What Women Really Think (23): She shouldn’t have had to write this

 There is not one woman in the world who needs you to tell her what she can wear, where she can go, to whom she can speak, or what she should think.

What Women Really Think (22): Rape

22. We want to be taken seriously when we say we were raped. Know that one in four women will be raped during her lifetime. When a woman is raped and feels brave enough to report, she has to relive her hell over and over again just to put the violence on record. First she has to get a physical exam of the area that has been violated, then she has to describe the attack, to a cop, to a lawyer, to a judge and maybe even to a jury. That is if the cop even takes her seriously and if the case even goes to trial. Most cases don’t and often the victim gets blamed for the attack. She will face harassment and humiliation, only for the fact that she seeks justice. Think about the last time you called a woman a liar for talking about what happened to her. If you have never done this, more power to you. However if you automatically consider a rape victim a liar, don’t! If you want to give women a real reason to trust you as a man, stop your friends from telling rape jokes, tell people off for calling a victim a liar, do not automatically assume she made it up. Most women are too afraid to talk about this. Women who do speak up need support, not harassment.

 

 

What Women Really Think (21): Axe Body Spray

21. Axe Body Spray does not smell good.  A clean body wearing clean clothes and maybe a *little* aftershave or cologne smells good.  If we can smell you before we see you, dude, reel it the hell in.

What Women Really Think (20): Reverse Sexism

20. Pointing out the oppression, sexism, misogyny, general douchebaggery that women live with every single day of their lives, is NOT being sexist toward men!

What Women Really Think (19): Thongs

 

 19. Thongs are fucking uncomfortable.

What Women Really Think (14-18): Douchebaggery

 

14.   Women are aware of your motivations, so don’t try to hide them.  All that does is increase your douchebag factor, and women hate douchebags just as much (if not more than) you do.

 

15.   No one cares if the way my ass looks gives you a hard-on, least of all me.  Shut the fuck up and leave me alone.  Otherwise, guess what?  That’s right – you’re a douchebag.

 

16.   Stop trying to impress your guy friends by disrespecting women.  That’s douchebaggery of the highest caliber.  Your guy friends aren’t impressed, and if they are?  They’re douchebags.

 

17.   Don’t trivialize women’s concerns.  We constitute over half the human race – it continues to amaze me how douchebags manage to get through adolescence without realizing this simple fact.  If half the human race thinks it’s a problem and you don’t, that doesn’t mean you’re right.  Use your noodle for a second – what does Occam’s razor say?  That’s right!  You’re a douchebag!

 

18.   You KNOW when you’re being a douchebag, so just quit it already.  It’s transparent, and it’s pathetic.  Do yourself (and womankind) a favor and DON’T BE A DOUCHEBAG.
