8 Things Women Are Tired Of Hearing

In this era, where women have the ability to achieve whatever they want, whether it's their ideal career, a family, both or just being happy with whatever they want.

However, we are still being made to feel that we have to live up to certain expectations and are often questioned why, when we haven't made certain decisions.

Here are a few of the things women are tired of hearing.



1. When are you going to have children?

Is it so unheard of that women want other things in their lives other than becoming a mum? Women today have careers, have hobbies and are really fulfilled without having children. So the answer is, when and if they want them, it's none of your business.

2. I can't believe you're still single!

Women aren't defined by their marital status, but being constantly reminded of it is very tiresome, as they are aware of it. Women can be happy being single and be happy being in a partnership. Whatever it is, it doesn't need commenting on. 

3. Women shouldn't travel on their own.

Travelling is awesome and everyone should see parts of the world at some point whether that's with a group or by yourself. Being a woman isn't a hindrance in anything they want to do and instead of being put down by using their gender, they should be supported when they want to travel.

4. You're moody, is it that time of the month?

Everyone is aware that women get periods. Everyone. We do get moody and grumpy, just like every man does and what's their excuse? And we don't need you telling us the reason for our moods is our time of the month, maybe we're moody because we don't like spending time with you.

5. Maybe you're being too picky.

Why is that women need an excuse to be single, and why is this even classed as a bad thing? Women shouldn't settle on anything in their lives, whether that's career goals, family goals or relationship goals, so stop with the judgement and trying to make women feel bad for it.

6. Are you feeling okay/are you tired? (because you haven't got any makeup on)

Women shouldn't feel the pressure to constantly wear makeup. First of all it's good for the skin to have a break from all the crap we spread on our faces. Second of all, we look kick ass with and without make up and shouldn't be made to feel less of a woman without it.

7. You aren't getting any younger

Oh really? Because we all thought that women age backwards. We are well aware of how old we are and don't need the condescending attitude from people who think we aren't acting the appropriate way. So yes we know we aren't getting younger but we don't need your comments.

8. Aren't you worried that people might think you're a bitch?

Women shouldn't worry that having opinions and speaking open and honestly whilst being assertive is wrong. If it results in negative perceptions, so what? That just means people are feeling threatened by us. If we don't stand up for ourselves, whether it's telling someone at work to treat you with respect or responding to a catcall with 'fuck off' we will be trapped in the cycle of inequality and that's not okay. 

Frankly if you think it's annoying/offensive/rude to women, then it probably is and you shouldn't say it. Women are tired of hearing it.
