50 Times Sexists Tried To Explain Women But Ended Up Embarrassing Themselves (New Pics)
Being a woman is exhausting.
Not just because you have to think about your safety in ways others don’t, manage a 28-day hormonal cycle, or work twice as hard to climb the career ladder. But also because, somehow, women still have to listen to men confidently spewing nonsense about their bodies, experiences, and lives as if they’re the experts.
It happens so often that Reddit has an entire community—Not How Girls Work—dedicated to calling it out. Here, the most laughably wrong takes on women get the mockery they deserve, giving everyone a space to collectively cringe and commiserate.

Yep
I think this one is written from a woman's perspective. "Not a human, but a girl." Not a scientist, but a female scientist. Not a pro athlete, but a girl playing basketball. A subplot...yeah. I feel that.

As a relatively respectful bloke, I wanted to scream that "We don't do that, we don't think that, we don't say that." But apparently some blokes do. I'd love to think it's the minority, I'd love to think it's only because they are young, and will learn. I feel incredibly naive. It's mind blowing. Heart breaking.
This is shockingly depressing. Actually, it's not shocking at all, but it is VERY depressing. And it really pisses me off, and right before bed too. Dammit.
I knew it would be rough so I saved a wholesome post to read afterwards. I shouldn't read these really, I dislike men enough as it is. Sadly I'm a straight woman so single I will always be
Load More Replies...When my daughter came out as a lesbian my reflexive thought was "oh thank god." Men like this are why.
Im bi and after seeing this post im just going to be lesbian.
Load More Replies...internet really gives the anonymous weirdos a voice and its scary when they speak their mind...
Right? I'm all for expression of opinion but I am now more certain than ever that the internet needs some form of policing. This is VILE.
Load More Replies...Yes. your post about how 'white culture' is being eroded and that 'white' stories' should remain 'white' was a real eye-opener.
Freaking sickos I'm a man wtf happened to common decency I would never do any of this c**p to any woman I know or don't know. Some of these guys just need a punch in the face no warning just bam u know why. Freaking inceles need the Darwin award already
I won't go for the face personnally, I'd think about a point much lower in or der to be sure they can never reproduce.
Load More Replies...This is why I'm single. I just don't want to wade through this swamp trying to find an honest to god good man who sees me as a human being. I don't understand why it is so hard to see half the population as fellow human beings. (Before you start, I know not all men, but it is sad just how many)
I've always said that if hubs goes first, I'm not going thru it all again....and this post (like many I've seen), reiterates my thoughts.
Load More Replies...Me too, but I am already 50, so I get invisible already ( good luck) and can enjoy my nights out and hobbies in peace. As young girl, you can't avoid this swamp,cause it's keep strolling at your feets anytime you are out Why are you single? Why did you dress nice,if you don't want me? No wonder you are single,look how you dress...... young girls have to be young and rough to keep their feets dry from this
This is NOT why I'm single. It is, though, reason enough to be happy I haven't set any child into this world to deal with the fallout of this c**p. It's bad enough I'm not old enough to die soon...
Or sons.. Imagine finding out your own child is an idiot like that - the feeling of desolation, shame and questioning what went wrong would probably be worse than having to teach my daughter some advanced form of self-defense.
BP, you really need to correct your title and commentary... Those aren't "embarrassing moments" for the men pictured. A big hunk of what you posted are actual rape threats. Others are misogynistic attempts at women's freedom, not to mention dignity. While all are signs of serious stupidity and lack of understanding, they're not light-hearted or funny posts about men being silly. They are examples of actual abuse happening online and offline. PS. If you want to post things like that, you need some serious content warnings. Many abuse survivors might've gotten tricked into thinking they'll read some funny, silly stuff, when in reality they got retraumatized by descriptions of sexual and other violence.
F*****g idiots! These are just a few of the many reasons why sex ed and consent needs to be mandatory and none of this religious exemption b******t either. Also multiple time thru-out all years of school not just once.
Well, that’s a depressing read. It doesn’t boost my faith in how, as a society, we are raising our young.
I also hear people from my country talking nonsense about gender all the time ... but eggshells in the egg cells? You could almost think that boys and girls don't learn about the respective genders together at school. (We didn't usually have that much nervous teenage giggling in class, but it worked).
The internet is a California dumpster fire spreading everywhere for these morons. They get in their stupid little groups and suddenly are all posting women's discharge and thinking every woman in the world is cheating on them hating even more and spreading more ignorance. It's so disturbing. Someone needs to go undercover and find out what these ignorant twits say in private if they think this is appropriate public information
Once again, there needs to be sex education in schools. So much ignorance about basic human anatomy.
One of my D&D party members is a pretty hardcore Christian. He’s polite and doesn’t typically express harmful opinions, and while I’m pretty sure he’s not homophobic he is a creationist and against abortion. We mostly avoid political/religious talk but sometimes it’s uncomfortable.
Personally, I think anyone can be against abortion. As long as they don't go out and be violent or hateful towards those who think differently, I'm fine with people disagreeing with my views. Nobody needs them to be happy about it!
On behave of men i apologize for these versions. Most of us arent like that. But to be fair, similar threads could be made a few idiotic women. Toxic persons seems to be in any shape, form and gender. Let us just be gratefull that most try to use common sense, and at least in my case my mother would woop my 43 year old @@ back to kindergarten.
