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.

I find those guys weak. I always knew I wanted a wife who would protect me when I was down and allow me to protect her when she was down.
I'm not attracted to men, but I gotta say.... being secure in your manhood like that is a truly attractive trait.
Load More Replies...There was a sitcom with Queen Latifah called “Living Single”. I remember one bit of dialog from it. The women were talking about what the world would be like if there were no men. Queen Latifah’s character said it would be “full of fat, happy women and no crime”. Hear hear, Queen!
Other than maybe from bears, but we'd probably figure that out fine.
No worries I can cover the bears issue. (bears fear me for some reason)
Load More Replies...Nope we do wouldn’t !! Oh n I don’t need a man to protect me im quite capable of doing that myself , all men have ever done to me is physically and mental hurt me still got the scars and ptsd decades on ,no safe n divorced , so no no men equals safety!!!
Goddess bless you, Crystalwitch60. Having read many of your posts I feel like any man that tried his shît with you would end up backing away slowly. I think you’re now fine.
Load More Replies...omg this. sometimes I wish I was attracted to women just to double my pool of available people. Its slim pickings out there. I am jealous of my friends that are Bi as they always have dates or relationships. Unfortunately I am 100% attracted to males much to my annoyance.
Don’t worry mate, I’m bi yet I’ve been rejected by all genders. We’re in the same boat
Load More Replies...LOL, I’ve thought the same thing in slightly different words: “If sëxüal orientation was a choice, there would be a lot more lesbians.”
Oh if it was a choice think of all your female friends that would make AMAZING life partners!
Oh, I wish. I have a couple of amazing women in my life who, if they weren't hetero, we would be a couple (we actually had this conversation 😆). Alternatively, I saw an article recently in the paper where close same-sex heterosexual friends who were done with the whole sex thing just moved in together and they're essentially a couple except for the having sex bit. I'd so go for that sort of relationship, too. Edit: I'm so sorry, Pandas; I said the naughty 's' word. *Proceeds to go and edit post to show said "naughty" 's' word*
Load More Replies...HA! So true. Once burned, twice shy? Too dam* many tricksters out there.
I always say I'll become a lesbian out of desperation. I can't picture that day ever happening since I'm not gay. Sexuality can't be turned on & off. Those who think otherwise are cuckoo.
That may be the most nonsensical thing you've ever posted. And that's saying something.
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...Man hasn't heard private conversations between people and their children. More at 11.
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.
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 🤷
Men can literally look and smell like a testicle and still ask "why aren't you interested?"
I think that there is a UNIVERSAL version of this one: I need EVERYONE to stop holding their body image to a standard set by an unattainable standard set by persons who are attracted to an ideal.
The man you find who really loves you will not hold you to any standard, except loving him equally in return.
Very true I’ve had an amazing man almost 20 years and I’m tougher on my self image then Him by light years
Load More Replies...And it's usually men who do nothing to keep up their own appearance. It's okay for them to have belly flab, but that woman over there...yuk. So clueless.
🏆 Double standard, for sure. Terrible-looking men want gorgeous women, and ignore the many women who do not happen to look like movie stars.
Load More Replies...Same here. I thought I was "rude, disrespectful, ungrateful, too sensitive" etc. Turned out I was living in a tox1c family, with a highly misogynistic and abus1ve father.
I was told I was, "manipulative, secretive, abandoned others, greedy, selfish, and forced THEM into poverty". Time and law proved I was the opposite, and they were describing themselves, and what they were jailed for was the tip of nightmare. As an adult, I could never imagine doing what they did to any other human, let alone my children.
Load More Replies...Almost same. I thought I was mean and insensitive. Turned out my ex was manipulative
Since my divorce my mental health has improved significantly, I've dropped my meds to the lowest dose. She was a complete b***h, she ruined my life and our eldest son's. A***e is a***e, whoever is doing it.
A car salesman once told me I was an aggressive driver...for a woman. I showed him aggressive all the way back to the salesroom.
Sadly, it's not just men who have bias. I hired a company to install a new AC unit at my house. They arrive and it's two women. For a split second, I looked behind them, until I realized I was looking for the guy. I mean, there had to be a man, right? Nope, it was just these two women. Did a great job as far as I know. Never had an issue. (Neither weighed over 125 pounds, so I have no idea how they got that big AC unit up the hill and around the back.)
I can relate, Marnie! When when BIL in law died in my apartment (home hospice) 2 smallish women showed up to remove him. He was a big guy, think like 6'5", 250 pounds, and they got him in a plastic sled like thing, down the hallway and down 2 flights of stairs, seemingly effortlessly. Then lifted him by hand into the coroner's wagon. Never doubt.
Load More Replies...My dude, you are "Fungus John". I reckon anything is on the up from there!
Load More Replies...We don't. This is only my opinion, but women don't generally compliment us because they (probably rightly) assume that men will take any compliment as being flirting. Men don't compliment us, because they are paranoid that it IS flirting. As a result, it's only your friends that will tell you 'well done' and that's about it.
Load More Replies...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.

Load More Replies...Well... I mean... once a month it does feel like something's crackin' in there XD
Actually, it kind of is. Your eggs are encapsulated in a fleshy tube and must break through a thin membrane to be released. That's why some women feel a sharp, brief pain when they ovulate.
Load More Replies...My 2 youngest boys (12 and 13 at the time) asked me if women really shed once a month when they get their periods. 😆 Luckily they were smart enough to ask a woman.
If that was true nobody would ever have a period again.
Load More Replies...He's not entirely wrong, just not a biology major either. Not everybody is. There is a protective layer that is what the s***m have to penetrate otherwise you'd be having mutant babies every time with more chromosomes from the male side.
Yes, but it's a soft protective layer. Not hard like an actual shell.
Load More Replies...That's not true! We also raise our voices when we're not getting enough attention!
Is that why my dad yelled at me and my brother so much?
Since this thread has to do with Male/Female ideas, I raise my voice (with my Wife) as she is forever interrupting me. I raise my voice to finish a sentence.
My husband says the same thing - that I'm "interrupting him" - when I'm actually agreeing or treating our talk as a two-way conversation between equals rather than him delivering a lecture. I don't mind someone lecturing if they're teaching me something, but it annoys the hell out of me when he talks down to me in a normal conversation, though he insists he's not doing so.
Load More Replies...Wanting to eff a virgin is the absolute height of masculine fragility: "I wouldn't want her to have the experience to see how bad I am in the sack. Better that she's unprepared."
Can you imagine going back 30,000 years and telling the people then that this is what men think now. They would be astonished that great s*x between two people who want to, and know how to, give each other pleasure is being displaced by poking a pénis randomly at some poor young girl who thinks this means love but has no agency to do anything.
I'm sorry, but Jean M. Auel wasn't writing a documentary. While women may have had more agency prior to the spread of animal husbandry and agriculture, the idea that human hunter-gatherer societies were some sort of utopian egalitarian society in which everybody respected everybody and people all had great food and great s*x is a fantasy created by fiction writers and a few cultural anthropologists who had absolutely no understanding of biology of any type.
Load More Replies...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 😂
Except... No doubt, His nanny and/or spouse was raising the children and his personal assistant booked the tix. That just left him too much down time... He HAD TO find something to do... with a mistress. JK!!
Exactly. If he was doing any childcare or household stuff, he wouldn’t have time or energy to have an affair.

Man, and Coldplay suuucks. Sorry, not sorry, I'll probably be downvoted to heck but they're overrated af
Thank you for this deep and profound insight into the unfathomable reaches of the male psyche. Whatever would we do without brave, intrepid philosophers like you who take the heavy burden of delivering the answers to the deepest mysteries of life upon themselves?
Load More Replies...Well, sometimes. Some guys only half a*s it so it’s so bad they don’t get called on to do it again. I think that’s called “strategic incompetence”, and it’s deliberate.
The fact that you were happily and voluntarily thinking about what would be nice for your specific partner has such a magical effect. After my last birthday my husband said to me “I was thinking it had been ages since I bought you some nice Art Deco jewellery”. The point isn’t ‘buy women Art Deco jewellery’, it’s a) because you love her you pay attention and catch onto what she likes and b) because you love her you think about nice things you can do for her. Put the two together and hey presto!
'It's the 'pre' part that 'gets' 'them'?' He was 'this' close to getting it.
I said this because there was a time when my SO had periods every 2-3 weeks. Suggested she talk to a doctor ASAP. She ended up having had an unnoticed miscarriage and subsequent hormonal imbalance. She was close to hemorrhaging.
Weird shît can happen to women, related to periods.
Load More Replies...Your monthly bleeding volume has expired. You're now bleeding with reduced capacity
My *mother*. A *woman* asks me the same d**n question. One of these days I'm going to snap and explain to her that regardless of how much she hates other women, I, as a healthy 36 year old am nowhere near menopause. So yes, yes I do have a period. Yes, every month.
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.
Sinbad joke. Patrice O neil died from DKA bc his gf didnt understand
But that means they'd have to grow up and live up to real standards lol
Since when was 30 stroke age? I'm offended at the ageism, since I could identify a stroke by 12, when they taught the FACE method in health class.
I don't/never have understood this. Putting your hand on the back/waist of a Lady is a familiar gesture; as in something you'd do you your partner. I would NEVER do this to a Woman unless we are an item.
Sounds like you have common sense! :) Going to need to you share that with some of the other men-folk!
Load More Replies...Yikes. I'm a woman, and I usually put my hand gently on anyone when I squeeze past. Never again!
A waitress in a cafe put her hand on my back when leaning in to talk to us... I don't like it. I really don't want strangers of any gender touching me when there is zero need.
Load More Replies...And please, just because you are bigger, don't pick us up and walk around with us like we are department store manikins. Or stand in our way so we can't leave a room. The former makes us feel like idiots and the latter is intimidating.
The latter is an invitation to an immediate kick into the family jewels. If a man tries to keep me from leaving a room, I'll admit he wants to ra.pe me, and I'm not waiting to find out whether I'm right.
Load More Replies...Reminds me of when we were in line to get darshana at a temple and this guy behind kept rubbing himself on me, I feel so disgusted still but I can’t blame him since personal space isn’t a concept in my country
For all of the men in the comments saying that they would never do this, PLEASE CALL OUT ALL OTHER MEN THAT YOU SEE DOING THIS. They don't listen to us, but if other men start calling them out, maybe maybe maybe they'll finally get the hint. Or at least want to stop being treated like predators by the other guys that are around.
I don't know why strangers need to willingly/ willfully touch strangers anywhere except for a handshake or a quick shoulder tap. And I'm kind of on the fence about the shoulder tap.
My shoulders hurt, they're arthritic (started in my 30s and I'm not old), I have fibromyalgia so sometimes my skin feels raw. You never know how a person feels. So I'd suggest falling off the fence on the side of not doing it, unless you have no other option in getting their attention. Just my opinion though.
Load More Replies...I've always treated men and women the same in this situation. Firmly (but not rough or slapping) put my hand on the back of their shoulder and immediately say something along the lines of "Excuse me, can I/we get past you?" Nobody has ever given me grief doing that.
Because if they waited for people to turn 25 before joining the military, there wouldn’t BE a military.
Load More Replies...Amen!! I have told my boys from an early age to not make ANY major life decisions before the age of 25 because although I had never seen it advised, I could sense it. Ironically, I was fine with one joining the Army Reserves at a younger age (we were an Army family at one time so he knew what it might include). Unfortunately, the other chose to marry at 21 -- found himself in a toxic relationship -- and divorced by 25. BOTH of them tell me all the time how true and factual my advice was/is. It was almost like they were able to feel the mental and physiological changes that took place as their brains settled into place and made sense.
I have a daughter in her early 30's. Can confirm, Brandi.
Load More Replies...This is why you can't get into the military after 26 - they can't mold you as easily.
Physically, maybe. They still brainwashing fully grown adults out here to do things like vote for a wall, or vote for the village idiot, or tear down a statue.
Load More Replies...Got that right! This is why I’m glad now that I was single longer than most of my friends (although I wasn’t glad at the time.) Especially the having kids part. I can handle being married or having a serious partner. I could not have handled kids—but I didn’t realize that until my friends started having kids, and I saw how stressful their lives became.
The advice to get married and have children before 25 is a remnant from the old times, when everything had to be done much earlier because people just died from everything much sooner. It made sense considering the appalling life expectancy and within the frames of the patriarchal society of yore. It makes much less sense now.
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.
As a straight white male, I don't think I get celebrated enough. It's not like everything in society is and historically has been geared towards me. Jesus Christ, people.

Load More Replies...When I was 19, my girlfriend was 25. We had so much in common that we quickly couldn't stand to be in the same room. How much did we think alike? On the day I came home intending to tell her to move back to her apartment, she wasn't there - because she had moved back to her apartment that morning.
I was already 23 when I got my first boyfriend. It doesn't change. Even I am embarrassed.
It’s actually so true. The guy I dated at 19 was horrendous. Like restraining order horrendous. Oh and guess what? He was older…

Just got back from a very short vacation with my mom. The whole time I'd been just a little bit hopeful and a little bit worried about the state of the house when I returned. The bed I stripped to wash the sheets was still stripped, but by gravy... the kitchen was clean, the cat box was pristine, the trash was out, and the floors swept and mopped. I kinda hate how happy and surprised I am.
Instead of dying for a Woman, could you make it bearable to share a good life?
Dudes who say this would catch a g*****e for noone. They just want the story of catching a g*****e. It could be targeting a pile of trash and he's gonna swoop down like Rambo.
That reminds me of this one guy I knew who was telling me about how he’d go to battle for his girlfriend (but was constantly talking to other woman behind her back and also had to ask me how to consider other people, it was such a foreign concept to him). And I asked him, as we sat in the backyard of his house in a suburb of Los Angeles, which battle nearby was he running into for her? And pointed out there were no Vikings raiding his yard when he made some other asinine comment about men fighting for centuries to protect women yadda yadda yadda
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...
This was one of the arguments I had with my ex. He called me a "gold digger" and I replied: "dear, if I were a gold digger, I'g go for guys who own yachts, limos and exotic islands. You go to work by bus and - at almost 40 y.o. - you still live with your mommy, who cooks and cleans every day for you." We didn't last long.
Yeah, my husband tried that once. Once. I told him I had dated genuinely wealthy men long before he came into my life, so if I really was a golddigger we would never have met. I also asked, “Yeah? So where’s all YOUR money, Diamond Jim?” He saw the light and never mentioned it again.

Load More Replies...As a medical professional I've found old women are the toughest and young obese women the least tough.
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.
I never understood this. Telling someone to smile is idiotic. GIVE THEM A REASON TO SMILE....Then, they'll smile....DUH !

When strangers do this as I drive past them, concentrating on the road, it ruins my day. I figured they did this so I would NEVER smile at them.
For thousands of years men were in power. They could have made us feel loved safe, appreciated. What we feel today is a response to our experiences. Who gave us (and our foremothers) these experiences? Oh, but us criticising them is the problem apparently. "But I didn't do it" - darlings, I'm German by birth, I didn't k**l a single Jew, and still I take the responsibility to LEARN from what happened, and see to it that it doesn't happen again.
Hmm, I have and still do, love, cherish and respect the women in my life. The OP seemingly has met/had some bad men in her life. Learn to understand the people in this world are individuals and not all the same. My ex cheated on me, but for that one person to a***e my trust does not mean I think all others are untrustworthy.

Load More Replies...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.
technically all the humanhood was made by women with 5mins of effort by men XD

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.
My BIL refused to date his current girlfriend for the first 5 years they knew each other because she's 4 years older than him. He was in his 40s and thought he'd meet a 30 year old who would have his children, not a 40 some divorcée with grown kids. I'm glad he got over it, she's great for him.
I got in on the ground floor. Dated a 37 year old when I was 24. Learned a few things.
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...
Sadly, it doesn’t work. When I was in college, my buddy tried to get together with a girl who made it abundantly clear to him that she wasn’t interested. She literally told him to stop contacting her, stop bothering her. He kept calling, sending letters, gifts, and so on. Finally, she asked me to tell him that she finds him repulsive, because nothing she’d tell him directly would work. So I passed that to him. He thought for a moment and said, “She is clearly repressing her true feelings. Some deep-seated complexes preventing her from opening up to me”.
And / but if you're mean to them, they want you even more... It's a no win.
Much too nice on the men. No mention of selfishness and entitlement - big factors.
Women always seem to blame themselves when a man cheats. "What is wrong with me?" they often lament. My dear, it ain't you. It's 100% them.
True, but darling... If I may -- I suggest you not post a bikini pic on your profile... Really? That's double talkin' counter intuitive . SMFH
Well If women have boundaries and dare to say no to men, they are called b*tches or Terfs.
As a cis woman, I'd say that the vast majority of us have no problem with trans women because they're certainly not wanting to dehumanise, insult, a b u s e women. It's interesting that those who do have a major issue with trans women - the folk who get called TERFs - insist that they're just standing up for women and worried about the danger from a b u s i v e/perverted males who might be pretending to be trans women to lull women into a false sense of security - but they never seem to worry about the danger from the infinitely more common 99.99999% of a b u s i v e males who aren't pretending to be trans. I think the term TERFs is lazy though - most of them certainly aren't radical feminists.
Load More Replies...A feminine equivalent of "emasculated" is the seldom-used "virago". (The fact that it is seldom used is quite telling.)
It was the name of a feminist press, but I don’t think they exist anymore. Shame, they published some good books.
Load More Replies...If a self declared Alpha gets emasculated, does he get promoted to "real man" or demoted to another made up gender? They keep making it so difficult.
Was this written by a guy who has never seen a woman treated in such a way that she will stay with an emotionally and physically a*****e guy.
In the old days, if a woman was independent, smart, capable, and self-sufficient, the patriarchy would say she had “unsexed herself “, and probably would’ve burned her as a witch. I say f**k that noise. Of course, I too would’ve been burned as a witch. Unless I managed to escape or outwit.
Load More Replies...If you can lose it this easily, it's not power but self-delusion.
Load More Replies...As a man of 5'6 I can address this. I have never been self conscious per se, BUT it was always a talking point with Women I wanted to date..."you're too short for me.", "I don't date under 5'7", etc.......so, it was something that was always made aware to me by Women.
At least those women told you right up front that they're garbage people who aren't worth your time and energy.
Load More Replies...Unless they hunched too much in middle school. Then it's partially their fault.
Load More Replies...Always, when I am considering dating an online meet that has mentioned their height on their bio, that fact, tall or short absolutely holds no value for me. But, inevitably, if the man happens to be on the shorter side of average, THEY bring it up. My response, as an average-height woman, is to advise that as long as they don't mind the occasion that my boots might bring me a couple inches above them, I sure don't.
Idk about men but my family kind of mocks me for being short to the point where I feel ashamed of being in my own body and snap when others comment on my height. Maybe some guys could be going through this pressure? Idk honestly
It's become a dating point for lots of women lately. Despite this article making us seem like we're all the devil, women put standards on men almost as often. This has always been a 2 way road. I was raised by a feminist and my mom knows this.
While I agree with the overall point being made, why is "empty stomach" in there?
You forgot their BO, bad breath, and their bad attitudes about women, as well as their delusions about their own worth.
And they have "No Fat Chicks" mud flaps while their beer belly completely hides the waistband and belt on their pants and we need polarized sunglasses to reduce the glare from their bald pate. .
Sometimes their whole face looks like it might improve if it was covered by a big toenail 🤭 sorry I just had to put a cherry on top
Load More Replies...One of these days, some woman that Donald insults is going to snap, and tell him to FOAD on national TV. I would pay good money to see that!
Load More Replies...In some cases (looks at certain politicians) i do doubt that your statement is correct. All being a stretch.
Load More Replies...Asking for a source does not always express doubt. Sometimes it denotes delighted agreement and the desire to add that arrow to your quiver.
She has two lives (at least) on the line, but he has neeeeds
Well if he has neeeeeds then he can use his own haaaands
Load More Replies...My friend's partner chose to call and request a booty call from me... while she was in the hospital giving birth to their child. When I was finally able to choke the words "F*** U!!" out and slam the phone down (this was the age of landlines), I was left in absolute awe of the gall of that pathetic pseudo human. Unfortunately, months later, after dealing with stress migraines every time I worked with the gal, I finally broke down and spilled the beans to her, sharing what had happened while her lower regions were being ripped apart by the exiting child. Friendship eradicated immediately when she accused me of lying (why? W*F good would it do me? How might I benefit?). But... So were the headaches and stress of living with the secret. In those kind of situations, I count on KARMA to take care of business.
Well they've gotten her pregnant and proven their manhood, but now hate her body. And they will complain about her body forever after the baby. That's their excuse.
Wrong. It should be "I'm sorry that you think I hurt you" instead of "yes i hurt you".
This isn't exclusive to men, it's disgusting gaslighting, and very hard to deal with.
The fact that ALL doctors think a future man/husband we might someday meet should be involved in our body decisions is a horrifying part of every female reality in EVERY nation right now.
Opinions are OK. It's human, we all form opinions on pretty much anything we experience. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean a right to communicate said opinion, much less a duty on our part to consider it, act on it, be affected by it. And of course, laws must be based on facts and justice, not opinions.
My grandmammy always taught "opinions are like a******s! Everyone's got one, but nobody cares to see yours! Especially not in church."
Load More Replies...Ok, years ago in military...at tech school, one young handsome instructor was always hitting on women. From the rumors, he was somewhat successful. I thought he was creepy and avoided him....until one day when his wife stopped by for something. I walked up to her and said something like, "Oh, you must be Creep's sister...he's mentioned you a time or two. I have to tell you, he's really popular with the ladies." Then I walked away. Luckily I didn't have a class with him.
I hope she has his mothers info too, but she's probably passed on, if not rolling in her grave now.
And, you have to be self-confident to show you are more funny. So many people hide themselves.
I don't date (been married for almost 40 years, since age 22, to a smart and funny woman). I honestly cannot comprehend why other men are intimidated by clever women. If I see a funny or smart woman, I think wow, how amazing is she? Imagine the great conversations we could have and how inspiring she would be.
No, its true. Men hate women who are funnier/cleverer than them.
Load More Replies...Safer, by far. And even my boyfriend wasn't harassed in that gay bar we visited with our gay friends, although a lot of men found him handsome. Sooo relaxing!
Load More Replies...What about a man who thinks he knows more about your job than you? That'd make it a Hell House.
"A haunted house, but it's just being trapped in a room with a man"
I would feel that horror. Got told by my BIL I am uneducated in history because my Bachelor's MCL with Honors was titled as "Arts", when I took EVERY history/archelology/anthropology/art class available at 2 colleges with 3.83 GPA. Immediately turned my 6 years of hard work and t*****e into nothingness.
Don't let your BIL's uneducated àss tear you down. You know how hard you worked and what classes you took, maybe he's intimidated by your knowledge so he chooses to try and bring you down to his level. Don't let him.
Load More Replies...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.
Another tactic: Let them finish talking, then start over with what you were saying, completely ignoring what they said.
Good tactic, but unfortunately other men will often go with what they say.
Load More Replies..."He has real golden retriever energy. It's wonderful". "STOP DEHUMANIZING HIM, B.I.T.C.H!"
What is a "golden retriever boyfriend?" I'm not being snarky, I've never heard that term.
loyal, super happy and friendly, up for anything. just all around the perfect boyfriend
Load More Replies...I found a good one too, but I still occasionally have to remind him of the clueless thing he just said. To be fair, he listens and tries to correct it.
Load More Replies...Those aren't men, those are males. There are still men around, you just have to hone your skills and set your b******t meter to high sensitivity.
Oh noes! A man I don't know exists is not paying attention to me! How will I go on?????
I’m fairly sure she’s grateful for every single man that leaves her alone
I feel if he noticed that she's the prettiest girl in the room, and then actively tries to ignore her, then he is drawing more attention to himself by doing so. I think most women are smart enough to see right through this behavior.
Because part of his actively ignoring her is him doing his utmost to make sure she notices him ignoring her.
Load More Replies...I wanted to up vote the original post, but don't want to because of the reply. We need a third button of some kind.
They also don’t make salaries equal to men for the SAME work! So we’re way more choosy with how we spend our hardER earned money.
That's illegal, you should sue if you have evidence of women at your company being underpaid compared with the men. My mother in law and her female coworkers just about put their company into bankruptcy with their discrimination lawsuit payout. And this was an international corporation. Talk to your coworkers about pay. Post that s**t on the front door.
Load More Replies...W*F is anyone calling anyone ugly? If you’re not interested, say no politely. Are we all just vindictive and entitled now?
Ah, but you forget Schroedinger's woman who is "super hot" and "s**y" while the guy is hitting on her, and "an ugly fat b***h" after she rejected him!
Load More Replies...Now that’s pure low life s c u m of the earth poor lass I hope she left him !,
Unfortunately, that difference will only make a difference once each of them will have to wear a sign with what they are.

Load More Replies...It’s not that they hate drama, they hate when women hold them accountable for creating it. Cue shocked pikachu: what do you mean you’re upset that I cheated on you?? You’re so dramatic.
Gordon down there commenting, but, big surprise, doesn't get it.
boy, it's not as if you self-declared "intellectual" come across as anything even close to clever. You should sit this one out.
Load More Replies...I'm sorry, I might be genuinely missing the point here, so please feel free to enlighten me. Why are men idiots when they start speaking to her intellectually, when they realise she is smart? What exactly is she alluding to here?
How could anyone ever have thought that it would work in the first d****d place? It’s one thing if both of you are doing it playfully, making it very obvious you are not serious by choosing to insult stuff that is NOT true about the other person, choose outlandish stuff, like they painted a fake Mona Lisa abs swapped it for the original or something—-and remember to put the poker face away, folks, and make silly faces to telegraph, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that you are only kidding. If you don’t, then you will look like you’re serious, and your “joking” will be taken as insults that you actually mean and fall absolutely flat. Basically, the only way this b******t could ever land you a date would take so much mental effort and wit that few men would be qualified to make the attempt.
Other men told them, nothing we women say can convince them that it's not right.
Load More Replies...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.
Let's not generalize anyone please? If it's not fair to do to us, it's not fair to do. Period. My dude is tall, my trivia team (including a woman) make me look like I've got stunted growth. I'd not spend time with any of them if they weren't amazing, fully developed, interesting humans.
Oh stop with your b******g, 80% of the men I've dated were shorter than me. Know what they weren't? Insecure, whiny, misogynist manbabies
Load More Replies...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.
Maybe some songs just vibe with some people but me, I don't get Taylor Swifts appeal. The emotional level of her technically top trained singing is like a really really well trained TV anchor. Her fault? Certainly not.
Load More Replies...In my defense, I don't know what any lyric to any song by anyone means.

I'm smart as a whip, but sometimes thicker thana hippo. PRoblem solving, social reads, anything to do with multiple languages... we're cool. It took me two whole nights at a cabin to realize the outdoor, inground table was a fire pit. Mom always told me that true intelligence is admitting ignorance. That has helped immensely in life.

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????
