Signs Someone Is A Woman Hater!

1. He thinks women are only good for one thing

And my goodness does that one thing fluctuate! One minute he thinks you should be a domestic goddess, the house a gleaming beacon of your devotion to him, and the next he's baffled as to why you're not acting like the vixen he wants you to be. He wants Jessica Rabbit in an apron and that's not what you thought this relationship was. He doesn't see you as a fully realised woman, only a role in his life.

2. He believes a woman's place is in the kitchen

The first thing he says when he walks through the door is not "how are you, my love?" or "how was your day?". It's "what are we having for dinner?". It's not the nicest feeling in the world knowing he's only looking at you with adoration in his eyes because you made the key lime pie his mother used to make him. You are so much more than just your culinary capabilities.

3. He doesn't get on with women in the office

You've never heard the b-word so much in your life. His issues at work are never with Steve or Dave or Mike. He feels supported, appreciated and respected by all the other men. Whenever he talks about the women in the office, it's almost as though he's saying they shouldn't be there, bothering him and his buds. They nag him, or belittle him, or undermine him. He doesn't speak as though they're equal to him, but more like they're a nuisance.

4. He hates rom-coms

"Big mistake. Big. HUGE!". You could quote these movies in your sleep, but to him, they're chick flicks. While you whoop and holler when Elle Woods finally wins the case, he rolls his eyes and scoffs, mumbling how "that would never happen in real life". You just wanted a nice Sunday evening watching your favorite film, but he can't help and suck the fun out of it.

5. Romance makes him sick

Image Source: Reddit

When was the last time he bought you flowers? When was the last time he cooked you dinner? Or took you out on a date? He doesn't understand the need to appreciate you. He won't acknowledge that you might need to be swept off your feet every now and again. He says it's corny. He says roses are expensive. He laughs when you initiate any kind of romance, asking instead for a beer. Maybe it's time to listen to Miley...

6. He only has male friends

Image Source: Reddit

You think this is what they call a red flag. While some of your friends have commented that "you would only be jealous" if he was spending time with other women, you're slightly concerned that this means that women don't choose to be his friend. Do they see something that you don't? If he had more female friends, wouldn't that mean that, by proxy, you would too? And you love the guys, but wish he was slightly more influenced by a feminine energy. Men give the worst advice.

7. He stifles your independence

Image Source: Reddit

Have you ever come home after a girls' night and found your partner still up, watching soccer and tapping his watch? Or suggested the idea of a holiday with your friends and he's come back with "but you need to be here. You can't go without me"? A man who questions every time you want to go and do something without him, is a man who cannot bear the idea of you being independent.

8. He hates Taylor Swift

Image Source: Reddit

Or Beyonce, or Adele, or any one of the fierce, independent women who lives in your playlists. It's not just that he finds the music cheesy, but he hates the message of it, whether it's to "Shake It Off" or to ask "who run the world?" (spoiler alert: it's girls). He can't see the fun in this music, finds it pointless, and won't even humour you one song on a road trip. It's Eminem or bust.

9. He makes jokes at women's expense

He doesn't mince his words when it comes to degrading women with his comedy. You've never seen a man laugh so hard. You cringe every time he repeats the locker room talk he picks up with the guys at the gym, and it's starting to make you sick. These jokes bother you because even though they're laughing, you know you're the brunt of the joke. Will he ever learn to keep some things just between the two of you?

10. He doesn't get on with your mom

Image Source: Reddit 

This is especially true when it comes to plans i.e. childcare, birthdays, parenting etc. He thinks she's too opinionated, too loud, maybe she drinks too much, she needs to keep quiet and your dad needs to get better control of his wife. You love him, but will he ever appreciate everything your mom has done for you both? She's your hero, and it breaks your heart that he can't cut her a break.

11. He doesn't have any sisters

Image Source: Reddit

He wasn't raised in a house of girls, so he doesn't understand them. He doesn't have the emotional intelligence of someone who grew up with sisters or even female friends. He can be messy, rude, disrespectful and ignorant, and there's a big part of you that knows that it's because he didn't have any strong female presences in his life growing up. He couldn't get comfortable with women as a kid, so as a man, he struggles to no end.

12. He thinks women should be paid less

Image Source: Reddit

He thinks that if a man and a woman are both doing the exact same job, then the woman should be paid less. Why? Because "she'll get pregnant and have 2 years off, while I'm sat working my butt off 9 to 5, 24/7". He makes gross assumptions on women's intentions without thinking. When you suggest that maybe his colleagues don't want kids, he argues that all women want children. He doesn't listen to you and it only exacerbates the problem.

13. He doesn't believe in 'self-care'

Image Source: Reddit

You love your skin care! Exfoliating, cleansing, moisturising, picking out all your serums! It brings you a sense of calm and you need that, especially after a hard day. He thinks it's a waste of money and time that you will lose interest in in no time. It doesn't matter how you feel about it. He disagrees with it, thinks it's ridiculous, and he wants it out of his house.

14. He doesn't think women are equal

Image Source: Reddit

This is a biggie. It's the biggest red flag there is. He fundamentally believes that men and women are not and should not be equal. He thinks that men are just on a higher level than women, both mentally and physically. He uses it as a basis of disrespect, for all his off-comments and little jokes at the expense of women. He can't and won't take you seriously, and it reeks of misogyny.

15. He's unlucky in love

Image Source: Reddit

Regardless of age, he has never been in a successful relationship. It started with his mother - they never got on those two - and it's seeped its way into all his romantic relationships since then. He has never found someone he wants to spend the rest of his life with, or introduce to his friends, and he refers to all his exes as "crazy

". Love doesn't come easy to him, or in any way at all.

16. He catcalls constantly

Image Source: Reddit

He could be anywhere. On the street, he almost leers at women. In the office, he's been known to tell his colleagues to smile. Everywhere he goes, he finds a way to make women uncomfortable with his remarks. He doesn't see them as people who are just trying to get on with their day, but as objects he needs to constantly comment on and scrutinise. It's an ugly trait, and one he doesn't seem to be losing any time soon.

17. He thinks he's perfect

Image Source: Reddit

So. Many. Gym. Selfies. He thinks he is God's gift to women and men alike, and that he is so gracious to allow us to see him on Instagram Live doing an average 20 push-ups before his camera suddenly cuts away. He flips his hair, winks without abandon, and finds it a struggle to apologise. Why would he? He's never done anything wrong a day in his life *eye roll*.

18. He blames women for his problems

Image Source: Reddit

His hair is falling out? It's because of the stress women call him. He had to work late at the office? It's because he had to catch up on his female employee's workload. He got into a fender bender? The driver (of course a woman) was too busy looking at herself to see him! He has no remorse for his own actions and finds it incredibly easy to blame it on women. Sorry is not a word in his vocabulary.

19. He has a big opinion on women's bodies

Image Source: Reddit

Women's bodies take up roughly 65% of his conversational talking points. He can't seem to talk about a woman without commenting on her appearance in some way. He argues that Kate Moss was too skinny, that Kim K is not skinny enough, that women shouldn't have surgery, but in the same breath says that anyone over 40 looks old. He called Margot Robbie mid the other day and you still can't get your breath back. He has big opinions on a topic that, frankly, does not concern his in the least.

20. He listens to Joe Rogan

Image Source: Reddit

If you don't know who Joe Rogan is, good for you. He is a podcast host and seasoned misogynist who promotes conspiracy theories about the moon, barely speaks to women, and brings known misogynists to a wider audience who may never have known them otherwise. He loves an opportunity to degrade women or call them manipulative. If this man features on your partner's subscriptions, run.

21. He loves to mansplain (and manspread)

Image Source: Reddit

You can have literally said the same thing not 30 seconds ago, but to this man, that doesn't matter. He didn't hear you. He wants to over-explain something simple to make you feel tiny and inferior. Pair that with over-extended legs and you can feel your hope diminishing that this will be an open, respectful conversation. And if you even comment on a superhero film or the F1 or your favorite beer, get ready to be told everything you already knew.

22. He zones out when a woman starts talking

Image Source: Reddit

You can have been chatting with the group for twenty minutes when you hear a "what was that?". You glance over to see this man with his phone out, Instagram Reels playing, and a dissociated look in his eyes. He then proceeds to repeat half of what you've just said because he had zoned out the entire time. It's completely disrespectful and incredibly rude, but how do you call it out when you know he'll turn around and call you the b-word without so much as a thought?

23. He believes Feminism is redundant

Image Source: Reddit

Rosie who? He readily scoffs and rolls his eyes whenever women's rights come up in conversation. You caught him in an intense trolling session on Twitter with a 14 year old girl about Rosa Parks the other day. He argues that we're past the point of Feminism and women just need to understand that they will never be equal to men. How do you have a meaningful debate with someone who doesn't believe in women's right to vote?

24. He has no boundaries with women

Image Source: Reddit

In all regards. It doesn't matter whether it's physical, mental or emotional, he does not give women the space to breathe. A classic example: when a male colleague is having a conversation with you at your desk and he leans in just a little too close, places an arm on your shoulder and his coffee breath knocks you sideways. This man doesn't respect you and doesn't understand the basis of consent.

25. He doesn't trust women

Image Header: Reddit

If you are making chilli, he doesn't trust that you will make sure his favorite chillis are being used. If you're helping the kids with their math homework, he doesn't trust you know how to do multiplication. If you're filling out a report for a client, he will do it too, just to make sure the correct one is being sent off. He does not believe in you or trust you to do the job that needs to be done, and has to do everything himself.

26. He finds women too emotional

Image Source: Reddit

And he just loves to blame it on your period. Every emotion you have is too much, too taxing on him, to take you seriously. There's never any comfort or support with what you're trying to do or say, and he decides the best course of action is to mock you. When he comes in for the hug, he tells you to shush, or reminds you that "you're being silly", completely invalidating your emotions and downplaying what you're going through.

27. He hated Barbie (The Movie)

Image Source: Reddit

This one might be the worst one on the whole list. You could see the light in his eyes when Ken slowly started trying to change BarbieLand, but before that, he just looked so bored. He didn't laugh. He didn't even a crack a smile. He went with you so he could say he had and then complain about it to his friends. It wasn't about spending quality time with you. And he laughed at you when you cried at the end. Not sublime, not sublime one bit.

28. He can't stand talkative women

Image Source: Reddit

He will find any excuse to not listen to women. You can see him lose interest, start playing on his phone, completely ignoring what women are saying. He especially dislikes it when these women are older than him (is it because they know more than him? Probably). He finds talkative women draining, while you find them interesting, inspiring and wise. He will diminish women at every turn, and never bat an eyelid.

29. He doesn't take women seriously

Image Source: Reddit

It's a respect thing, without a doubt. He believes in the hierarchy of men, unironically loves the patriarchy, and doesn't have any time with women. At home, he believes they should cater to his every whim. At work, he wants them to stay as assistants rather than treat them as colleagues. He voted for Trump because he thought the whole idea of a woman president was laughable. He is not an advocate for women, and never will be.

30. He hates reality TV

Image Source: Reddit

While you can think of nothing better than watching Taylor and Tamra critique Heather's IMDB page and the fallout that will ensue, he would rather stick needles in his eyes. Real Housewives, Below Deck, The Bachelor - these programmes bring you joy and he should be able to appreciate that. Instead he hates on Andy Cohen and quickly changes the channel to boxing, once again. If only he knew aggressive those reunion episodes got (Kenya v Porsha, anybody?)...
