Ladies of Reddit - what are you tired of guys asking/telling you?
- Stop telling me I need to get contacts. I love my glasses and the way my face looks with them. I've had them since I was 7 and I'm not changing. No I don't care if you think I'm prettier without them. They are apart of me and I want to keep it like that.

- Telling me that I'm in my 20's and should be experimenting instead of choosing to only have sex with people I'm in a committed relationship with
— UnicornSprinkleParty
- Stop asking me if I'm on my period. The more you ask me, the more I want to bleed on everything you own.

- "I prefer less makeup."
Cool. Then wear less makeup. What does that have to do with me, Chad?

- When a guy gets surprised that I can actually know stuff and be smart.

- I'm sick of men saying to me, "I could turn you straight" or "you just haven't tried me" when they find out I'm a lesbian.

- Don't cater to my every whim to the detriment of yourself! I want an equal, not a servant.

- "hey, your bra strap is showing!! you need to fix it before someone sees!"
Who caaaaaares! It's a piece of fabric! Next you'll act scandaloused because you can see my ankles or something.

- When a guy tells you you're acting a certain way because "women are just more emotional." Totally undermines the legitimacy of your feelings and that your concerns aren't actually real.

- When men tell me to smile. When a man tells me to smile, I feel like I’ve been contracted to provide aesthetic entertainment for him.

- "Aw, come on, it was a compliment!" immediately after catcalling me.
How about this: I will hire a squad of burly older men to follow you around. They will follow you everywhere, whether you're walking to work or getting groceries or trying to get a cup of coffee on your lunch break. And they will shout about how nice their dicks will look in your ass and how pretty you look right now and why aren't you smiling? It was just a compliment! Are you a stuck up bitch? I bet you're a stuck up bitch who can't take a compliment.
*Then* you can tell me the difference between a compliment and a power trip.
ETA: Oh, sweet, reddit gold! Thank you, kind stranger!

- Don't give me lifting advice at the gym.
