this to my friends and they say it’s creepy & perverted but I’m not sure though I’ve started avoiding common pathways lately. So is this creepy behaviour or am I overreacting?
It's a-hole behaviour and he could cause an accident. Personally I'd report him to the police if I saw him do it again, regardless of if it was towards me or someone else.
Load More Replies...The interruption conversation between posts hit hard. I first noticed it during a class discussion nearly thirty years ago. My strategy now is to protect anyone being talked over. A simple "Excuse me. I believe they were making a point. Please let them finish." usually does the trick. It catches people off guard to hear that from a smallish woman. I used to keep quiet, but that made my blood boil. The subtle gratitude from the speaker makes the uncomfortable worth it every time.
The greatest feminist quote I've ever read was: "Dear Men, Please stop telling us how to not get r***d. Sincerely, Women"
Ever notice how a man will see a crazy male driver and say "That guy's a maniac", but when they see a woman driver do something they say "Women are bad drivers'?
I am really tired of this back and forth about men and women. There are shtty men and shtty women. You can't paint them all by the same brush. I do have two examples of shtty men though. I used to go to a gym and was very slim and fit to the point that I would get second looks from some people. I am not young so it was a compliment. I did have a guy come over and chat me up while I was working out and telling that "I will get there" and another male who was working out across the room, saw me and decided to come and check me out by pretending to work out on one the machines close to me. He decided I wasn't worth sticking around for, gave his head a little shake and moved on. Like I fkg cared. These two examples of male ego had me laughing. Like I give a sht about what their opinion of me was. 🙄 But there were some lovely guys there too, who were really nice. Like I said, not all men are dcks.
I am female but I feel insulted on behalf of men. They're not all rude, juvenile idiots. Please - no more of these unless you insult women equally.
I just separated this week, after 15 years, from a narcissistic, neglectful, spiritually a*****e "husband". This post made me feel solidarity, thank you ladies of BP. Some men really are just RIDICULOUS.
Do Gordon & Nils know they’re incels? I mean, can an impressionable, s******y inexperienced neckband just become one via confirmation bias, echo chamber, delusion and not realize it or does a simp with such a horrible grasp on reality have to have self-awareness they’re a cringy incel f**k????
Puff puff pass Ganesh. It's the internet. Take a breath. It'll all be here still tomorrow.
