Anyone else sick of this? I’ve never seen a woman do it.

Example 1 - 2 men on our (quiet, residential) street on opposite sides of the road are having a ‘conversation’. Only they’re not, they’re bellowing across the road to each other (with fuck or shit being every other word) for a good 10 minutes. Because it’s much more manly to stay where you are and scream like a nutter than it is to cross the road and talk like a normal person.

Example 2 - on a bus the other day, woman opposite me chatting quietly on her mobile. Bloke behind me picks his up and literally shouts down it - ‘HI KEV YOU ALRIGHT! YEAH IM ON THE BUS! YEAH FUCKING FREEZING ISNT IT! DID YOU HEAR ABOUT SO AND SO? YEAH WHAT A CUNT’ blah blah blah

Could probably come up with a new example every few days!

Just shut up you sad man nobody cares or is impressed with your stupid vocal cords

Agree Op. I call my small town Danny Dyer land as there's an f word in every overheard, overloud sentence. Recently a man excelled himself by squeezing three f words into one sentence....
Sometimes I just visit the nearest village to escape from the swearing. Its a more elderly demographic there.
I totally get everyone could have a right to be angry about something after the last several years....but it seems some have gone into Tarzan on steroids mode.
Wonder if there's any anthropologists out there who would care to comment on this phenomenon?

I was in A&E the other week and some bloke was on FaceTime for hours to his wife/girlfriend, bellowing at the top of his lungs. She barely got a word in as he described every single detail of what was going on. “Yeah this is fucking shit babe. Some nurse just fucking took some fucking blood out of me and the cunts are saying it’ll be a ten hour wait and I just got some fucking water” and so on and so on. I badly wanted a pair of scissors to cut his charger wire. Thing is, I love swearing, but I’d never shout out swear words in public in a room full of sick and elderly people.

My neighbour likes to do this in his front garden too, yelling at the bloke opposite and having the most inane conversation you could possibly imagine.

I was having lunch with DH last week in a cafe and left as soon as possible due to the table next to us having a perfectly reasonable conversation but at an incredibly unreasonable volume. Two loud men talking very loudly to each other. They drowned out everyone else.

Yeah.
That said there was a woman on my hospital ward doing too. Usually a bloke though.

Noise feckers.

Gives me THE RAGE.

I am now that old bag who shushes them while giving them the evils.

Don't forget the MAMILs on their bikes bellowing to each other at 7am every Sunday morning as they cycle past my house in a quiet village.

Couple of dads at school pick up in the playground on their phones - every other word is 'fuck'.

I am just so sick of male entitlement. (See bus manspreading thread as well.)

Although someone will be along any second to tell us off for 'manhating'.

Ages ago, I was having a meal out and there was a young couple at a nearby table. I think they were on a date as the man was trying to impress the woman with talk of his cleverness. He had a blaring voice and constantly talked over her, but she was being polite.

Then he got onto a horror film he had just seen, and oh my god, the gory details were putting everyone around off their food. I wasn't the only one giving him the evil eye. His companion kept trying, with increasing desperation, to head him off onto other subjects. Luckily I'd finished eating and could go. Not sure how many people finished their meals.

I'd imagine that was a first and last date!

Oh come on, this isn't just a male thing. I've heard plenty of chavvy mums screaming "gerrover here NOW, Connor" in the middle of town.

There's an old fella like this at my local Costa, he's there most days for hours holding court at his favourite table. Spends all day speaking in a very very loud voice that it is impossible to tune out. And it's all utter shite! He's one of those people who very confidently and with absolute certainty talks rubbish, about Brexit, British jobs for British people, Politics of the day, Covid jabs......

God yes totally with you op. They should be shot! Noisy fuckers 🤬😤

Yes - a bunch of them at the pub last weekend sitting round a big table shouting from one end to the other. My friends and I had to move tables as we couldn’t hear ourselves speak over the top of the boorish twats. And men on the train talking loudly on the phone. NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR YOUR ENTIRE BORING CONVERSATION ABOUT CEMENT AND FENCE POSTS YOU LOUD MOUTHED ARSE!!

Oh come on, this isn't just a male thing. I've heard plenty of chavvy mums screaming "gerrover here NOW, Connor" in the middle of town.

But are they having a screaming / bellowing conversation - do it's like Dolby Surround Sound Twattery? 😄

I'm on agreement OP. There's a certain type of man who thinks he's very important and assumes everyone else needs to realise he is very important. The excessive swearing and man topics of conversation prove how important and manly they are.

I always think it’s a dominance behaviour, like animals pissing to mark their territory. Look I can swear loudly on the bus and you can’t do anything about it. Look at me wandering round with my top off in summer, this is my space and everyone else can fuck off.

I don't know. I'm all for equality but these types of threads really put me off identifying as a feminist tbh.

Try and frame the discussion around any other demographic/protected characteristic and see how it sounds. Fat person/old person grunting. Noisy black kids 'blackscreaming'. Yeah, sounds pretty awful.

Well, men are twice as likely as women to suffer from hearing loss and so naturally you’d expect to see twice as many men being loud than women. Perhaps even more than twice as many, as men tend to be in denial about any emerging health condition and procrastinate going to get a hearing testlonger than women do. 🤷‍♀️

Nice to see another thread where you're right in there with the whataboutery when posters discuss an example of male pattern behaviour.

Last time I checked, men were in neither an oppressed nor minority group.

I thought the brain protected against your own shouting damaging your hearing by reducing auditory sensitivity - I think it's called corollary discharge.

So it more suggests men being shouted at by their wives. 😂

Seriously, though, hearing loss in men is equally likely to be related to things like high blood pressure.

Oh, yes because there is never a rational, physiological reason for any behaviours whatsoever. 😂

Years ago DD was in her buggy and we were on a bus in Bromley and this man was shouting down his phone every other word was f. F this and f that. DD was becoming a chatterbox and hanging on every word. Also the bus was full of elderly ladies who were getting a bit upset. I asked him nicely to tone it down and he immediately rang his sister and asked her to come and 'sort me out'!

It’s more that as people suffer hearing loss, they tend to speak louder and their friends/relatives to also speak louder to them.

Well at least you’re not suggesting ASD I suppose…

Neither are old or fat people. Both are incredibly common. In fact, there's not even protection against discriminating on the grounds of weight like there is sex.

However, I said 'protected characteristic' not minority group. The definition being 'A protected characteristic means you have a right not to be treated less favourably by reason of that characteristic'.

So either we recognise them or we don't. If we don't then forget about your gender critical beliefs being a protected characteristic or expecting employers etc not to discriminate against you due to your sex.

Picking and choosing which ones you recognise doesn't really work, because if everybody does that then you might find that they choose not to recognise your protected characteristic.

So what explanation do you have for their every alternate word being ‘fuck/fucking’?
