Things I Don't Understand About Women

Things I Don't Understand About Women

Yo. I'm a woman. *shocker* But I really don't understand women. Like we're really confusing people. We're not naturally confusing, society just teaches us to behave in certain ways that make us confusing. So society is all "Hey ladies, you should probably act really irrational," so we do. 

Here are some things I don't understand and will never understand about women.

1) We're really insecure

I think this is where a lot of our problems come from. We're taught to not accept compliments and critique our bodies, intelligence, and personality. Ladies, own those compliments. You're beautiful and probably really smart. And your personality may be awesome. And if it's not, work on that.

We're self-conscious about our bodies during sex (turn those lights off, you'll see my cellulite) and are so worried about losing our partner that we act really differently.

2) We can be possessive of our partner (or our casual hook-up)

This one has really bothered me recently because I don't get it. Your partner does not belong to you. They don't owe you anything except to treat you with respect.

And if we're dealing with a casual hookup, they really don't owe you anything. They can talk to other people. They don't have to text you all the time. Like stop it. Get over it. They have their own life. If you want them to be your boyfriend/girlfriend, then frickin' let them know. If not, then let them be their own person.

3) We don't communicate

This has a lot to do with what society teaches us. We're taught not to be direct and ask for what we want. This bothers me so much. People aren't mind readers. If you want something, ask for it. It's not that hard. Want to date someone? Ask them out. Want to have sex with someone? Ask them. Want to go to that new restaurant? Tell them. Don't make them guess and when they don't do what you want, you get mad at them. Because that's not cool. 

If you didn't communicate it, then you have zero right to be upset when they don't do what you want.

Women, am I right?

Let's start realizing that society teaches us to be really irrational people and change that. Because women, we're better than that. We can push babies out of our bodies. And run a company. No man can do that.
