50 Innocuous Things About Being A Woman That Had To Be Pointed Out To Men

Interview

ADVERTISEMENT

It has been said a long time ago, and most people realize, that men are from Mars and women are from Venus. There are plenty of differences, both psychological and physical, between us. In order to understand each other, it's important to have an open conversation about some topics we may not have a clue about. However, these days, when everything is easily accessible and we can get an instant answer to pretty much any question we can possibly think of close at hand, some lack of basic information about the opposite sex may turn out to be ignorance.

We have collected an impressive list of stories shared online by women to shed light on many common experiences shared by women, sometimes on a daily basis, that men often find abstract. Let's spread awareness and gain some common knowledge about 'the female kind'!

Precisely the reason that periods hurt.

The uterus is designed to hold a 6-10 lb baby for 'months'. Not unlike a school backpack carrying 6-10 subject matter books.

Like a backpack, there are 'straps' where you secure the bag - or uterus - to the body holding it. Except that a Uterus has more than two straps. All of the straps are attached physically to all of its surroundings and when the uterus wants to 'shed' it squeezes in on itself to massage loose it's internal lining. But, when the uterus squeezes in, all of those 'straps' are also pulled in / pulled on, pulling other parts of the body nearby in with it. Like if someone grabs your back pack and pulls on it, it yanks back both of your arms. Though, in this case, more than two attachments.

50 Innocuous Things About Being A Woman That Had To Be Pointed Out To Men Just because a woman is nice to you, it doesn’t mean she’s flirting with/interested you. Literally the most basic thing humans can do is be kind to others and make them feel interesting, important, good about themselves.. but men commonly take this the wrong way and interpret it as being flirtatious or that it means we’re interested in something more. Like no dude, it’s just basic human decency, calm your tits.

We reached out to Akshara Ashok, the illustrator from India. The artist is the author of the unique series “Happy Fluffy Comics”. In her work, Ashok highlights the common struggles and challenges faced by women in their daily lives. Through her funny comics, the artist aims to break taboos and challenge stereotypes surrounding women and their experiences. To find out more about Akshara, you can click here, here, or here and see Bored Panda posts featuring her work.

We wanted to find out about Akshara’s journey as an illustrator. In order to do that, we asked the artist how she discovered her passion for creating art that focuses on women's experiences. Ashok shared with us: “I have always loved art since childhood. However, I started illustrating on social media in my second year of college. I used my comics as an outlet for my thoughts and I saw that many other women resonated with the messaging. I had so many questions about the way we are treated in society. We, as women, are expected to grow up much faster than men. Even our prepubescent bodies are sexualized in schools as they ask us to cover up because it would ‘affect’ the boys. I found this really unfair and disgusting. Since childhood, we are made to feel a lot of shame and guilt for looking or living a certain way. I wanted to break these taboos and tell women that they can be who they want to be and there’s no shame in that.”

here's a tip if you want to compliment someone, compliment something they can *control*. ex: "oh I love your jacket!" "your hair looks amazing!" "your shoes are awesome!" rather than things they can't control, like their body or face

Ken Beattie 1 year ago (edited)

I'd assume try to understand their response too. I don't think complimenting someone is bad, as the post says it's unwanted compliments. So whether you're saying "you're looking pretty", "I love that jacket" or "your made a great point in that meeting" you need to see how they take it and respond accordingly. If they're not obviously happy with the compliment don't double down and continue!

Tbh, I'm fine if someone compliments something physical about me like "Hey, you have nice eyes," or "I like your freckles." As long as you're not being weird or gross about it 🤷‍♀️ It's the people (I've had this happen with both men & women) who are intense or creepy about it, or who think that if you politely say "thank you," it's an invitation to keep at it or get in your personal space. Don't do this.

You getting a boner when looking at woman or girl does NOT MEAN SHE IS TRYING TO DO THAT TO YOU. Even if she is dressed up looking nice. . she is probably trying to impress her friends or a very specific boy or man and NOT YOU.

Just because you feel something when looking at a woman does not mean that she is trying to make you feel that way.

So many men just do not get this. They think everything is about them .. everything women do is so deliberate and targeted specifically to them. Oh she wore those short shorts, she knows what she is doing. Especially vomitrocious when it's a very young girl just trying to get some pimply boy in her class to talk to her and a grown man who is a complete stranger takes it as an invitation like "oh yeah she wants to do this to me. . she loves me looking at her like this."

See also: men since the beginning of time demanding that women smile on command because "it looks good to ME" -- they are unable to imagine a woman existing for any other purpose than to be entertaining and attractive to me me me me me who is the center of the universe.

Asked which aspects of women's lives and stories the artist finds most inspiring to illustrate, Akshara answered: “Everything. Starting from something as small as how our clothes fit to the misogyny we face every day. If you look closely, even things that are considered small aren’t really that insignificant, we’re just told to brush them aside. Now I’m focusing more on body positivity and sexuality. We are expected to fit into an unattainable beauty standard which is almost ridiculous and once women try and to do that, they’re still ridiculed for not being natural enough. So there’s really no way to win this. I’d like to remind women to love their bodies a little more every day for the way it looks.”

Women's experiences can be multifaceted and complex. We were curious how Ashok ensures that her artwork captures the depth and nuances of these experiences. We found out that: “I try to make it really simple. I use simple language and illustrations to capture the eye. On top of that, I use humor that makes you think. Most of my funny comics show that our ‘quirky struggles’ are actually the result of patriarchy and that we don’t need to be perfect all the time. I also try my best to use inclusive language and illustrations to make sure people don’t feel left out or get offended. Most of my comics are lived experiences from my life or what I see around me which makes it much more personal. I’m someone who struggles with mental health issues and self-love. This helps me empathize with others and makes my art easily relatable. This also allows women to come forward to share their experiences without the fear of being judged.”

There’s no pockets. Yeah, I know it looks like a pocket, it’s not.

Ok yes this one DOES have a pocket, that can fit exactly three quarters OR one chapstick, and even those aren’t guaranteed not to fall out if I bend over, switch between standing/sitting, remove/adjust the clothing to use the washroom, or just *walk.*

As an illustrator, Akshara’s work may also be influential in shaping perceptions and attitudes. We wanted to find out what positive changes the artist hopes to inspire through your illustrations of women's stories. The comic artist said: “I don’t want to attack anyone for their perception, it’s just something we’re taught since childhood, that women are inferior and the weaker sex. Instead, I want to help everyone understand how untrue that is and that we can change the way we think. That’s why I use humor and cute little illustrations. It makes the subject simple and friendly instead of being too preachy. It’s hard to break out of these norms created by society overnight because we’re so used to them. All we can do is change one step at a time.”

Lastly, Ashok shared more about the motivation for creating her art: “I want to initiate healthy conversations about our bodies and sexuality which is still looked down upon in 2023. Women are still being called names just for existing. A lot of people push this toxic positivity onto people where one’s expected to be happy and love themselves all the time. But we don’t live in a perfect world and the amount of pressure we face to be perfect is just too much. I understand how hard it can be to love ourselves for the way we look when the media is constantly pushing these beauty standards onto us. Self-love is a very slow process and it’s very hard to attain. I think influencers need to be mindful of that as well as mental health issues. Most of us cannot wake up and choose to be happy. It’s almost a privilege. I want to tell people that we deserve to be happy regardless of the way we look, we are much more than that. We don’t have to be at our best all the time. It’s okay to have bad days. We’re human after all. I know that I can’t change the way the world sees us but I would like to try to change the way we see ourselves.”

Why we need a trashcan next to the toilet. Our condo has a door separating the toilet and shower from the sinks, and he moved the trashcan under the sink, instead of next to the toilet, where it was.

I agree with some commenters that you can fairly easily roll up a pad or even a tampon to dispose of them elsewhere in the home, but if you are ever going to have menstruating guests, get a can with a lid by the toilet. Saves people a LOT of embarrassment.

Normal, everyday things like using a public restroom, or showering, take us longer and are more difficult due to a complex system of "little things" that just never work out in our favor - that even we don't notice until we're middle-aged.

Public bathroom stalls are so tiny, it's hard for us to move around with our phones or keys in our hands the whole time, or our purses, or children.

(...and why would I be holding my phone in one hand, and my keys in the other hand, the whole time while using the toilet? Because I don't have any pockets! ...and why don't I use a purse? Because they hurt and are uncomfortable and neck straps burn my shoulders, are easy to set down and lose, and I also just don't want to! And it shouldn't matter!)

Showering is ridiculous because we have large shampoo bottles (or whatever hair products) that fall on the ground every time we move...When we wash long hair, it flings around water, and our elbows knock things off of shelves.

...why are there no big ledges in showers? After 100+ years of people using showers, there's still no ledge big enough to hold bottles in most showers?? Beats me!

Why are there no places to sit down in the shower for leg shaving? Why do I have to contort my body like a flamingo with one leg propped up on a faucet or a ledge trying not to slip or drop my razor on the ground and break it...in order to shave my legs?

Why are faucets and shower hardware, doors, glass walls and doors SO difficult to clean...why is it even possible to design a tub so deep, that you HAVE to slide down the ledge to get all the way inside of it just to clean 1 spot on a wall.

Why are sink faucets so close to the the wall that you can't fit a paper towel or a sponge back there to clean?

Why, whenever I talk about these things I get called a "raging feminist" and laughed at.

I think this is not exactly a thing only men do but I've encountered a lot of men who really believe the stereotypes/cliches of "how a woman acts or thinks" and that is like a "rule" that cannot change.

They'll say "a woman likes this" or "a woman always does that" and when I tell them is not true, they don't believe me or think I'm "not like the other girls". Then I have to start educating them in that yes, I'm like the other girls because we as humans are really complex and we can all like different things and we do not share a brain.

That (at least for me and my friends) parents treat you different just because you're a woman. Less freedom, less independence, and its really all because of men and the dangers they raise to us. Its f*****g unfair. My boyfriend is always saying "ur parents didnt let you do x alone?" And they treat me totally different from my brother.

Had to explain my bf a few times that if we are wrestling and I say stop and he doesn’t because I say it laughing that it’s a horrible feeling. I learned I was laughing because of nerves or I don’t know why, a reflex. And he learned that if I said stop, even if I laugh, he has to stop bc I’m not joking. If he doesn’t stop, he triggers something bc I’m not as strong as he is and I get scared/cry. Thank god he learned.

50 Innocuous Things About Being A Woman That Had To Be Pointed Out To Men Periods aren’t actually monthly, as in January, February, March. They can be, but often that’s just coincidence. You can have two periods in one month and you can have no periods in one month.

Also, we don't bleed in a continuous stream all day. Some guys think we just sit there hemorrhaging.

50 Innocuous Things About Being A Woman That Had To Be Pointed Out To Men That foreplay has a very real purpose & real sex is nothing like p*rn. The last guy I dated, I tried explaining to him that going straight for the hole is counter-productive to genuinely good sex. One night, I made him slow down, just lay on the couch, cuddling & touching me, not even in a fully sexual way. Afterwards, he said "wow, I had no idea what a difference that makes! It really felt totally different!" I was like "this is what I've been trying to freaking tell you!!!" He admitted that he learned sex from p*rn & no one ever tried to give him any direction before. Wasn't even aware just how many positions you could get yourself into either. He's almost 40. Eta: he also won't leave me alone now even though I broke up with him over a month ago.

As a lesbian … men (and heck even sometimes other women) love to think we exist to get men off. As opposed to just you know… existing.

Have a dear friend whose fiancé would sometimes joke about being able to watch or join two women during sex (and this guy knows I’m a lesbian). The way I’m wording it makes it sound so terrible but the joke was more mild/less intentionally weird, I just can’t remember the exact phrasing rn. My friend - who is bi herself - didn’t even realize how uncomfortable those jokes were until I pointed it out to her. She talked to him about it and he realized why it was weird and apologized, and it’s never happened again. All is good now but. So many act like women exist to please men and obv two women must be ok with a man anywhere near them during intimacy. And that a relationship between two women is somehow not as legit or real than one between a man and a woman.

Edit: Had an ex gf who wanted to open our relationship which I agreed to, as long as he (the guy she was into) didn’t expect or have anything to do with me. Immediately he tried to get me to be into him and even said “You sure you don’t like guys? Even a little?” That relationship ended for a number of reasons, and I’ve since figured out polyamory isn’t my thing. But also the fact that he just ignored what I said about my sexuality and tried to convince me that I’m not exclusively into girls disgusts me to this day

The side effects of female birth control pills. I tried (and took 2/3 courses) once to avoid getting my period on holiday, ended up having severe nausea, headaches and diarrhoea. Also had an enhanced sense of smell and went out in the fresh air with a group of people; I smelled every single person’s deodorant and perfume mixed into one, further triggering the nausea. My holiday was also ruined as I was vomiting constantly and even began projectile vomming into bins AT THE AIRPORT BEFORE WE EVEN SET OFF. So having my period is an uncomfortable sacrifice I will have to make because there is no way I am doing that again.

There is nothing worse than one birthday where I wore pumps to be beautiful. Then I was asked to join a walk. It went a bit uphill and downhill over grass and streets. My feet hurt. Now my bf knows that it's a struggle between looking good and being flexible for sporty activity.

Went to a cousin's wedding recently. No one mentioned that the ceremony was in a wooded area at the opposite corner of the property from the parking and reception, down a muddy grass hill. Don't know how I'm going to get the mud out of my almost brand-new heels. I'm still ticked about it.

That we have to use conditioner on our hair otherwise it is almost impossible to brush and feeling horrible. It IS a necessity when it comes to washing hair.

Hi, I'm Egle! If you made it onto this page, you may want to learn more about me. Would recommend reading works by Edgar Allan Poe much more than reading this bio, but suit yourself. I have plentiful interests, starting from the things I studied in university (Propaganda & Film, Sci-fi Writing, Psychiatry & History of Mental Illness, etc.) and ending with an addiction to tattoos, documentaries, and dancing in front of a mirror at 3am. I'm also a budding artist; I dabble in painting and drawing random bits of chaos. My favorite desert is Tiramisu.

I'm so tired of hubby trying to feel me up and telling him no and his response every time....EVERY. TIME. Is Why? Because I don't have to if I don't want to. No is a complete sentence!!! Ugh!

My ex constantly wanted sex. Like, daily - twice if he could, even after 12 years. I told him repeatedly that I did not find it sexy when he came up behind me (usually while I was cooking or doing dishes) and started fondling my breasts or rubbing his hands between my legs. It did the exact opposite. REPEATEDLY. It got to the point where I just considered him a f*cking pig and I told him so. I told him he had turned what was once a pleasurable act into a dreaded chore. We got into a fight and he pulled his usual "You don't love me anymore" card. I stopped cold and said, "You know what Mike? You're absolutely right. I DON'T love you anymore." We split up a few months later.

Hey Stardust, I see you've posted about this a few times now, sounds like it is really bugging you. Do you have someone you can talk about this with? I hope you do, it sounds like his "flirting" might be crossing some boundaries and that is something to take seriously. Good luck <3

That EVERYTIME I stand up, sit down, walk by, some male has to touch my a$$! It's MY A$$ you twit! Not yours! If you want to touch a$$, then touch your own! And when we're walking around some public place, DO NOT put your hand down the back of and inside my pants! Makes me feel incredibly uncomfortable.

Hello Lucille 2, I see we have one thing in common. Yes, I am a Christian and found out as a child that Jesus (the) Christ is real and definitely still alive. It may surprise you, but I learned a long time ago not to judge. I was judged as a child for the way an aunt (deceased now) felt about my mother (my father's first wife and also deceased now). It sounds like you may have had better teachers in the sexual education department than I ever did.

Idk if “innocuous” in the page title really fits as a descriptor when considering the list as a whole. Undermines some of the significance behind some that are actually quite dangerous
