Just call him a dickhead.

Also, listen to "Female murderers" at Parcast Podcast. In the intro they tell us "picture a murderer, a thief- did you picture a woman?". Interesting, how perception is at work.

If I think of the top five smartest people I know (multiple doctorates etc), two are men and three are women, so yes.

In my opinion, a good sex life is essential for a strong relationship. And, in order for both parties to enjoy it, they need to communicate with each other. Saying that, I understand that this would probably not apply to asexuals.

whaaaaat? most people are only interesting after 30 and IMHO most women remain attractive well into their 50s. I'm late 40s and I look absolutely awful, people guess me to be a senior.

Just before the pandemic, I was at a dinner where there were six older women. Three had natural gray hair and three dyed, and of those who dyed, only one had chosen to maintain her original color. It's a totally free choice at this point.

yes......hair is not unhygienic....unless a doc tells me so.....n this is not sarcasm ///

Both my sister and I would get nasty ingrown hairs whenever we shaved. She got electrolysis. I stopped shaving. Nobody cares except for us.

I think it just comes down to personal preference. Wanna shave because you like the look? Do it! You don't want to because you don't care, too much of a hassle, whatever else? Go for it! No one should be shamed for choosing to shave or choosing not to shave.

I tried shaving my legs once and I have decided never to do it again, i like the fuz

Tell that to my younger self. I was bullied so much in high school over my leg hair that I got permission to do sports in long pants (my mom said I was too young to shave). Up to this day I shave my legs, am 55 now. I wish I could just leave it. Kudos for women who don't shave!

Men dont need it either

I just don't like hair on myself so I shave. I don't care what other people do

The only thing I shave because I need to is my pits. I sweat excessively, and I need my heavy duty deodorant to do its job well.

For me, I guess I feel like since I've been doing it for so long, when I let it grow, it feels super weird when it moves when I walk or outside in the breeze. It's just... weird lol but I hate shaving my legs and it's not even the act of it. I love the feeling after, it's the feeling of *having* to do it. The judgements that come with not. I hate the whole situation. Why can't I do it if I want sometimes and not others? I get busy or depressed and don't want to a lot

Yes it is. And it is also perfectly acceptable for people not to like it.

Sorry but as a woman I think it is horrible. Yes every woman should do as she pleases but I personally I like my legs shaved and my armpits.

It's nasty is what it is

I wish people would stop harassing unwed and childless women.

There's nothing wrong with being "basic." You can stick out from the crowd and be awesome or blend in with the crowd and be awesome. Your worth is not dependent on your uniqueness. We're human, not collector's items.

It's unavoidable

Women are always in competition with each other. Men are always in competition with each other. We all compete all the time. Whether it is in work, in relationships, or within family. It can be as destructive as it is beneficial, but we still do it.

If you think you're not like other girls, that's because you haven't met enough of them yet. Expand your horizon. Meet more people. Be honest. Be vulnerable. You have more in common with other girls than you think, and there's nothing wrong with that.

yep i hate it on myself as well, as a guy. I have no idea why the double standards though, or who decided that hairless is the female standard.

Instead of looking down on women (and others) who like makeup, or on those who don't, we should all recognize that it should be a choice freely made and forcing people in either direction is bad. We don't all have to look the same or present ourselves the same.

Thank you. It is years since I read this quote and I'd forgotten who said it.

S**t shaming is ridiculous because men are not censured for the same activities, indeed they are praised.

Actually it's called just being decent. The fact is, many men don't bother to do this, so actually the general practice SHOULD be to be decent to others. I've had to learn this the hard way.

And if you are someone who would be healthier at a different weight, low self esteem is not the way to get there.

No matter your gender, try to be diplomatic, if you can. But sure, you shouldn't hide your opinion, even if it pisses somebody.

The girl in this picture is SO cute!!!!

Ah yes, the 90's. When we still thought women should either serve as an aesthetic or the target of insulting jokes.

Ha YES!! Like a man telling me that "xyz" isn't attractive... ah so what?? Like makeup, or some item of clothing. Eewww what makes them think I want to be attractive to them?

This!

Betty White famously said: Why do people say "grow some balls"? Balls are weak and sensitive. If you wanna be tough, grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding.

This one is tricky because refering to 20 or 30yo as "a woman" sounds like they are much older (or at least for my spanish brain were señora means older age). We really need to resurrect gal as an opposite to guy

I dunno, it seems like a perfectly legitimate cause for someone to want out of a relationship. If I'm only okay with having sex once a month but my partner wants sex every 3 days then our sex drives are not compatible. There's no shame in ending a relationship for that reason.

This one is heavily ingrained in women and I've tried with all my partners to ask them to not do it. As soon as guests are coming over, whooooosh the house gets a whirlwind clean. I mean really? They're my friends. They're much bigger slobs. They really won't see, know, or care.

Disrespecting "feminine" interests isn't good for anyone. Women are seen as silly when they pursue their "girly" interests and as fake when they are into other interests. ("Fake geek girl," for example.) And men are excluded from the "girly" interests for no reason.

Yep. I have actually had to consciously unlearn this one too - particularly when I am talking to my daughter. I try not to use the word 'nice'. She doesn't have a obligation to be nice to anyone. I tell her to be kind and/or respectful, but never nice.

As a resident of England, I hereby apologise for our continuing apologies.

I wish someone would tell the incels this so they can get over it as well.

One time I apologized because my sister pointed out that I looked really shaky, and then she gave me a weird look and I realized it was stupid to apologize and wondered why I did in the first place

My dad thinks I'm lying about not wanting/liking kids because I like to babysit my baby cousin. I mean, dude, I like watching her because I don't have to do it everyday, I'd be an awful parent if I had to do it everyday

You have no idea how often this one bites people in the a$$, medically speaking.

I hope it also wasn't your job to babysit or raise you younger siblings. Sadly, lots and lots of eldest girls are stuck with that s**t, and very few eldest boys.

One hundred percent THIS. I'd like to rest too, I hate being expected to help with cooking and dishes while the guys (brothers and husbands) don't!

Some of us make a conscious decision that having a perfect body is more trouble than it's worth, and some of us make a decision that it's worth any amount of trouble! Now if only the two sides would stop looking down on each other...

Again we're back on the clothing thing, but I must say it's definitely swung in favour of women at the moment. Try be a woman and wear a suit. You might get some sexist remarks that you are trying to be macho or dominating. Try be a man and wear a dress/skirt. If you don't get beaten up you will certainly be insulted. I get insulted for merely wearining non-blue clothing. Literally. Maybe this is a side-effect of living in Africa. We had a case where one guy publicly announced that he'd beat a woman who was wearing pants... but he was a rural guy. In cities, women wear pants all the time. I've only ever seen a man in a skirt at a scottish parade.

they just enjoy their sex life (wrote sex live at first and realized that's a whole different topic)
