Women are sadly used to being called (or compared to) derogatory things.
That became quite clear when one of the lawyers interviewed in a BBC 4 documentary “India’s Daughter” which retells the story of the Dec. 2012 fatal gang-rape in Delhi, said the following:
We decided to test out his theory. Were women really like diamonds?
Frankly, we don't see the similarity.
Frankly, we don't see the similarity.
Frankly, we don't see the similarity.
But that lawyer is not alone. Here are some other ridiculous things – animals, inanimate objects, you name it – people have compared women to...Instead of, you know, referring to them as normal humans.
1. This gentleman compared women to dolphins.
Nope, don't see it.
2. This proverb makes us look like bees.
A woman is like a bee treat her well and she will make honey, treat her badly and she will go wild.
Can't see how either, TBH.
3. Here we are, being compared to roads.
Women are like country roads. The best ones have curves.
IDK, the woman looks a lot smoother to me.
4. Aaaand we're also fish, served with extra misogyny sauce.
Women are like fish... neither would get in trouble if they kept their mouths shut."
No gills. Your argument is invalid.
5. We're actually fruits too, according to this bloke.
Women are like fruits. Some are apples, pears, apricots, oranges Problem is Men want a fruit salad #PS
Not really seeing the connection here.
6. And "good" girls are a lot like dip, at least in this bro's dictionary.
A good girl is like a can of dip. You don't realize what you've got til it's gone. But let's be real, it's not hard to find another one
Nope, not tortilla chip-appropriate at all.
7. Yeah, there are a LOT of food analogies...
Women are like bacon they look good, smell good, taste good, and slowly kill men.
Science disagrees.
8. And all good food needs to be protected, Like candy, which we are because this person said so.
'You gotta do what you gotta do, mate. An uncovered woman is like an uncovered candy, the flies Will come on it'
Can't process.
9. This guy believes that when we're not candy, we dispense candy.
Women are like vending machines. You put cash in and hope for candy.
Reality:
10. We're also computers.
http://t.co/XIpSfpl4mb Women are like computers -- even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term
Disappointed in your observation skills at this point.
11. This artsy explanation makes us artichokes.
A woman is like an artichoke, you just keep peeling away interesting layers.
Nope, we don't work well as pizza topping, sorry.
12. This dudebro seems to have grown the likes of us in his garden.
A woman is like a flower: If you care for her and love her enough, you'll have the honor of watching her bloom.
Still unconvinced.
13. Mick here has dialled the wrong number.
Women are like telephones... They love to be talked to, they love to be held, but if you push the wrong button... you're disconnected
Nah. Looks totes different to me.
14. This drunk person says we're like the sun.
A good woman is like the sun. No matter what you do, She'll always come back.
Disagree. Nowhere near as hot.
15. This guy must be very hungry.
A woman is like an egg salad sandwich on a warm Texas day... Full of eggs, and only appealing for a short time.
Because we sure don't look like breakfast material.
16. And this dude here thinks we can fly.
A woman is like a butterfly...beautiful to see but hard to catch
But nature disagrees.
17. Alex believes we're kitchen appliances.
A good woman is like an oven, stays in the kitchen and is hot
But this comparison proves otherwise.
18. And according to this genius, we're oysters.
A muslimah is like the Oyster shell .. it keeps hidden the Jewel and Precious Beauty inside!
Don't live in the sea, sorry.
19. Chris is disrespecting women AND zebras.
Women are like zebras Beatiful dumb creatures With nothing important to say
We're not even remotely similar.
20. And we're also a deck of cards.
A woman is like a pack of cards, you need.... a Heart to love her a Diamond to win her a Club to smash her head in and a Spade to bury her
But a deck of cards can't dump you, sooo...
21. Lastly, we are cats.
A woman is like a cat: the more you pet her the better she feels. ~Sicilian Proverb.
Can you spot difference.
So while we women are used to this assholery, we aren't okay with it.
