30+ Tweets From Women Pointing Out How Silly Society’s Expectations Are
Some parts of feminist ideology are dramatic and bold; the Women’s March, the #MeToo movement, and celebrities outing a particular Hollywood producer were all important turning points in the movement for gender equality. To fight the little guy, you sometimes need to just do what you can every day. Actually, that’s equally significant! Watch the women who are exposing misogyny on social media as they fight for feminism!
Natural Look
Why on earth does this random guy believe that the OP is interested in what he likes? Was he really that conceited as to think that she did her makeup for his benefit? Also, let’s face it, men claim to want women to look “natural,” but when she skips makeup, they inquire as to her health. The OP shouldn’t have had to listen to how Chad prefers women while she was scrambling to apply her makeup during her morning commute.
Good Thinking!
We all need to know what this means in order to live! Hepeated, Mansplaining, and Manspreading are currently in use. We just need a phrase for when a man calls a woman “crazy” for seeing a red flag in his unhealthy behavior. Or how about Hemented (He+Demented)?
Good Thinking!
Tell people that a guy is Hemented the next time he tries to make you wonder if you’re crazy for being rightfully alarmed by something he did. Simply have Brad repeat the concept if your male friends don’t like it—then they’ll love it!
Can You Explain?
This woman has discovered the ideal response to creepy remarks. Making someone repeat something repeatedly is the only way to make them stop and consider what they just said.
Can You Explain.
Since this guy seems to enjoy mansplaining, he should have been thrilled at the chance to elaborate on what he said. He was well aware that his comment was offensive, as shown by the fact that his shame overcame his desire to mansplain.

There are a few methods you can react when someone texts you indecent content. You could simply block them, but what would be the fun in that? The OP has a great sense of humor, as evidenced by her excellent response to the guy who asked her to send him nudes.

While we’re at it, always keep in mind that you should send a photo of a package back if a guy sends you an unsolicited picture of his member. It’s only appropriate to do so!
You Can Always Ask
Guys, don’t worry; no one is counting on you to have mind-reading abilities. Simply ask! You are already in a situation where discussing intimate actions is not only acceptable but encouraged if a woman has agreed to intimacy with you.
You Can Always Ask
Discuss what is and isn’t appropriate in a conversation. Ask permission before beginning something new if you don’t want to chatter away the moment. We promise that asking “Is this okay?” won’t ruin the atmosphere; on the contrary, it might make it better!
Nothing To Be Embarrassed About
We concur with the OP; the husband must leave. Why would anyone feel embarrassed about a bodily function that affects a large portion of the population and is perfectly normal? He feels ashamed?
Nothing To Be Embarrassed About
Having a husband who is embarrassed by our periods would make us feel terrible. He needs to be double bagged, stat! We’re curious as to whether he experiences the same shame when he has to buy himself some Tums or acne cream. Asks his wife to double bag those, do you think?
Toxic Men And Gillette
Do you recall the Gillette razor commercial that suggested men were capable of more than toxic masculinity? Some people recognized the advertisement for what it was: a genuine call to action that affirms men and tells them they can be more.
Toxic Men And Gillette
There were, of course, those with fragile egos who insisted that the advertisement was a “attack on masculinity.” Do those men want people to believe they are just victims of their testosterone desires and that they are unable to do any better? Wouldn’t that be even more offensive?
Smile!
This is a really good question. We also have some other questions, such as why men don’t put their hands on the small of other men’s backs to pass them if it’s just a harmless way to do so.
Smile!
Why don’t men make catcalls to other men if it’s so flattering? Why don’t men call each other derogatory nicknames like “baby” and “honey” when they’re not in a relationship if it’s such a cute way to bond? Looking for a response? Let’s wait.
Asking For It, They Said
When someone dares to claim that a woman was “asking for it” because of the way she was dressed, they should be met with this defense. It’s also important to note that 90% of violence against women is committed by men, according to dividedstatesofwomen.com.
Asking For It, They Said
It’s interesting to note that most violence committed against men is by men. It is obvious that the idea that “boys will be boys” is ineffective and that a change is necessary. No, it need not be women’s clothing that is altered.
‘I Have A Boyfriend’ Always Works
Any woman who has ever had to face unwanted attention from men knows that telling him you have a boyfriend is the best way to get him to back off. They’ll ask why if you simply respond with any form of “no,” and for each reason you give them, they’ll have a counterargument.
‘I Have A Boyfriend’ Always Works
They will insist that their magical member can change you if you admit that you are a lesbian. They will follow you if you simply leave. They will respect you more if you tell them that you have a man.
Talk Appropriately Then
Men who are offended by feminism are either irrationally afraid of gender equality or genuinely afraid of losing the ability to act in a misogynistic manner.
Talk Appropriately Then
Typically, statements like “You’re basically saying I can’t talk to women anymore” go along with these feelings. You see, if you lack the ability to communicate effectively, you can no longer speak to women. So tell us, Chad, are you able to communicate with women.
Victim Blaming
The story that society tells about this insult needs to be changed drastically. It ought to be something we tease fathers about because it really is a sign of his poor parenting. Making a woman’s father’s mistakes fun of?
Victim Blaming.
Comparable to seeing Pirates of the Caribbean without Johnny Depp, that is about as logical. Additionally, can we all agree that it is absolutely ridiculous that a woman’s problems stem from her father?
You Should Have Worn A Helmet
Perhaps he wanted to be struck in the head? If not, did he let her know? Is he certain she heard him? He would have worn a helmet if he had truly wanted to protect himself from being struck in the head.
You Should Have Worn A Helmet
He must have wanted it because he was bleeding; otherwise, his body would have found a way to stop the whole thing. We just don’t think it’s right to ruin this woman’s life for what might have been a miscommunication.
Women And Children First
Men were the ones who created the “women and children first” rule. This rule is a myth that was never actually followed, claims newscientist.com. They claim that the British elite created this idea to deny women the constitutional right to vote.
Women And Children First
They demonstrated that men would always act in the best interests of women, even if it meant putting their own lives in danger, by using the myth of “women and children first.” This kind of morbid chivalry, though, never actually occurred.
Is It Distracting?
Ah, the good ol’ gender-specific double standards for modesty. Women cannot expose their chests in public like men can. In spite of the fact that men’s chests should never be exposed to the public, women’s chests must be used to feed infants.
Is It Distracting.
In addition, while boys are rarely sent home for their clothing choices, girls are frequently sent home from school for dressing in a way that is “distracting.” Young girls will get the impression that education is less significant than education for boys as a result of this.
Back To You
Many societies appear to want to take away women’s rights before becoming upset that women demand to be treated as such. Can’t women have bank accounts, degrees, or jobs? Okay, so stop whining when she acts like a gold digger.
Back To You
Does it have to be a full-term pregnancy for women? OK, have fun making child support payments! Instead of blaming the women who were never involved in the conversation, men who don’t like the outcomes of these laws should probably change the rules.
The Huge Age Gap
We all know that older men are portrayed in Hollywood as distinguished and attractive. The grandmother of the main character will most likely be played by any actress over the age of 35. But according to the Journal of Population Economics, couples who are close in age tend to be the happiest and have the lowest divorce rates.
The Huge Age Gap
Hollywood, sadly, doesn’t care about reality and keeps pairing ridiculously young women with older male leads. For instance, Scarlett Johanssen was 18 when Lost in Translation was being filmed, while Bill Murray, her on-screen boyfriend, was 52.
This Or Back To Stabbin’?
This only serves to show that the problems the #MeToo movement brings to light aren’t new; they were just never discussed. Women had to come up with creative ways to get men to keep their hands to themselves even in earlier times.
This Or Back To Stabbin’.
Of course, even then, women who were legitimately upset about something were labeled “crazy.” Some things just seem to remain the same, it seems. So, creeps of the world, you have a choice: you can be exposed on social media, or you can get stabbed with a hat pin. Your decision.
Because Men Can’t Take No For An Answer
Anyone else noticing the incredibly arrogant language this guy is using? He believes that women owe him something, but why? in particular, their bodies? The male privilege runs deep with this guy, as evidenced by the fact that he doesn’t even recognize the flaws in what he’s saying.
Because Men Can’t Take No For An Answer
Something tells us that his future girlfriends will cause him a lot of “headaches,” particularly if they manage to read this post. Sincerely, this guy is giving us a headache!
Can’t Blame Her
We can’t even hold that female shark responsible. Sometimes, someone just irritates you so frequently and incessantly that there really doesn’t seem to be any other way to handle it.
Can’t Blame Her
Normally, we only have to put up with obnoxious coworkers or students, but poor this shark had to put up with it! Let this serve as a warning to anyone considering entering a woman’s private space: you might get eaten.
Just Don’t Do It
Marriage typically takes place on a man’s timeline, so the idea that it is a trap for men is completely absurd. How exactly do men get “trapped” when they are traditionally the ones to make the proposal? Don’t propose to a woman if you don’t want to marry her!
Just Don’t Do It
Let’s do away with the “I hate my wife” cliche while we’re at it. Get a divorce if she’s really that bad! Don’t whine about how terrible your wife is to your friends just to fit in with the guys.
Effortlessly Ace This Course
This is a real advertisement for the University of Adelaide, believe it or not. The university appears to offer a Master’s in Mansplaining, even though we are unaware that it does. Just take a look at the models’ faces; they appear to be just as annoyed as we are that they must pose for this dreck!
Effortlessly Ace This Course
When they decided to become models, we’re pretty sure this wasn’t what they were anticipating. Oh, and it appears that the man sat there after the woman to his right.
The Word No Is So Confusing
He probably shouldn’t have consumed adult beverages at the club if he didn’t want his belongings to be stolen. What did he anticipate would occur while wearing such a fancy outfit? Why did he act as though he was playing a joke on her, flashing his pricey watch and all?
The Word No Is So Confusing
How was she to put up a fight? He seemed to want it. Yes, we are aware that he responded “no,” but given his recent libation, it’s possible that he is not even fully recalling his words. He wouldn’t have flaunted it if he didn’t really want her to take his belongings.
Maybe To You, Yes
We are aware of all the men who keep saying, “Not all men,” by the way! Nobody ever claimed it was exclusively men! Even though there are only a few men, it is difficult to identify which ones. Women should therefore use caution when interacting with all men.
Maybe To You, Yes
Consider it in this manner… Would you take a chance and eat a candy if someone offered you a bowl of sweets and warned that only 10 of the 100 were poisoned but didn’t know which ones?
Loves The Attention
Men who make this claim come agonizingly close to understanding it, but they fall short. Chad, what is that?
Loves The Attention
You wouldn’t find it flattering if a gay man twice your size made a flirtatious remark to you while you were just trying to finish your work, right? Why on earth do you suppose Molly from accounting would like it, then?
Poor Rob
Rob, I apologize, but you unintentionally revealed your own secret. Women don’t actually wake up with perfectly tousled hair and radiant skin, despite what you might think. Similar to how you don’t log onto social media to find rude comments already typed. It requires work.
Poor Rob
Oh, and the woman there is not catfishing. That’s a woman who lives in a culture where physical appearance is highly valued and who had something essential to say that couldn’t wait for her to put on makeup.
The Audacity
Poor men, they must fear being held responsible for their deeds. Women must be terrified for their very lives in the meantime. But those guys, we really feel for them. If only there was a way to avoid becoming a #MeToo.
The Audacity
If only the men who are complaining could take some action to protect themselves from being blamed for harassing women. They could simply try not to harass women and see how that goes, I suppose.
Different Perspectives
When it comes to matters involving gender politics, we frequently hear this narrative. Instead of “she was taken advantage of by her boss,” we are taught that “she slept her way to the top.”
Different Perspectives
Instead of “they were intimate, which caused pregnancy,” we hear “she got herself pregnant.” When it should read, “he thought her attire equated consent,” we are told that “she was asking for it.” ” Maybe it’s time to change the narrative?
Who’s More Emotional
Have you ever seen a guy get really upset before telling him to calm down? His expression of complete perplexity is just priceless! But in reality, women aren’t necessarily more sensitive than men.
Who’s More Emotional
Women and men can express their emotions in different ways, according to Dr. Catherine McKinley, because how each gender views emotional expression varies. Men and women experience the same intensity or gamut of emotions, though, so there is no discernible difference.
Doing My Own Thing
Why on earth would a woman prepare for class while considering what men want to see? She’s not there to put on a show; she’s there to further her education! The OP’s education can be sponsored by the class’s male students, who can then have her dress however they like.
Doing My Own Thing
Naturally, only if the OP is on board with this arrangement! The alternative is that she is spending far too much money and is too busy learning to be concerned about what Mike wants to see.
Almost Made Him Cry
We’re not sure why the person thought that was a good idea to say, but we’re glad the OP called him out on it! Really, it’s bad enough to make disgusting or creepy advances toward a woman, but he did it even while the OP was at work.
Almost Made Him Cry
A whole new level of vile is reached when you hit someone in a situation where they can’t escape. At least she had the courage to put him in his place; let’s hope she didn’t get in trouble.
Should’ve Known Better
“I remember some of ya girls were taken advantage of by 30-year-olds while you were in high school, are you okay?” Here, let us fix that for you. Alternatively, it could be something like, “I remember some of ya guys were messing with high school girls when you were 30 years old, I ain’t forget.”
Should’ve Known Better
That’s better, there. Even though we wouldn’t mind them either, we’d advise those men to find some women their own age.
Hire The Fans Instead
Ah yes, that uncomfortable situation where you have to hunt for food to survive but must first apply your makeup. Even though you might not have access to basic survival items in an apocalyptic world, you always have an endless supply of cosmetics at your disposal. Do you have to battle your foes?
Hire The Fans Instead
Wait, I need to reapply my lipstick first. Who cares about the gameplay, characters, graphics, or storylines? All that matters to this guy is whether or not he finds the animated lead attractive.
The Provider And Gold Digger
We’re confused, and we need somebody to explain this to us. Some men claim that they feel intimidated by women who are more intelligent, successful professionally, and earn more money than they do.
The Provider And Gold Digger
Then they boast about their ability to provide and how manly they are. But these same men refer to women as “gold diggers” in a derogatory manner rather than as a logical extension of the precedent they have established. What possible sense does that make?
Who’s The Man?
But really, if that’s what you want to do, what’s wrong with just dating one of your boys? However, avoid dating a woman and then making her feel inadequate because she isn’t a good enough guy for you.
Who’s The Man.
It goes without saying that neither men nor women have anything wrong with preferring more traditionally male or female items. Our issue is with guys who make their girlfriends feel foolish for enjoying particular feminine things. Man, just date one of your brothers!
Dog Filter
Seriously, why does this guy care about the photo filters that women prefer to use? Does it really have any impact on his life at all? Why doesn’t he just keep scrolling if he doesn’t like the filters instead of making this pitiful and blatant attempt to assert his superiority?
Dog Filter
Furthermore, it’s not like men don’t behave in odd ways that women blithely tolerate. What about cargo shorts? We rest our case, I guess.
Whose And Who’s
Well, it’s obvious that women who enjoy these things won’t choose to wed this man, and we’re okay with that! We’ll limit ourselves to the men who are literate in grammar. What matters to him is what unrelated women like?
Whose And Who’s
If he doesn’t enjoy those activities, he should simply find someone with whom he gets along better. However, there is no need to disparage anyone. We wish this guy luck in his search for love. Maybe at a Grammar for Dummies class he’ll run into the woman of his dreams?
Not Trying To Attract You Though
There are some who genuinely believe that telling a woman they don’t find her attractive is the biggest possible insult. Why do these men believe that every woman wants to be attracted to them?
Not Trying To Attract You Though
Like, it’s for the benefit of those guys every time a woman leaves the house. Even though we don’t support this woman’s rude behavior, we do accept her justification that it doesn’t matter whether the OP wants to have a sexual relationship with her.
Men Are Trash
Some people overestimate the threats of men to their little girls in an effort to protect women. We understand that it can be difficult to strike the right balance between warning someone and preventing them from becoming overly frightened.
Men Are Trash
While we don’t hold anyone accountable for occasionally missing the mark, we do believe they ought to show a little more compassion when women are perplexed by these contradictory messages. Instead of teaching women to be afraid of men, how about teaching men to not be toxic?
Keep Trying Vs. Leaving Her Alone
Only in Hollywood movies does the guy persistently pursue the girl despite her obvious lack of interest and succeed in winning her over. In the real world, that kind of conduct is poisonous, spooky, and might even get a guy arrested.
Keep Trying Vs. Leaving Her Alone
Since the child was young and obviously did not know better, we are not blaming him. The fact that no one has ever explained this to him before is what we find problematic. In the words of the OP, “teach your boys!”
You Know Nothing
No matter how sincere their motives, men will never comprehend what women go through. Women’s greatest fear is “being killed,” while men’s worst fear is that “women will laugh at them,” according to Mary Dickson.
You Know Nothing
All due respect to men, but these are two very different types of fears, and one is obviously worse than the other. We encourage men to remember this rather than passing judgment on or making fun of women, even though it’s sometimes understandable that they just don’t get it.
No Armor Needed
We also want to apply this reasoning to female superheroes. In fact, let’s carry this into the real world while we’re at it. Have you ever seen a club in the dead of winter? Some women manage to keep their short dresses on while outside in the chilly weather.
No Armor Needed
The men are presently dressed in long-sleeved shirts and pants. Chad, let’s watch you go out in a short dress in December and then dance for four hours in high heels!
Discovering Consent
It seems to us that this is the same kind of guy who feels personally attacked by the #MeToo movement and asserts that he is incapable of understanding the desires of women. He wants to make women feel bad for wanting to be considered attractive in some situations but expecting platonic treatment in others.
Discovering Consent
That is the exact meaning of consent! This is why feminism is still necessary because some men don’t even know what consent is, so how can they ask for it politely?
Comparing By Width
We can feel the heat from over here because that burn was so good! There is a significant difference between a woman’s bra strap showing and a man flaunting his package in public.
Comparing By Width
This guy’s belief that these two things are equivalent says a lot about the resources he has available to him. Do you know what “uncomfortable” means to us? The preoccupation of society with dictating what women should wear for the benefit of men.
There You Go
People believing that women exist for other people’s entertainment is already a problem in society. However, when it comes to celebrities, this problem persists particularly strongly. The tabloids feel compelled to report it whenever a female A-lister leaves the house without makeup, usually with the accompanying headline that she’s “let herself go.”
There You Go
Jack Black consistently appears as though he just rolled out of bed and no one bats an eye (which they shouldn’t, really), while Jennifer Garner receives criticism for getting coffee without appearing to be posing in Playboy.
