When did we start regressing so quickly??? I feel like society woke up one day and decided it is somewhere around 1950 and women are absolutely inferior, stupid and only there to "please" their man and have babies.
I just don't get it. I know there will always (unfortunately) be sexist pigheaded types. And I know some don't mean anything by what they say, it is just ignorance. As in they say something but mean no offense by it. But lately I have witnessed and been exposed to near 100% male chauvinism.
A compilation of things I've overheard or been told by MEN in the last few months:
"Women are waiting until well past 30 to have kids now. That is way too late. They need to get their priorities straight. A job ain't nothing for them, let the MAN earn his money and you get them babies birthed before them eggs dry up."
Um, I am sorry what?!?
"Sugar don't worry your pretty face the men will handle the numbers."
Seriously????
"It's good to know you do your wifely duty and take care of the home."
F**k you dude! I cook because I like it and clean because it has to be done, plus my husband helps and did I mention I work 40+ hours a week. Wifely duties, suck it asshole.
"Women just aren't as good with numbers. You have to really focus to understand them."
Betcha I understand numbers better than you do!
"She's a girl! She shouldn't want to climb fences, play outside or get dirty."
She can kick your ass and that scares you doesn't it.
"He's a boy! Playing dress up with his sister will make him gay"
Oh honey, that is not how that works. If he likes boys nothing you do or do not expose him to is going to change that.
"You shouldn't eat that *points at something fried*, you should eat that *points at something healthier*."
If someone told me that I'd punch them, just saying.
"I like your pigtails, they are like two little straps to hang on to."
*jaw drop* In what world is that ever an appropriate thing to say unless it is in the bedroom between significant others!
"When I get married my wife is going to wear lingerie to bed every night. If she wants to eat."
Ahhhhahahahaha, yea good luck with that *face palm*
"She shouldn't go to *insert big name university* for nursing. She needs to understand science and math are hard and I don't want her to get discouraged."
WTF is wrong with you?!?! She can do anything she wants to! Do NOT discourage her because YOU think Math and Science will be too hard. Argh!!! I can tell you first hand how this will eff a girl up! I was told something similar when I was in college. I was practically brainwashed into changing my major from NURSING to business because it was "less science" and I AM GOOD AT SCIENCE. Look I love what I do most of the time but I can't help but think of how my life would have gone if I just did nursing and told all them peeps to screw off. Granted I didn't get an undergrad in business. I changed it sort of at the last minute, I guess I had to rebel a little, ha!
I know there were more but these are the only ones I wrote down because...just wow!
