SexismFreddie Woo tells us: Despite being a well rounded modern man I think women are best off getting married and having a few kids else they'll be absolutely miserable come middle age.
What views do you have that are probably sexist that you believe are true?

flirtingi got a bit angry the other day when one of my best friends started up a rant about women's rights and equal opportunities. she's lovely most of the time but has a bit of a blind spot when it comes to men.
she's very pretty and not unaware of the fact. this means that she'll use it. not to get her own way but definitely to get by. she's flirty with all our mutual friends. i mean that kind of play fight, teasing stuff. it wouldnt be so bad except ... inevitably ... someone gets pissed off when they realise that this doesn't mean anything and that she isn't interested.
the pattern is ... they clock, she gets angry because they've stopped talking to her so much and there is a fall out.
it is ridiculous to stop talking to someone purely on the basis that they won't go out with you. that much is true so she does have a right to be annoyed. but when its happened a couple of times, you'd have to either think that you are incredibly unlucky or that in some way, you could prevent it.
now, im not saying a bit of flirty behaviour is bad but if a bloke smooth talks more than one girl then everyone is suspicious but if a girl flirts with more than one boy at a time then she has a much easier time getting away with it.

Flirting means different things to women than it does to menIf a man flirts with a woman, it generally means that he's interested in her - and the flirting is a way to let her know that.
When a woman flirts with a man, however, it generally means nothing of the sort: she's just having a bit of fun.
Unfortunately, most men don't know this - and more to the point, most women DON'T KNOW that most men don't know this.
If a man knows a woman's flirting with him, then to him, that's a signal that she's interested.
Women: please don't flirt with us unless you're actually interested in us. Most of us don't know that you don't mean anything by it.

trust me at least some women DO know that men DON'T knowthe lure of flattery is all too much. the proof? i have confronted a friend and she admitted 'i know he fancies me'. she just denied the flirtation.
