From telling women that men are superior to them to women being less rational than men, this Reddit thread captures some really ugly truths about what men say to women. The discussion was started when Reddit user u/dangerzone133 posted a question to other women:
“What is the dumbest thing a man has ever said to you about women?” And, here are some of the hard-hitting responses:
1. “Men are smarter because they have bigger brains. Dad still says it all the time.”
2. “That I couldn’t play football because I might get hurt- but my brother was encouraged to play. That I didn’t need to go to college. Just get a job till you get married. That I can’t stay out with men playing D&D at a fucking Denny’s no less- because I was obviously going to get knocked up or something.This from my father.” – jhennaside
3. “From my ex: ‘If a girlfriend/wife can’t or won’t give her man sex, he has the right to find it elsewhere.” niamhish
4. “My father – a woman who marries a foreigner shouldn’t be allowed to bring him into her country as he will take jobs from “our” men. I pointed out he had married a foreigner and brought her here and he said that it was a woman’s place to follow her man.” – ofnovalue
5. “Women want to be mothers, it’s in their nature.” – Anonymous
6. “’You shouldn’t be so picky with guys, women outnumber men and we can have our pick’ when friend found out I was pregnant he said, “Oh, but you don’t have to get your period for nine months, so much less pain!”” – Gr33n_Rider
7. “A guy was telling me that it was the natural order of things for women to be subservient to their husbands. And also that women needed to get married. I told him that was stupid. He told me it was “God’s Will.” I said, “Well what if I don’t want to do either of those things?” “That would be unfortunate.”” – Grammatical_Aneurysm
8. “”Women aren’t as logical as men, are they?” Said by an otherwise intelligent man. To his credit, he conceded to my flabbergasted “NO!” ” – Mooncinder
9. “Ex’s friend said to him in front of me: “The only reason women get married is so they can stop working and live off you.” The same ex once said that most men ~but not him~only marry so they have access to sex on tap for the rest of their lives. Bah.” – katekate1507
10. “”‘No’ just means ‘Try harder.’ About trying to have sex with women. I noped the fuck out of that conversation.” – weholditdown
11. “”Can’t you just hold it in?” Regarding period blood “So you started your period, it should be over before the end of our date right?” when he picked me up, expecting it would only last 30 minutes to an hour.” – pistachio-pie
12. “To paraphrase: “Women and men’s minds are like boxes except women only have one box while men have a lot. That’s why women always mix up their feelings and can’t concentrate because they put everything in one box. Men don’t do that. They’re able to separate things into different boxes.” I rolled my eyes so. hard. I also wanted to strangle him. I feel bad for his girlfriend tbh.” – momordica
13. “I love the self-congratulatory “women just can’t think rationally like men can” crap that dudes say on the internet. What a self-serving opinion to have when you’re arguing with a chick on a message board.” – mompants69
14. “”If women don’t want to be pregnant, then they shouldn’t have sex” This was an ex of mine. I stopped having sex with him immediately after and he didn’t get it. When I reminded him of what he said, he just spluttered and said I was obligated to have sex with him because we slept naked in the same bed together and were in a relationship.I hate that mentality. I’m not obligated to have sex with anyone.” – Anonymous
15. “”Every woman has a ‘rape fantasy’. It’s a natural part of being a woman.”- RagingFuckalot
