Acting like a "lady", smiling at strangers while walking down the street, looking like you just stepped out of a magazine cover — these are just a few things society assumes women want to do every day. Of course, it would be wrong to say that expectations for women haven’t changed in recent years. They certainly have, and for the better. But there’s still plenty of room for improvement.
Rubbergloves44 asked women of Reddit to share some of the outdated things they are expected to live up to, and they delivered. More than a thousand comments flooded the thread with subtle and not-so-subtle ways people set ridiculous presumptions about female behavior.
Whether it’s believing all women want children or need to be devoted to their lousy husbands, Bored Panda has selected some of the best answers from the thread. Upvote our favorites as you go, and let us know in the comments the outdated beliefs you personally think need to change right away.

Policing the way women dress instead of policing the way men react to it

Automatically assuming all women enjoy, want and will have children.

Being docile and passive. We’re expected to take so much c**p on a daily basis without complaining. Sexual harassment? it’s just a compliment. Sexual assault? you had it coming. do you really want to ruin his life? Periods or any type of pain/illness? it’s not that bad. The amount of mental labor we’re expected to do is exhausting, but we have to do it or nothing would get done. And then men get offended and call us names when we assert ourselves or express any emotion other than happiness. Our boundaries are constantly trampled and we’re supposed to just take it with a smile. It’s so frustrating!

I'm happily single for years and don't want to be in a relationship. I don't get why people assume that single women aren't as happy as the ones in a relationship, when it was proven that single women are the happiest population out there.

That doctors STILL do not provide adequate health care for us. And the fact that we still don't have autonomy of our bodies (in the US)
Swan 2 years ago
in the us or anywhere else ; trans surgery = rejected you don't dispose of YOUR body ; breast removal surgery (for example to prevent cancer(or any other reason (confort etc...)) = rejected you don't dispose of YOUR body ; trying to get a tattoo = are you sure, you'll regret it ; plastic surgery = you don't need it ; uterus removal (like to stop periods and period pain) = rejected you don't dispose of YOUR body --- [for now (and certainly for ever ): I 'am' a woman so I'm not sure if it's a woman only thing or doctors and surgeons just don't listen to anyone]

That we shouldn’t show anger. Men always talk about how hard it is that when they cry, they’re called a pussy or something like that. I agree that that is a valid issue and I wish it weren’t that way, but I also wish that women could express anger without getting called a b***h or being called irrational. We get asked if we’re menstruating, we get told we’re overreacting. Just once I’d like to feel free to be angry.

Ugh, I live in the Southern US & the whole “wife must fix husbands dinner plate before hers or the children’s” is strong here. I get in debates all the time about this—it agitates me to no end. I don’t know why. It just comes off very misogynistic.
The reasoning I’ve heard from people I know is that “if your husband works hard then he should not have to fix his own food when he comes home” as if women don’t also work hard & almost always have to pull the second shift if kids are involved. I don’t understand why it’s such a debate. If it matters who eats first, then it should be the kids. If there’s no kids, then who cares? Both spouses can make their own plate or one (either one) can make both plates. I’m not a housewife or a waitress for my husband. We are equals, we both work & gender roles are outdated as hell.

The concept of virginity.

That they need to wear makeup to look presentable — think a professional setting, a lot of people have the notion that it is lazy for a woman to not have ANY makeup on.
Now I wear makeup sometimes and sometimes I don’t, I just think it’s an outdated expecting that half of the population has never had.

This is just because people (read men) who write these rules have no idea what makeup is. You can have your whole face covered in ´naked´ style and they will say ´ You see how good you look without all those colors on!´

Giving birth. It is the second most terrifying and painful thing a person can go through, the first is burning alive. The industry is great at hiding the many difficulties of pregnancy just to further the human race. You can permanently lose grey matter in your brain, weaken your bladder, develop allergies?? during and after pregnancy. Don't even get me started on the labour itself- i have no idea why any informed woman would want that. just google 4th degree tears and you'll be put off for life

I HAVE been burnt alive , and I would give birth if I could, I most likely can't (related to the burn thing) but if women are not ready to go through giving life to have a baby they can adopt; I understand women are also ready to go through this it's their choice how about the maximum informations about it and then they make their choice?

How about needing my husbands "permission" to get my tubes tied after my first child. I s**t you not. My doctor said I had to get him to sign a form agreeing to the procedure before they would do it because I guess it was his body too. HA. I said "no problem, doc. He's waiting in the car for me." I went down the elevator and when I got back the form was signed and I had the procedure. Hubs was at home at the time.

Keith Mitchem 2 years ago
Unfortunately men can't do anything about this. We cannot give birth to keep the human species alive. Many of us would take that burden from the women we love if we could, but we can't. All we can do is be a supportive as possible. You also insult women who are happy to go through labor in order to bring their little angel into the world. Not all people are all the same. My stepmom had no regrets and she went through labor 4 times. Only getting an epidural once. I asked her directly.
Got Myself 4 Pandas 2 years ago
I've done this 4 times, I very much doubt it's anywhere near to being burned alive - yeah it hurts like b'jesus but it's not constant so you get breaks between contractions. Maybe I'm lucky that it wasn't too bad - don't get my wrong, it's taken it's toll, my body has been through a lot of trauma, it's changed and not for the better, I'll never be who I was before kids - I've accepted this. My kids were worth it. I agree that it should be better understood how difficult pregnancy is and how dangerous it can be - too many people think it's easy - it really isn't.

Thank god it's not systematically as traumatic as described here... and I've been through this twice, first one C-section, 2nd time vaginal birth without epidural - yet it's still one of the best memories of my life (despite the pain and all).
Jo Choto 2 years ago
People who are able to give birth do so because of a circumstance of birth. There is no other way to bring humans into the world, except for someone, somewhere to give birth to them. It's nobody's fault. And now we are making bigger and bigger babies, with bigger and bigger heads and our bodies have not been able to evolve quickly enough to cope.
Got Myself 4 Pandas 2 years ago
My kids were big, but got smaller each time. My first was 10lbs10 - and not everyone would've been able to birth a baby so big - I'm lucky I could. Even at that my smallest was my 4th at 8lbs3 - still bigger than average. Because my first was so big I was monitored closely by my midwives to keep track of size and induced me before my due date if needed. But yeah, women are the only way to have children, there's no other way and we can't escape nature. I didn't need to have kids, it was a choice, did I fully understand the impact it could have on my body? Hell no, but since I did it 3 more times I must've decided that it was worth it

People have a very different values toward family. We had problems with infertility. It was no issue for us to switch to adoption and I'd never change it for the world. There were women in an infertility group that felt like "failures" since they needed invitro to give birth. One woman had two kids and didn't feel like a "woman" due to needing help. We let that group go, but it stuck in my mind how different people think about family. Sorry if it's off topic.

The second time around, after 10 hours of labor, the nurse came in and was going to "Just break your water," before I had the epidural, "To speed up the process..." I told her if she valued her f*****g life that she'd better not... Then asked the doctor to remove her from my room.

Yvonne Dauwalder Balsiger 2 years ago
As someone who has given birth twice: The thing about pregnancy and giving birth is that it can be everything from relatively easy to a life-threatening, life changing catastrophe, all outcomes are possible (I would know because I had one easy giving birth and one rather bad, but not that bad.) Even if giving birth goes easy-peasy, it will still be a bloody, painful hassle with interludes of total boredom. No need to panic but inform yourself and don't get to attached to your birthing plan. If you are financially able, get your butt to a doctor you trust and like, go there regularly during your pregnancy, give birth in a decent hospital (and take all the drugs they are willing to give you). Cut every bastard out of your life who gives you s**t about how you are supposed to give birth, breastfeed or just feel about your baby / new role as a mom. Kids are sometimes great, but definitely not all the time. Sometimes they are just a job you have to do.
J H 2 years ago
Some birth stories can be really traumatic, it's true. But compared to being burned alive...? That's more about the mindset and medical experience of the person going into labor and thru birth than the process itself. It's really unfortunate how people only talk about the negative aspects of birth, and then those who do have good experiences or "easier" pregnancies or labor are told they didn't have a "real birth" or "real pregnancy". Not all births are traumatic or bad. Point blank period.
