Women Are Sharing Specific Behaviors That They’re Tired Of Seeing Men Do (50 Answers)

Women's fight for equal rights has achieved great success, but it's still far from over. Globally, women still have only 3/4 of the rights that men have. And while some countries are focusing on implementing new reforms, others seem to be set on reducing women's bodily autonomy. One thing is clear: being born a woman puts you at a disadvantage.

While some women experience it less than others, it's still a devastating reality. And clueless or ignorant men don't help. One Reddit user wanted to learn what women wish men would stop doing, and people were eager to share advice on how men can be better.

Almost 5k replies later, Bored Panda selected the best answers on men's behavior that bothers women the most. From enormous egos to bad communication, scroll down to upvote the answers that resonate with you the most, and feel free to share any advice that we missed!

EXACTLY! Most men making these laws don't even understand how taxing and DANGEROUS a "normal" pregnancy is, let alone all the innumerable restrictions and potential complications that come with it. But sure, women are just lazy, selfish strumpets.

Women Are Sharing Specific Behaviors That They're Tired Of Seeing Men Do (50 Answers) If a woman tells you she's a lesbian when you're flirting, it means one of two things:

- 1: She is a lesbian.

- 2: She is pretending to be a lesbian so you'll stop flirting with her.

Either way, you should stop flirting.

Women Are Sharing Specific Behaviors That They're Tired Of Seeing Men Do (50 Answers) Following women when they’re walking. I’ve been followed by cars, followed by men yelling at me, had dead silent men follow me to work and then stand outside, follow my friends to a bar we’re walking to, etc. It isn’t all men, sure. But most women have been followed. I don’t know why they do it, to feel powerful I guess? To instill fear that they know where I work or what bus I take?

Edit: every dude in my replies arguing about how they sometimes are behind a woman and what are they supposed to do, just know that if you’re not being creepy it isn’t an issue. That’s not what I’m talking about. In this context followed vs walked behind are 2 VERY different things. If you’re simply walking behind a woman who appears freaked out it’s probably because she has been antagonistically followed or verbally or even physically harassed/threatened/harmed. As long as you aren’t being creepy, you’re good.

If you’re worried that you appear like you’re following her, my advice would be to call someone and chat (like a couple people recommended in my replies), this makes it so it’s obvious she isn’t a target of yours or even on your mind, you’re busy going about your life. OR either slow down or speed up and pass her. Don’t match her pace so that she sees you keeping stride in the corner of her eye, that’s so scary. And lastly, have some sympathy. Women don’t act afraid with the intention of insulting you, they act afraid out of protection of themselves.

1. The disgusting s**t that’s said about women in the boys’ group chat
2. Exchanging pictures (screenshots or non consensual nudes) of women you aim to “conquer” in the group chats
3. The entire culture of “south east Asia trip with the boys where we talk about and treat chicks like walking vaginas and egg each other on to cheat on our missus”
4. Laughing at the one mate who’s a f*****g pig rather than calling them out
5. Stop getting defensive when you’re called out for speaking or behaving in a way that’s hurtful or upsetting — no one is telling you that you can’t be angry or upset, but you do need to actually learn how to express your emotions in a respectful and clear manner, especially your anger

Continuing to do a thing a person has asked you to stop doing as a joke.

Like there's this thing that dudes often seem to think is cute and funny, where like, in a movie, the funloving man and the stick-in-the-mud lawyer lady are taking a painting class, and it's his solemn duty to teach her to *loosen up and live a little.* So he dabs a bit of paint on her nose, and she goes "OMG STAHP" and he does it again and now they're rolling around covered in paint making out while romantic music plays.

But in real life, he is drunk, has sat on her chair and broken it, and instead of apologizing is now laughing and leaping around her kitchen swinging a chair leg over his head, hooting and hollering while she powerlessly begs him to stop before he breaks any more of her belongings.

I don't think men realize how terrifying it is when you're a woman asking a man to stop something and he doesn't. Even a harmless joke. It makes you realize, holy s**t, I can not shout loud enough for him to hear how serious I am, I can not physically stop him from doing whatever he wants to do to me, he can do whatever he wants and there is nothing I could do short of causing grievous bodily harm to stop him.

Always. Every single time. If someone asks you to stop something, even if they're laughing, stop immediately, even if you just stop long enough to explain why it's important to you to keep doing it. Always stop immediately.

Women Are Sharing Specific Behaviors That They're Tired Of Seeing Men Do (50 Answers) No is a complete sentence.

Sorry, I bored at work, so this was a bit short. What I meant is, if you are in a relationship with a guy, no would be a short, perhaps cold answer, but I don't think that's what OP meant.

I meant it as, if a guy bothers you for any reason, like he wants your phone number or any socials you don't want to give him, you don't need to provide a reason, because a simple no should be enough. Unfortunately, a lot of men (yes I know, not all) won't take just a no for an answer an *must* know the reason, because whatever.

So, to answer the original question: I wish some guys would just accept a simple no and would stop asking again and again and again for something that has already been answered with a no.

Communicating to us through our husbands/ boyfriends/ fathers etc.

I was doing 3D modelling work for a guy in Italy a few years back and when he needed something done he’d tell my husband what he wanted done and tell my husband to tell me.

It was so frustrating and belittling. My husband was working on something else for him that had nothing to do with my project. Yet every damn time he wanted something done he’d tell my husband, not me.

Ever since then I’ve refused to work on the same project my husband is working on.

If I say I’m working, it means I’m working. The amount of times I get ‘oh, you’re just being mean’ is ridiculous.

Acting oh so cool when there are other guys around. Especially not speaking up when they are being s****y to a woman, or making sexist jokes, just because you might be a "mood killer". Be a decent human being and tell them to stop; one of your other friends or even the majority might back you up on this and are just waiting for someone else to say something.

Treating women as if they’re children.

There’s a level of protectiveness that I find attractive in a partner when it pertains to me, but what I absolutely loathe is a partner mansplaining or talking down to me due to their own superiority complex.

I’m a 28 year old female who has worked for everything she has (yes, I really am). I don’t need a partner who backs me into a corner like a kid. Challenge me, certainly. Treat me as if I don’t know any better, absolutely not.

(Obviously this only applies to specific people), I wish they'd stop speaking on behalf of women when it comes to things like how women feel on issues (what they find attractive, how they think) and their bodies (making comments that sound like a medieval medical diagnosis about women), that they really have no evidence for. Also wish they'd stop trying to revert the world to both 1950s and 1800s Western society so they can have subservient underage brain empty wives. Manosphere and sexist nonsense. I'm tired of it. It's draining.

Start off with energy they can’t keep up. I had a guy who did little things for me like if the air in my tires was low he’d go and fill them without my even asking. This is something I can do myself, but it was such a kind and thoughtful thing to do. Similarly, he refilled my wiper fluid after I mentioned it was out (bug splatter everywhere). We’d pick up croissants on Sunday and he said it was “one of our things” and he’d say, “Have you ever done this?” then when I said no he’d say okay we’ll do this on a good weather weekend, etc. Just little stuff that made my life easier and made me feel like he was someone I could count on, etc., but inevitably he stops doing these things and I’m left knowing *something* is missing, but I can’t put my finger on it or if I bring it up, I’m told I’m being demanding or needy and suddenly I’m putting too much pressure on him. Like no, babe, I was just wondering if you still wanted to go up to the lake you’ve been hyping up so we could go jet skiing like *you* suggested.

The first time this happened to me it was such a mindf**k lol.

Following women when they’re walking. This is the most annoying and fear-inducing action that I have ever experienced. I have been out walking through my neighborhood, walking around the block on my lunch break, etc., and on multiple occasions, men have passed me in their cars and turned the vehicle around to ask me out on the side of the road. One guy even got out of his car, and I had to sprint away because I was so terrified. One guy walked up to me while I was reading on the stairs outside my office building and said he’d been watching me for a while and wanted to go get coffee with me.

‘Alpha man’ mentality especially when the guidance tries to make the women the clear subordinate/borderline slave in some cases with SERIOUS power imbalance instead of a loving equal companionship. Basically treating women like something you can own and not seeing us as people with our own wants and needs.

Monologuing when you're supposed to be having a conversation. I've talked to so many dudes who will just talk about themselves for two hours straight and not even let me get a word in edgewise. Believe it or not, women have thoughts and opinions too. We're not here to just listen and nod and agree with everything you say. Ask us for our thoughts. Be curious about our minds. Just ask us a f*****g question. It's not that hard. We're people too. Listen and you might actually learn something.

This makes me sad that so many women have had to deal with so many awful dudes. As a guy, I don't see it (and the guys I know haven't displayed this sort of thing in front of me), but of course that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. This kind of stuff shouldn't still be happening so often, and I'll try to do my part to call out this sort of behavior if I do see it happening. I think perhaps the biggest reason it still goes on is because other guys enable it, or laugh it off, or just don't speak up about it.

You're right that it might not happen where you can see. At a Ren Faire in a mixed group the ladies didn't get any comments when we were together. However when we separated the comments poured in. What that shows to me is that they seek out the "unprotected" or "unclaimed". It also happens when the men are alone. They must recognize that the behavior is not acceptable or they wouldn't be regulated by such things.
