The women of Reddit are getting real about the things they really don’t want to hear ever again. It asks, “What’s a sentence or expression you hate hearing from other women?” Their responses range from the annoying to the straight up offensive and these are some of the most popular.
- "'If he’s mean to you, that means he likes you.' No. It means he’s mean to you."
- "When thin women tell curvy women like me 'I love your confidence!' It just screams, 'I would never be that confident if I looked like you.'"
- "'Boys will be boys.' Nah. Boys and men still have to behave respectfully to other people. Their gender doesn't make them exempt from that, nor should it. This type of statement just worsens the problem by absolving them."
- "Any comments on how unnecessary, unhealthy, and toxic it is to enjoy makeup, skincare, or any cosmetic procedures. Obviously, it isn't men's business, either, but I can't stand the holier-than-thou attitude from women who refuse to let other women enjoy things."
- "'Don't put on too much muscle, or you'll drive away most of the guys,' or something of the like. First, bold of you to assume I'm straight. Second, bold of you to assume I do this for men. I want to be able to baby carry every single dog I come across."
- "'Real women have curves!' I guess my lanky *ss is a hologram."
- “Being told, 'Oh, you’re being dramatic; the same thing happened to me, and it was fine.' From medical things to life experiences, this response sucks, and I hate it."
- "Any variation of the 'I don't get along with other women' sentiment. There are 4 billion women on Earth, and you haven't gotten along with a single one? Really? And you think that's a reflection on them and not you?"
- "'All girls dream of their wedding day!' No, they don't, stop it."
- "I hate when people ask me 'What does your boyfriend/husband think?' in regards to my hair or some other unconventional choice I've made with my life. Really? That's the first thing that popped into your head?"
- "I’m not like other girls."
- "'You'll want kids; you'll change your mind when you're older.' Or, 'You'll never know true love until you have a child!'"

- It’s bad enough hearing some of this from a guy, but from other women?
- I hate gossip!
- Some people need to try and keep their opinions to themselves.
