I don't date stupid feminists good riddance

Not in and of itself. Call her on it, and ask her to explain- then justify- it. If she can, does she realize that sexist ad hominem attacks are bad and apologize? If so, she's cool- forgive and move on. If not, then you've got a problem.

Women aren't held to the same standards of accountability that men are, but that doesn't mean they're incapable of it. Show her that what she says and does matters to you, and at least give her a chance to make it right.

yeah if she uses words like that, you know she's cringe. That being said, stay with her anyway. Those girls are horny af and they get freaky-deaky

[Joker_]

send her my way. I'll mansplain all over her ass

[stratford]

I'm not a big fan of this term, but until guys stop using similar insults for women, we should accept it as the norm.

It is a huge put down though and it means your partner doesn't respect your views. The other way around it would be considered sexist.

[CrazyGirl2]

Break-up because she used a word? Then yes, b/c you clearly don’t care about her if you would even THINK about breaking-up just because she said a word you don’t like! Spare her the humiliation of finding out later that all this time she was in love with someone who cared so little for her, he put the future of the relationship up to an internet poll just because she used a word you object to.

[AmyHew1tt]

Not just for using the word. It's totally fair that you didn't like it, but you need to explain that. There are things guys say or do to girls as well that make them feel disrespected. So have a conversation with her, then give her time to process it.

[MCheetah]

F*ck yes! That is a BIG ASS red flag!

[TheUniqueOne96]

If she were saying it as a joke, then no, but if she's actually one of the feminist type that pull fancy terms out of their ass, then yes.

[Levin]

Some friend suggested I was man-splaining some girl type thing. I found it rather funny.

[joeldalton]

100%. You don't need that nonsense in your life.

[LiamJHayden]

I probably would dump a girl who used a term like that.

[Anonymous]

She's a feminist, instant red flag. I'd drop her instantly. She's definitely not wife material.

[Anonymous]

Yes!!! Dump her immediately!!! That is automatic grounds for breakup

[Opinion Owner]

If she used that term she is going to make your life a living hell. I had an ex friend who used that term and she was the biggest man hater misandronist and closeted lesbian you'll ever meet. As soon as she said that it was an instant red flag and soon after all her man hating red flags soon appeared less then a month later. It was one after another after another. Dump her before she really hurts you and things get out of hand

[msc545]

yes!

[Opinion Owner]

If she ever days that to you, you tell her to womansplain her response and while she rambles on put both of your index fingers in both of your ears stick your tongue out and go blah blah blah i can't hear you. Then (this next part is crucial) grab your dick and balls right in front of her and own your instincts and do what DX (from wwe) would do as well

[DizzyDesii]

You're joking right

[Slim57]

I hate that term

[DizzyDesii]

I dont blame you but dont you need a little more beef of a reason to dump her

[Slim57]

Yeah true it's just disrespectful asf

[DizzyDesii]

Tell her that and then let her know that you werent being condescending and ask why she felt it came off that way

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao you broke up

[katiesmuff]

YOU Break up with her! More like her choice

[sirderpsalot123]

I would just laugh about it and make fun of her

[Juxtapose]

Hahaha she couldn't have been serious 😂

[LimitedBenefits101]

Throw that 304 out of the door.
