To ask for your most minor, irrational ick?

[trekking1]

The thing that men do that is completely normal to most people, but gives you the ick?

Mine is men wearing long socks with shorts. I'm sorry I just can't

I’m the opposite, if a man can play guitar well, he instantly increases in attractiveness to me. 🤣

It's also worth noting that these "what about poor menz and equality" posters are on a site predominantly for women policing our language, rather than one of the millions of other sites where men are massively derogatory towards women trying to police them.

Almost like they aren't fussed about equality at all really.

👏 👏 👏

As I am not a lesbian I interpret the “ick” as something small which stops me fancying men.
If I was attracted to women I am sure I would have things to say about them too.

Exactly spot on 👍👍

Oh, I am sure you would, yes. 😫

Most laughable response yet, and that's saying something.

That’s why it’s irrational!!

Now don't be silly! Some of the women on MN are amongst the most sexist individuals I've ever come across. They just can't resist a bit of men-bashing.

You seem to have (wrongly) assumed people are offended, when really they are pointing out how sexist the whole thread has become.
So no, not 'really'.

@Sandytoesandcrabs lol. Nope.
I remember another time I got scolded by the mum when I had a can of coke...'those are bfs little brothers special drinks!'
I never got fed in that house. Think the mum was trying to tell me something? Haha.

Maybe you should re-read some of yours. They have given me a chuckle anyway.

'Glad' to hear you find sexism amusing.
As stated, several times, men writing a similar thread about women would be chastised (and rightly so).

This is correct, and whenever you point out how reversing the situation would be seen they somehow decide we are 'offended' - nope, just pointing out the hypocrisy really.

Well my response to that is simply - you either accept the principles of equality between men and women. If you simply don't want to acknowledge blatant sexist remarks, then that is your prerogative. However don't start complaining about men being sexist towards women.

Men drinking from the those water bottles that have an inbuilt straw instead of tipping them up like a sports cap. I could never sleep with a man again after seeing that.

I haven’t seen that film and don’t think I’ll bother now! I still feel embarrassed that I agreed to that but glad to know I wouldn’t now.

Men write much, much worse stuff about women all the time.

Why aren't you on one of those sites telling them off?

Let's not pretend that a thread about minor icks is anywhere near the level of vitriol that women get online, or irl.

You keep on fighting for those poor, hard done by men though. Don't let the actual issue of real sexism stand in your way. This thread about icks is definitely the problem.

Women who don’t like cats
Women who only like butch looking dogs
Women who use their car as a toy instead of just transport
Women who walk around with no shirt on when not on the beach

Still not bashing of one sex, as opposed to 'ick'?

Nope, still not bashing. If they’re your icks, they’re your icks. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Just asked my partner what his icks are for women are and he said

big hoop earrings
cool wife types
being very muscular
short hair
lip filler
vocal fry
being interested in football only for the world cup
gossiping about friends
being scared you break a nail/nail varnish

Still not bashing.🤷🏻‍♀️

But what if you’re left handed? I eat ‘cack handed’ according to my DH, but it’s because I broke my arm as a child and got into the habit of holding my cutlery in the opposite hands. I also wear my watch on the ‘wrong’ wrist ie the right because of this.

Your chatting shit. Having icks isn’t sexist. I’ve just listed my male partners icks about women.

I have an issue with actual sexism.

Why don’t you go back to justifying men going to Thailand to find a bride? Interesting responses from you on that thread.

We see you.

*You’re

God, yes!
Why do they do this?
Mental.

The OP asked for ‘minor, irrational’ icks. I don’t think ‘animal cruelty’ and ‘domestic abuse’ really come under that umbrella, do they? You might as well say “Call me picky, and I know I’m being unfair, but I just get really irritated by paedophiles.”
