Ladies, I think we can all agree that there are certain behaviors men direct toward us that make us do a lot of this:
Welp, reddit user u/KristianBerg decided to expose ALL of the fuckery when they asked, "Females of Reddit, what’s the most annoying/obnoxious thing that males in your life do regularly?"
Let's just say the responses are painfully relatable and also super infuriating. See for yourself:
1. “Oh wow, you’re really good at XYZ...for a girl.”

2. "If I say I'm tired or need a good night's sleep or in pain, it's like a competition to see who is the most tired or in pain."
3. "Reprimand me for not being feminine enough. I was raised with only brothers, so I think I kinda walk, talk, sit and behave like them. Especially when I just try to relax. But apparently that's scandalous and not ladylike. Please, kindly fuck off."
4. "Commenting on my weight and/or how much I eat."
5. "Suggest I should have my husband handle it when discussing any home repair or maintenance."

6. "Dismissing our problems is something that annoys me. For example, if you're a woman, you can't complain at all about the amount of creepy and sexist dudes on dating apps. If you do, you'll get dozens of men saying they get ignored on Tinder so you should be grateful to even be messaged."
7. "Repeat what I’ve said back to me, but as if they just thought of it."
8. "Trash women and then in the same breath complain about how women don’t like them."
9. "Thinking I need to have a boyfriend and making it a big deal when I say I prefer being single."

10. "Saying things as if they're facts, and then when they google it to prove their point, and realize they were wrong, instead of saying, 'Oh shit, I was wrong' they just go silent and drop the subject and hope I forgot about it. I did not forget."
11. "Telling me to smile, or 'You’re prettier when you smile.'"
12. "Shush me mid-argument. Like, actually put a finger to their lips and say 'shush' when I'm halfway through a sentence."
13. "Touching my shoulder/waist when walking past me, and asking for hugs/kisses on the cheek because I do it with my other friends."

14. "Question when I say something is broken or doesn’t work. They ask if I‘m sure that I did everything correct, and only after trying themselves, they believe me."
15. "Write off period cramps as nothing serious. I'm sorry, do you puke because you're in so much pain on a monthly basis?"
16. "Instead of just saying, 'Hey, can you do XYZ?' Asking, 'Do you think you should do XYZ?'"
17. "Interrupt me. They don't do it maliciously, but it's obvious they've been programmed to word vomit whenever they damn well please."

18. "When I go for a run, it regularly happens that male strangers honk when driving past me. Even if I’m wearing long clothes. It’s just really irritating."
19. "When online: 'Can I see a pic of you', 'What u look like', 'You cute?' 'Are you really a girl?' 'He doesn't have to know,' 'I bet I'm bigger than him', 'You're so hot, can you show me your body too?'"
20. "Mansplaining or catcalling."
21. "Calling me 'girl' or 'baby' during an argument or a heated discussion. It makes me feel like I'm not taken seriously and is belittling."
