Things men have called me and why.

[CosmicCanary]

Slag lots of times but this was the first.
I was 13 he was late teens.
My crime: I walked past him and did not look at him when he said "alright darling"

Whore
Countless times but the one that sticks in my memory.
Aged 16 he was in his 30s with his mates outside a pub.
My crime: i said no thank you when he asked me for a fuck.

Just a tart
Aged around 19. Him same age.
My crime: I declined his offer of a drink in front of his mates so i was labelled just a tart who was out for free drinks.

Hysterical bitch
Aged 22. Him about same age.
My crime: I told him to fuck off after he repeatedly grabbed my arse while I was waiting at the bar.

prozzy
Aged 22. Him much older.
My crime: wearing a short skirt.

Quite a few years of all the above comments then:

Ugly bitch
Aged 39. Him mid 30s.
My crime: To say no he could not sit on my knee in the pub I was drinking in.

Fat slag
Me aged 40. Him late 20s.
My crime: Telling him to fuck off after he pushed me out of the way in a very long taxi que I had been stood in for 20 mins and I was next in line.

The last one ^^ was last Friday evening.

In all my years I have never called men vile names like I have recieved.
One because I am not rude and vile but more importantly because I fear they would attack me if I spoke to them the same way.

The younger me used to put up with it keep my head down and move out of their way.
The older me fights back a bit but I am still scared they will hit me if I do.

Feel free to list your own.

AsMen, I agree with Sophocles. Assuming you’re not trolling, a more measured style might serve you better.

Astrid, I agree; it’s an excellent example of how the unevenness of gender roles, and the silly games it generates, makes life crap for everybody.

I think you would be better served to start your own thread rather than bludgeoning this one to death. You started off topic and have stayed off topic to the point where you have killed the topic.
In the words of the French soldier: “I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal-food-trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries.”

I think people are being a bit harsh here. I don't agree with the Nazi analogy - but this:

When your fathers, brothers and sons sit in their rooms watching women and girls being sexually abused, demeaned and degraded they aren't bothered what you think of them.

...is something we should all be thinking about.

The social acceptability of mainstream porn - and how abusive it is towards women - surely we should see how that's all linked? Men and teenage boys are watching this stuff - it has an effect.

And this is serendipitous, just popped up on Indy100:

www.indy100.com/article/porn-scripts-metoo-hashtag-men-tell-difference-stories-video-be-frank-8130061

Men cannot tell the difference between porn scripts and #MeToo sexual assault experiences.

Over 80% of online porn shows abuse of women.

Well you imagine that, when men sit on juries in rape cases and are the judges and are the police.

Collectively men protect each other and casting doubt on women's words and giving the benefit of the doubt to men is all part of it and telling women and girls not to dress a certain way or go out alone, cos the wolves are always busy hunting their favourite prey.

The streets are deemed men's territory, that is why men tell women, you venture there alone and you are asking for trouble.

Yes the streets are unsafe for women and girls to be alone on because men make them unsafe.

and the idea men protect women is pure male hype because it is men who put women's lives in danger in the first place but men never ever mention that.

@hipsterfun
If men agree men abuse women and girls, then nothing should be out of bounds in discussing that abuse and where it all stems from.

I believe people would rather stick their heads in the sand than face reality.

What do you think men would do collectively to women and girls if they had total freedom to do exactly what they wanted to do and there were no laws to restrain them?

But you're saying that they already are aren't you? That men are routinely abusing, raping and killing women and men on juries, judges and in the Police are protecting them?

So you already think men have absolute freedom to do exactly what they want so what do you think would happen if the laws weren't restraining them? Because you don't think the law is?

I agree that the widespread abuse of women as well as the rape torture and abuse of women as entertainment clearly demonstrates that it would be even more common than it is now without the constraints currently in place.
Doesn't change the fact that this thread is about verbal abuse and you are still derailing it.

Well I'm not going to let Asmen put me off from sharing my experiences. A few years ago, was recovering from cancer treatment. Dh took myself and dc's for a break in small fishing town, South England. Needed to stop for a rest, so dh took kids to a shop whilst I took a breather for 5 minutes. So, stood there, pale, ill looking, grey hair (in my 50's) and leaning on a walking stick. Three men approached and one said laughing, "drop your drawers and a tenner's yours" The other two men walked off, looking embarrassed which goes back to the point that men are going to have to speak up, not shuffle off all embarrassed. The reason I described my appearance is to show it doesn't make any difference how you look. Young, old, thin, big, ill looking, disabled. It shook me up because I was still recuperating. If I'd have been well, I would have given him a right mouthful! This was in broad daylight, with families around.

Oh, so in keeping with OP's title: That's what he said. My crime: dunno? Must be standing alone, looking frail.

My recents were all by women. I really can't remember the last time a man said anything like that to me.

Road rage- I had right of way, a woman pulled out in front of me. We were both stuck without moving so she wound down her window screaming, I started shouting over the top of her and she screamed slaaaaag as she drove past!

DH ex partner always calls me names. I've never called her one back! (To her face). She's called me: 'that tart', 'that slag', 'that Bitch' (All in front of DSS, how gracious!).

I was in a working man's pub a few weeks back and a fight broke out between a teenage boy and a grown man. Me and my other (tough) female friends tried to protect the teenage boy and we were verbally attacked by the men's wives/girlfriends. 'Piss off you interfering cunts!'.

Ooh wait, a man did call me a horrible name recently. My DH called me a c*nt, but I called him a pathetic child first. Does that count???

Yes, it does count Three. He's a man and he called you a horrible name.
