Is there anything that other people of your gender do that make you angry?

Asked by KateTheGreat (13640points) April 17th, 2011

I was speaking with someone yesterday about a few issues that made me quite mad at women as a whole. What kind of things do people of your gender do that piss you off? What do you wish you could change? How are you defying the statistics?

Women that think having a man is going to make them happy. They don’t realize they need to be happy with themselves. A partner can be an extension of your self, but don’t make your partner your whole life.

People of all genders make me angry. I go back and forth and back again with my anger. Being that I don’t identify with a gender, it’s not so hard for me to see wrong where there is wrong and right where there is right, regardless of who these wrongs/rights represent. I suppose, I get especially irked (because earlier in my life I did identify with women) when women police other women, call them sluts, tell them how to look ‘classy’, etc, without recognizing what they’re contributing to their own oppression.

What really pisses me off is that women get mad at mean for being “douchebags” but in return, some women are just as conniving and bitchy. It’s so sad.

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

@KatetheGreat Well, that’s understandable because hypocrisy sucks.

I hate men who treat women like shit.

Not any more than men do. ;)

I hate it when women act all cutesy and helpless -makes me cringe.

KateTheGreat's avatar

@faye UGH. I hate that. Why can’t some women just be who they are. I’m not cute or helpless! I plan to keep it that way!

I think this is a man’s world. That hasn’t changed all that much. People are still arguing whether women are allowed to be in combat or hold certain jobs. Not that many years ago a woman had to lie to be allowed to run in a marathon. So women everyday who are trying to make a career outside of those areas where it has been deemed appropriate for a woman have to fight these prejudices and stereotypes.

So what makes me mad and sad is that there are still so many women who are sabotaging their own progress as well as all other women by being sex workers or posing for nudie or porn mags etc. These roles do nothing but contribute to the objectification of females, turn them into a couple of anatomical parts instead of a human who is an equal to males, not just a toy to satisfy their imperative to spread their sperm.

I don’t like it when other men don’t act like gentlemen or honorable men, and instead behave like violent brutes, immature boys with no manners and little respect for their fellow men, big wusses, or a disturbing combination of all three!

The guys who like to get as much ass as possible, and guys under the misconception that masculinity means being an asshole.

I don’t really know where to begin…so many…

Bellatrix's avatar

Women who don’t have goals and ambitions because “they are going to find a man to provide for them” or those who have found a “man to provide for them” and do nothing useful with themselves. There are still women out there who think this way.

incendiary_dan's avatar

Oh, I’ll just cheat with one word: PATRIARCHY

And all it entails.

MRSHINYSHOES's avatar

@ddude1116 I totally agree——there’s this misconception in today’s world that to be masculine means to be aggressive, brutish, and ugly. Masculine to me means showing the best qualities of being a man, and to me that means being honorable, assertive, and being strong for the ones you love, strength of character. Physical strength and prowess are great masculine qualities, but when they’re used in an ugly way, forget it.

Men who can hurt a woman just by being with her, are aware of it, and just don’t care.

MyNewtBoobs's avatar

@KatetheGreat Well, men are douchebags. Not because they’re men, because they’re people. Men are just a subsect of the douchey douchebags known as the “human race”. In case you didn’t already know, I have a bit of pessimistic view on the human race.

I hate it when women talk down to or make fun of other women based on their appearance or what they’re wearing.

I have major issues with how women are expected to stack up against one another in our society, and it really kills me when I see how judgmental some women are towards each other. It probably pisses me off more than anything else, completely regardless of gender.

Mariah's avatar

To echo the same sentiment that some others have posted, I hate that women feel they need to keep each other in line. A woman dresses too scantily? Call her a slut. A woman sleeps with more men than you think she should? Call her a whore. Most disadvantaged groups have enough trouble overcoming an external oppressor – women are doing a mighty find job keeping themselves down by going after each other like this.

plethora's avatar

I hate nonstop talkers of either gender, who are clueless about the meaning of the word “conversation”. People who literally talk endlessly almost without taking a breath. I have seen more women than men who do this, but just this past week sat through a two hour nonstop marathon pitch by a guy who is really a genius, but who has no idea when to shut his mouth.

filmfann's avatar

I am very slow to anger, but I have zero tolerance for other men who are unfaithful to their wives.

ddude1116's avatar

@MRSHINYSHOES Exactly! They don’t seem to understand that being a good person has anything to do with it.

@MyNewtBoobs Yes, men are douchebags, women aren’t any better, and it all boils down to an intense insecurity….

SavoirFaire's avatar

Sexism. Especially this kind, which I see all the time.

MyNewtBoobs's avatar

@SavoirFaire That’s pretty much how they all go down on Fluther.

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

@MyNewtBoobs I don’t think so. Fluther has less of the dumb than the rest of the world. There have been plenty of times when I was able to destroy the user’s argument and their tired-ass cliches.

@SavoirFaire I’d laugh at the comic, if it weren’t so true.

faye's avatar

@SavoirFaire Great comic. @noelleptc I also love that you said pocketbook!

Kardamom's avatar

I don’t like it when women act and dress slutty to garner attention. Women and men can be attractive and beautiful and sexy, but when they puposely dress up like street walkers and hookers, it makes all women look bad.

plethora's avatar

@Kardamom I’m thinking there are plenty of fools, both male and female, and the foolish behavior of one person does not reflect on the gender. Why do you think it does?

deni's avatar

Diet too much.

Nullo's avatar

I find effeminate men to be annoying. Especially if they’re doing it on purpose.

DominicX's avatar

Sexism.

I live with straight guys. Women are “sluts”, “bitches”, they should just shut up because they’re not funny and they’re dumb skanks ugh…so sick of hearing it all…

Kardamom's avatar

@plethora I’ve never seen a man dress up like a street walker or a hooker, unless it was to be funny at a party or on some silly TV show. Women do it all the time to simply attract men, whether it be at a party or at work or at shcool. It sickens me.

Pissant blokes who hit women, fucking cowards!

I agree with @Simone_De_Beauvoir about women that “police” other women. Stop worrying about what others are up to and worry about how you want the world to judge you. If another women wants to act like a “slut” then that’s her choice, you don’t have to.

I agree with @faye about women who act helpless.

I agree with @Mz_Lizzy about women that are too happy to sit back and let the man provide.

I dislike it when women have a major chip on their shoulders about it being a “mans world”. I know a few women that claim to be “feminists” but actually just come across as bitter man haters. I love women who aren’t afraid to work alongside men and fight for equality but I hate those that sit and moan about injustices.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Women who know they don’t have what it takes for any man to want to marry them, so they lie about being on birth control and get pregnant with his baby thinking they’ll get what they want that way. They destroy lives without a second thought.

OpryLeigh's avatar

@Dutchess_III I agree. I never understood why anyone would want to trap someone who didn’t love or want them in return.

takaboom's avatar

women that claim to want good men, but they don’t know what they want , say it to look better than what they are, or just don’t care, while I am a good person attracted to good people and got no one, but they just insist on hurting others.

constantly fitting the “bitchy” stereotype but complaining about other bitches.

laineybug's avatar

I agree with @Leanne1986, @faye, @Mz_Lizzy, @Simone_De_Beauvoir, and @Dutchess_III. I also hate it when girls pretend to be pregnant so their boyfriend will marry them or won’t break up with them.

Like anyone, I can’t stand egotism from either gender but other than that, I have only one serious aggravation concerning my gender and that’s physical abuse.. Mental abuse is bad enough and like egotism, works through both genders equally but physical abuse is particularly disgusting coming from a man.. Yes, women have this tendency as well but men seem (to me) more pathetic and vile.. Possibly because they can be dangerous but more likely because they were either bullied or bullies in their youth and didn’t learn from the ordeal. In my opinion, men who physically abuse women or children shouldn’t be compared to real human beings.. Their pathetic punks who have no right to happiness.
