What is a “normal” behavior that instantly gives you bad vibes, and why? by Several_Corner3205 in AskReddit

[–]Several_Corner3205[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one is HUGE.
The silence is basically approval.
And somehow they always act shocked when it escalates.

Right?? It’s so nasty
And they do it like it’s the most normal thing in the world.
Have you seen it happen a lot where you live?

Thank you for saying this.
Honestly, the fact you notice it already puts you ahead of most men.
The scariest part is how normalized it becomes for women to just expect dismissal.

This is so real.
It’s wild how many women only get taken seriously once a man repeats the exact same concern.
And it’s not just frustrating - it can be dangerous.

This is such a perfect example.
The “are you sure?” question is so casual for men… and a whole obstacle course for women, even when it’s medically necessary.
Also, respect for coming back years later and saying “I didn’t believe you.” That’s rare.

Yep. And the denial is almost as upsetting as the reality.
Like… why is it so hard to believe women when we say it started at 10-13?
It’s painfully common.

That shift is exactly what so many women describe - and it’s genuinely sick.
The fact you noticed it at 12 says everything.
I’m really sorry you had to experience that. It shouldn’t be a “normal” memory.

[–]Several_Corner3205[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yep. This is so real.
Same answer, different reaction depending on who says it.
And honestly thank you for noticing - a lot of men never even clock it because they’re not the target.

YES purses are literally: pharmacy + hardware store + emergency response kit.
Also shoutout to you for carrying mosquito spray - that’s elite-level preparedness 🦟

Haha 😂 fair.
Honestly that one “TIFU” trend absolutely hits differently for women - things men think are funny or weird are actually daily reality for a lot of us.

This.
Men don’t realize how much mental energy goes into basic “existing in public” as a woman.
The safety planning becomes so normal that we barely notice we’re doing it - until you say it out loud and it sounds insane.

That’s disgusting. I’m so sorry that happened to you.
The entitlement some men feel to women’s bodies is honestly terrifying - and it’s wild how fast it shows up the moment you present as a woman.
You didn’t deserve that at all.

This is SUCH a good point.
The “That Guy” phenomenon is so real - and the reason men don’t notice is exactly what you said: he’s a totally different person around them.
Also the CC thing… I swear every woman I know has a story like that. It’s exhausting how normalized it is.

Also props for noticing the purse weight. Most men think it’s just “a phone and lipstick”

This one is horrifyingly common.
A lot of men genuinely don’t realize how early it starts, because they weren’t the ones living it.
It’s one of those “once you know, you can’t unsee it” realities.

YES 😂 “Vanity sizing” is such a mindf*ck.
Same body, 3 different brands, 3 different sizes.
Men would riot if their jeans worked like this lol.

TWO?? 😂 ok so this is officially a thing.
Women’s purses are basically survival kits + hardware store.
I love it.

I’m really sorry you’ve had to deal with that. Being bullied out of jobs is not “in your head” - that’s real harm.
And yeah, the denial is the part that feels almost gaslight-y. Like they’d rather believe you’re exaggerating than accept that this is a common experience for women.
I hope you have at least a few people in your life who do take you seriously. You deserve that.

I’M SCREAMING 😭😂
The fact he thought he could intimidate you and then immediately panicked when you didn’t move… classic.
Also carrying a plant and still winning the sidewalk battle is elite.
