WOMEN ONLY COMMUNITY MEN PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT*

It's something I've seen thrown at women a fair bit. Feminazi, stripping men's rights, feminism has gone too far blah blah. Has anyone ever accused you of it? And any women said this to you?

What I have started doing is comparing, every time someone I know disparages a woman driver or someone in the workplace. I bring up all the men we know who have done the same thing or worse. I am hoping that by constantly putting the spotlight on how women are treated and talked about differently something will eventually click. It seems that women have been the automatic punchline for too many jokes for too long.

Edit: It’s frustrating because each time we know many more men who are terrible drivers, act very illogically/emotionally. But point this out and it’s always excuses “oh, well (the man) drives more that’s why he’s had more accidents, there are more opportunities” never mind the fact that he has a history of being reckless/not-paying attention and is usually the one at fault. But when a woman driver is rear ended, it’s always “oh, hehe women drivers”.

    That's a really clever idea! In the UK young mens car insurance is waaayyy high because they're most likely to have mishaps. Not women!

    It’s the same in the US. My brother likes to use the opportunity excuse, trying to claim that men drive more than women. But I swear it’s like all their heads are stuck 80 years in the past. Most of the arguments are “men have to go to work, so they drive more”.

    Well they are right. We women spend our times childbearing, doing chores and sewing. We absolutely never work EVER.

    Obviously. 🙄 Not to mention I think most full time moms I know drive more than their husbands, running errands and kids everywhere.

    Thank you for your contribution, but unfortunately this community has a rule that only women are permitted to comment. Hope you understand! 💙

    As far as I am aware I have always been a woman.

    Edit: Sorry, I know I don’t advertise that information anywhere. I have always been a social media minimalist.
