56 Things Men Still Get Totally Wrong About Women

That our emotionally deep friendships are somehow inferior to their emotionally distant ones? That we all secretly hate each other or something? 

It doesn’t even logically mesh with their other complaints. Between the two of us which gender is dealing with a loneliness epidemic…?

Oh, also, that you'll score points by comparing us favorably against other women. The lack of ability to see outside their own perspective is astounding. The first assumption is that I value your approval. Shocking. Also - talking [trash] about other people, in general, isn't a good strategy to gain favor or make a good impression.

That it’s a privilege and advantage in dating that men have low standards. Oh great, I love having a million options of men who don’t care about anything besides the fact I [am a woman].

This idolisation that dehumanises us. We are soft and caregiving and beautiful and ready to be a cook, a psychologist, a mom with benefits, let's say. When these aren't just given freely or we don't feel like someone deserves our time, then we are the worst and modern women lost their values etc. The feeling of resentment you'd have as a kid if your mom didn't nurture you. In both of these cases no woman has been seen understood and loved for who she really is.

That we value men finding us attractive. Please save your compliment. If it were up to me, you wouldn't be able to see me at all. My kingdom for an invisibility cloak. The only thing of value I get from an unsolicited compliment from some rando is that I can't talk to you like a normal person, because you don't see me as a person, you see me as a woman. After that, it's like - is there another person here I could talk to, or ok, time to get out. Nothing productive can come from an interaction with a sexist man, benevolent or not. They exist to annoy, obstruct and waste time. I'm mostly talking from a day-to-day perspective, but really, people have to understand the boundaries around appropriate behavior when you're not explicitly in a situation where both parties have expressed obvious interest in a romantic interaction. If it's not obvious? ERROR ON THE SIDE OF APPROPRIATE. That should be a given for anyone who is an adult. Hello.

That we don't have a strict moral code we choose to live by. 


Most of them think they can trick us into "anything goes" or believing that our boundaries don't matter.

That all women receive male attention. So many posts on this sub are "woe is me" accounts from men about how hard dating is because of this supposed fact. They never think about those of us who are invisible to the vast majority of men. It's possible to live your whole life as a woman and never be approached or asked out.

Every single one keeps having the root of "women are objects, property to be owned & doing anything to ourselves(including nothing, hi aging!) devalues us."

Atp I have no hope of men as a group ever changing on this. Evidence? Every move this American administration makes.

That we are all on the hunt for a date, a possible marriage whatever. Family and friends make this assumption as well hence the blind date. 🙄

The whole big p thing as well.

That we're all nice and good people and want to help others and are good at emotional support. I'm not any of those things, and I'm sick of it being constantly expected of me and the pushback I get from not doing what people think is required of me.

That we are not motherly patient magical fairies. We are just like them.

That we are gold diggers who will mock a man's emotions and use tears to manipulate.

Men think we get angry at them if we dream that they did something wrong. I think it’s a made up scenario to imply women are irrational. There is no way that actually happened.

That we are greedy. For sure we want our partner to have a good financial standing. But if a woman really truly loves a man, she will build with him and help him achieve his goals selflessly.
