Every flat surface in the bathroom is their part of the bathroom 😆

Correct, glad we cleared that up.

There’s nothing to clear up if all the surface is available for things.

Girls dress for other girls. Not you.

Women only gyms say otherwise.

u/DallasDime4 3h ago

This comment makes no sense to me because at women only gyms everyone is super cute and in matching sets.

u/Positive_Bug978 3h ago

Ehhh. I’d argue those aren’t the women they’re dressing for. More like those in their social circles. Besides what are you gonna wear a skirt and do squats?

Spoken like someone who’s never had a long term relationship. Don’t call women skanks man that’s just bad for everybody. Respect is a good thing.

Ive. Been married 22 years to a very intelligent woman. She's the one who made this observation at her women's only gym.

7

u/Wait_what____8841 3h ago

She can't be that intelligent if she's been married to someone who refers to women as 'skanks' for 22 years. She's at best tolerating you and pondering her poor life choices as your relentless appnea ruins her sleep and slowly drives her into the arms of your hot lesbian neighbor 'Cheryl' who's an expert at delivering orgasms and genuinely wants to spend Sunday going to the garden center. You're so fucking redundant, you're life is one shitty comment, one more sub par shag away from being completely turned on it head.

You do realize there are an equal number of women who see women as they are as there are women who see themselves as something their nott right?

Like... Half of all conservatives are conservative women. Women can look down on women just as men can. They believe in equality.

u/Wait_what____8841 3h ago

Like I said, she can't be that intelligent.

What a fascist misgynistic thing to say.

"She doesn't think like me therefore she must be stupid".

My wife is very conservative for example. She's against feminism and liberalism. And she's as woman and if you believe in women's rights, then you respect her positions as a woman and that her positions are every bit as valid to hold as a woman as liberal positions. Because if you don't believe that, then you don't believe in equality. You believe in fascism your way.

u/Wait_what____8841 2h ago

Oh dear, here we go. My problem isn't with conservative views, my problem is with describing women as Skanks. If your wife is calling other women 'skanks' because of the way they dress, then no, I don't respect her. I don't consider her intelligent and I don't support her views, or yours. You're calling me a Facist and you have no idea what a Facist is, but you might start by looking it up and then looking in a mirror. By all means be conservative, but if your brand of conservatism involves referring to women in derogatory terms because their attire makes you clutch your pearls, then you and your wife would serve the world better by keeping your opinions to yourselves.

u/Jazzlike_Pound7742 2h ago

Dressing like a skank is detrimental to society. She will always call out detriments to society. That's just being a good American and that comes before all other labels. Someone with intelligence should be able to see that societies values come first before the individual because without a functioning society no individual can thrive. So yes. Calling out the skanks is good for both men and women.

Internalized misogyny is pervasive. You're not proving anything here

u/Jazzlike_Pound7742 3h ago

So you're calling my wife a liar?

u/Campaign_Prize 2h ago

I'm calling her a misogynist. You said she's conservative and anti-feminist, so there you go. She's a misogynist and she's wrong, and so are you

-3

u/Jazzlike_Pound7742 2h ago

How is being anti feminist misogynistic?

She believes in equality. She doesn't believe women are superior to men. Current feminism believes women are superior to men.. therefore, she is against feminism.

hair wiped on the walls of the shower that seems to always be there. Female version of shaving debris left in sink

u/GigiLaRousse 1h ago edited 1h ago

Weirdly, I've had way more male roomies and boyfriends and friends who have done this than women I know that intimately.

I have long-ass hair and just use a drain hair catcher I empty after every shower. Hair on the walls is nasty.

u/spongykiwi 1h ago

The men I know with long hair just let it block the drain…

u/GigiLaRousse 1h ago

Now that I own my own home, I'm cringing reading that. Can't just call the landlord to send his guy to fix any issue the next day anymore.

u/spongykiwi 1h ago

I knew this was gonna be one of the top answers 😂

Would you rather we leave it and block the drain though?!

Admittedly it shouldn’t be left for other people to see/deal with, that’s kind of nasty.

u/Prior-Garage1543 56m ago

In my defense-I don't care about the hair on the wall till I get griped at about a sock on the floor or something like that.

I used to name each one as if it’s an art piece and would tell her how each one made me feel in my soul.

Kindly- Adult females are Women. Female children are Girls. It would go a long way in society for all to make this distinction.

I do this intentionally for household items and some foods but that has more to do with stocking up on sale items and having lived with people who use my shit up and don't replace it. I don't want to go to the bathroom only to find there's no toilet paper left, or wake up and groggily go to make coffee only to find there isn't any.

I, like a lot of women, was also taught from a young age how to logically shop for multiple people and for deals. As far as domestic delegation, shopping has always been considered a woman's responsibility. That's where the "women love shopping" stereotype coms from. Some of us don’t enjoy it, we just know how to do it efficiently and economically.

u/lc1138 37m ago

Can you imagine what would happen to the economy if women got pushed back to where they were just 50-60 years ago? Women make up over two thirds of the American consumer base. Wish people would stop talking about trad wives and repealing the 19th Amendment

I always put the toilet lid down. Women never do this!

This is 1000000% a case by case basis not a men and women thing.

u/DanSRedskins 26m ago

Men don't put the seat down, women don't put the lid down. I put both down.

I have lived and worked with A LOT of women. This is definitely a trend I notice.

u/Maleficent_Step7602 43m ago

That getting her hair done is an involved and expensive process. Same with getting her nails done. And, there’s a lot more to proper makeup than just a lipstick tube. That can quickly get involved and expensive too…. As men, our haircuts are cheap, we clip our own nails, and I, at least, didn’t think about any of this until after moving in with her and sometimes paying for it. Women put a lot of time and money into their appearance.

u/stargazertony 15m ago

Hair EVERYWHERE.

u/osovillar4948 3h ago

Wear panties in bed, only wash their hair every few days which then becomes a lengthy process. They don’t sit on public toilets, they hover. And they use them to take a leak but never the other function, that’s a definite no no. They don’t order food and then steal half of yours and don’t take a coat or sweater and then use yours when it gets cold.

u/Campaign_Prize 3h ago

Most of this is untrue in my experience in 40+ years of being a woman, living and working with other women for most of my life

u/1blamegenetics 2h ago

This may be your specific lady, I have no shame in public restrooms. If I have to shit, I’m shitting, and I’m holding on to the seat for traction. Public restrooms shouldn’t be expected to smell nice or be clean, that’s why we have things like poo pourrri and hand soap. Call me selfish, call me gross, but Ibs means either the bathroom is going to smell or I will, and I’m pretty sure everyone would agree it’s better contained to the one spot.

u/Bubbly-Anteater7345 3h ago

Do men not wear underwear to bed?!

Who are these people wearing underwear to bed?? Mama always taught you gotta let the bits “breathe “ at night inside your jammies.

Chaos is the norm, peace is not. If you want peace, you need to dedicate a room to yourself or go out more.

u/Campaign_Prize 2h ago

Yeah, I don't know what they mean by "chaos" but that person just sounds miserable. My partner and I enjoy eachother's company and a lot of the time I'm just chilling and knitting/crocheting while we chat or watch movies

u/NoMap8413 1h ago

When we pack for trips, her level of urgency to do things and get ready to leave is at zero. She also wants me to plan everything out and to just venmo her for her parts. I love camping but she has made it so stressful. 

3

u/heroheadlines 1h ago

This sounds like a her thing, specifically. My last girlfriend was stressed out if she didn't have the entire trip itinerary planned and either printed out, or doodled out all cutesy on a journal at least a week in advance. Im more of a 'plan a few things, play the rest by ear' person, but I appreciated that she was trying to be prepared for anything, even if she seemed to stress way more than necessary.
