40 Times Men Were Completely Unaware Of The Female Experience Professionally speaking - getting dismissed, ignored or overlooked (usually in favor of a man).

I work in IT and was trying to set up a new phone system. My boss (a male) put me in charge of it because I had just done something similar at my previous job. Anyways, I kept telling him that my contact at the company we were switching to kept ignoring me and basically calling my questions stupid when he *would* answer me. My boss heard me, but didn't fully understand what the issue was...until he actually saw it happen. I sent an email asking a question, and it was ignored - he sent an email asking the same question and received an immediate answer. My boss' jaw just dropped. He immediately apologized to me and said that while he knew it happened, he'd never actually seen it done before. He was mortified and actually sent an email to that contact at the phone company saying, "when she asks a question, she better get the same attention and response that you would give me".

Until that moment he thought it was something that only happened in theory. It actually blew his mind that it was real.

40 Times Men Were Completely Unaware Of The Female Experience That women know a lot more about men’s health than men do about women’s health.

Because men’s health is the *standard*. Most people know the signs of a heart attack *for men* but don’t know that it’s different symptoms for women. Women need a different amount of sleep per night, different amount of calories per day, different healthy BMI levels. But common knowledge is all about MEN’S requirements because that’s what researchers focused on most when a lot of studies first established what we know about health.

Men get to be ignorant about the needs of 50% of the world population because they find it “icky” but women don’t get the same option.

I hate that women seem fake for these depressive episodes before the period starts. You *were* feeling those emotions, they are real and can seriously f*ck up your life. Pre menstrual dysphoria has some very damaging effects on mental health. For up to 2 weeks before the period starts, one can feel intense anxiety, depression, thoughts of suicide and self harm. For up to 2 weeks every month, which roughly equates to 6 months of these feelings.

40 Times Men Were Completely Unaware Of The Female Experience How absolutely horrifically painful period cramps can be. Like can’t think straight, vomiting, want to die levels of pain.

Three Advil and 45 minutes can get many of us back to good as new though. Until 6-8 hours later when it wears off.

ETA: I know this shouldn’t be “normal” but it unfortunately kind of is. I’ve also talked to gynecologists about it and there isn’t much to do besides take birth control, which I don’t like the other side effects of. I also only bleed for four days and it’s a normal to light flow so endometriosis is unlikely.

I’m also pregnant right now and enjoying no periods!

I never understand why they feel it's so important to know such things.

Pain at the doctors office! My boyfriend was worried a mammogram would hurt me cuz they squish your boobs a little and I was like eh, after getting an IUD put in and samples taken for cervical cancer testing, this will be on the very low end of pain… his mind was blown, he was like I’ve been to the dr so many times and never had a painful experience.

I had a woman co-worker planning some business travel for herself and she was deliberately avoiding layover stops that were past a certain length.

I asked her why and she said that if she had to eat at the airport alone in a business outfit, she would be guaranteed to be propositioned even if she kept her head down in her book or laptop. A lot of married men too looking for a quick airport fling. Blew me away as I had never even thought that would be a thing.

Honestly you can't go anywhere, men will linger and look for an excuse to make conversation. Sometimes it is indeed a conversation and there's nothing wrong with that. But for example I'll be buying something from the corner store and this man had seen me and another woman, unrelated, making her own purchase and he said something loudly and in general to the two of us after finishing his transaction. We both didn't respond. I'm in my 30s and this woman was older than me, we've seen this hundreds of times. He was just lingering, glancing, waiting. Sometimes you do have to count your money or you did forget a purchase, but he didn't. He waited at the counter and I caught him trying to smile at us out of the corner of my eye. He was disheveled, but not totally unkept. Easily in his late 50s or 60s. When he saw that he wasn't going to get any attention for whatever it was he wanted he went outside, but I felt him lingering. Upon exiting the store there he was indeed on the premises.

As a guy I find it mind blowing that a lot of women can have hour long conversations with other women and never seem to run out of things to say, even with women they just met.

Men simply don't realise how much talking they actually do. "A review of 56 studies conducted by linguistics researcher Deborah James and social psychologist Janice Drakich found only two studies showing that women talked more than men, while 34 studies found men talked more than women. Sixteen of the studies found they talked the same and four showed no clear pattern." https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/marriage-equals/201910/do-women-really-talk-more-men

How unsafe you inherently feel and how much work it is to maintain a house and that them doing something after telling them to 100 times actually costs us mental fatigue in terms of micromanaging everyone. Being a woman is like being a manager that works in an environment where you can always be raped assaulted and are continually disrespected. It took me as a woman 32 years to realize this. The unpaid labor women do.

Doesn't look like real like. Make me sad for you. The constand fear of being raped in every day life ? And if you feel like a manager at home maybe it's time to change partner no ? Why would you be responsible for everything at home ? It's 2024...

Safety.
Last week I was talking to an older friendly neighbor. He is 82, we chatted for about 10mins, he invited me in his backyard to show me his olive and fig tree.
Told this to my partner, she answered that she would never do this. Even if he is 82, she’ll never trust a men who ask her to come in his backyard, alone.

I don't think it is necessary nor healthy to distrust every man on the planet. What you do have to do, is switch on your intuition. Dude gives off creepy vibes? No go. Otherwise, fine.

Many women regularly buy new underwear because some of them got ruined.

It would be very concerning if most men periodically thought, "oh, I need new underwear, because these old ones are gross. They're stained a different color than when I bought them.".

I don't think i ever seen or knew a guy that had cried in front of another person

So it blew my mind when one of my classmates cried after failing the midterm but what made it even crazier is another classmate hugged and comforted her ......... what ? Why aren't she in some dark corner crying avoiding human contact.

The amount of time it takes to do hair. Don’t get me wrong, it looks amazing when done, but the process of a woman getting her hair ready to go out is mind blowing to me .

Washing, drying, styling etc

I’m sure I’ve completely butchered process but I love the finished product and don’t mind waiting.

women need to use toilet paper EVERY time they go to the loo, not just after ahem, downloads. We get wet, if we pull our pants up without wiping we would have damp/wet knickers, jeans ...this would smell of urine very quickly. We HAVE to wipe - which is why is is such a bloody big deal when you go to a public loo or a loo in a cafe etc and there is no paper , yuk
