Why are SOME middle-aged/old women so rude and entitled and think the world owes them something?

[Anonymous]

I am so utterly pissed right now. I've received so much rudeness and obnoxious behaviour from women in their fifties who behave like teenage girls. This fiftyish woman on the public transport today decided to shove me three times because i was apparently in her way, even though i was standing as close to the corner as possible and other people seemed to have no issue getting past me with ease. I was standing by the door, it was relatively crowded and not many places to hold onto, and this woman goes behind me and pushes me three times. I did not realize she was pushing me at first, but then when she got off she gave me some attitude and i finally realized she did it intentionally. I can't stand these types of individuals. I know i am not supposed to block doors woman, but during rush hours, would you prefer it if i sat in your lap? or perhaps would you prefer to have my ass in your face?

Some of these older women grunt, huff, roll their eyes, eye young women up and down, shake their heads, and act like they were nuns when they were my age. apparently, it is scandalous to wear skinny jeans and leather boots. i wonder what they wore in their 20s?

i have nothing against them personally. i know many middle-aged women and older ladies, and some of them are very dear to me and i love them very much (my mama, grandma, profs). but i can't stand rudeness and obnoxiousness. i don't care how old you are. just because you are fifty, you do not deserve more respect when you treat others like shit. just because you are old, gives you no right to shove others out of your way to make room for your high and mighty ass that does not have enough space even though other people seem to have no issue getting by. all she had to do was open her mouth (i'm sure she knows how to use it), and say excuse me, my ass does not have enough room to get past you. i need to walk through you in order to get off. please disappear or make yourself invisible. that would have been much nicer.

I know this isn’t a popular opinion... but it’s just that, an opinion... feminism lied to many women, or so they feel... they went after career instead of family and after 40 it begins to show when they realize they have 25 years of work left and 40 years potentially of singleness... so they’re pissed because they have to work and the 40 yr old men in their age bracket aren’t paying them any mind since they can date younger (jealous) ... statistically single women over 40 are most likely to live in poverty compared to single men and married women/men=pissed... combined with college debt (women hold like 80% not counting consumer debt)=pissed... combined with victim mentality = pissed...23% of women 40-59 are on antidepressants, higher than any other group=pissed... there are many stats that paint the picture as to why but usually the messenger is the bad guy if you point out that generally, broadly speaking, many women are not happy alone after 40 single and childless... you will see more of this as marriage and birth rates are lower and some women adopting “fur baby” attitude to fill the void of maternal instinct... it’s more normal to see a woman pushing a dog in a stroller than to see a family (mom, dad, children) at the park having fun together. That’s weird let that dog walk lol... crazy how families with gender roles, especially men as strong loving fathers is looked down upon yet people wonder why women are unhappy... they want a man and to be a feminine women in that role but are shamed to express that... unless she’s on onlyfans... that’s empowerment... another tidbit 4 u... women are making more money than men before age 33 after that men start making more... these career women don’t realize that every high paying job that women get is one less high paying job that a man gets. Usually women like to marry up. So if she’s making good money she’s going to want a man making even more. Guys who make a lot of money have choices so they most likely not going to date the 40 year old (or even 30 ) woman who puts career first... long story short the “you can have it all, do it all, girl power” chant combined with the competition of social media and the illusion of choice through dating apps (just because you have 1000likes or a hot guy will have sex with you doesn’t mean he will commit to you) has left many women unhappy as they hop from job to job guy to guy (when you’re always chasing you’ll eventually come up short)... not a trope against women I’m just saddened by the corner many are painting themselves in doing things like going into 100k debt for a psychology degree ( at least go into stem geez) to work at Starbucks and live with roommates after 35 cause she’s unmarried and living in the city... we also have about a 40% obesity rate for women in u. s. so that messes with a person’s happiness/well-being/attitude/self esteem as well... also many women are borderline alcoholics with the acceptance of wine culture. These are tale tale signs of underlying issues... “Sex and the City creator Candace Bushnell, 60, has admitted that she regrets choosing a career over having children as she is now 'truly alone'. ... Miss Bushnell, pictured, divorced her husband – ballet dancer Charles Askegard – in 2012 and said it made her realise the importance of starting a family.”-dailymail... isn’t sex and the city the epitome of the life women want today? ... even the creator says it leads to unhappiness... but hey I’m a guy what do I know?

I've noticed this in the business world a lot. Middle aged women are often the biggest bitches I have to put up with. Ultimately, I think it's because they are probably managers or in positions of power in certain parts of their lives and/or they're just arrogant because of experience. Just be a bitch back and they'll leave you alone.

[Rissyanne]

Sounds like you was wanting to goof off at work and she fired your ass.

[Inbox]

@Rissyanne No they work for me as contractors or they’re just secretaries, but only a stupid fossil like you would jump the gun.

[Rissyanne]

You just proved my point.

[Rissyanne]

And I don’t believe they work for you for a second

[Inbox]

@Rissyanne Man, the neurons in your brain aren’t firing like they used to are they old woman? You must be getting senile. Then again, looking at your picture - age has not been kind to you. 😂😂😂

[Rissyanne]

You don’t even show a pic. You must be ugly as fuck. Probably one of those incels.

[Inbox]

@Rissyanne You just proved the asker’s and my point twice - a middle aged woman who thinks herself tall when in reality, she’s as narrow minded and ugly as the fool who gave birth to her. 😂😂😂

[Rissyanne]

Very sad incel. So you can insult me but I can’t insult you. No wonder you can’t get laid.

[Inbox]

@Rissyanne Well, I understand your POV - if I was an ugly fat chicken 🐓, probably broke, and age hasn’t been kind to me, I’d probably be jumping to conclusions about everyone too.

I don’t believe for a second you work in Administrative positions.

[Rissyanne]

Lol think what you want incel. You probably have to jerk off every night. You are the one jumping to conclusions. But I’m bored with you now. Muting

[Inbox]

@Rissyanne Damn Ms. Dinosaur, it must be difficult to maintain your attention span at your age huh? Looks definitely aren't the only thing that age hasn't been kind to now ROFL. Then again, I feel horrible for the guy you're seeing having to fuck a dinosaur - I'm sure he could've done way better.

I'm 45 and have the abso! ute NERVE not to look or act like the 65 year old absolutely miserable women at work. The cattiness and wrong assumptions by them are 20x worse than in high school. If you have good cheer and nature, they act like you committed the most grievous sin against them. I feel like I'm in an episode of The Office every single day, sitting there like Jim with a resigned face. If I don't get all self conscious and sad, they literally start slamming drawers and pens down. It's almost comical, if it didn't impact office morale. Every office I've ever worked in, same. I've even cut my long blonde hair to try to appease them, and it worked. That's just really pathetic, I don't try to appease any of these miserable mediocre women any more. I thank God I don't waste precious energy and self respect AND dignity in being bitter and nasty toward younger, pretty women.

[Asker]

@Chilltfout84 man, why did you cut your pretty blond hair for those petty jealous bitches? i've seen some gorgeous older women who've aged gracefully. you are probably one of them, hence you probably look like a younger woman, so they need to safeguard their egos. i'm sure everyone gets jealous of others once in a while. we're human and we are not flawless. however, i don't start throwing tantrums or being vile and degrading when i see a woman that's thinner or prettier than me.

[Chilltfout84]

I'm an old lady myself, 45, but I don't feel that way, I feel like a happy kid in spirit, and my GOD do middle age and older women HATE me... I dress more modestly than most of them, act with more dignity and self control... Ie, they could be drunk in bathing suits at a pool party and me sober in a pair of shorts and tee, and they act as though I'm a jezebel, and being inappropriate, as they hang on my husband while I ignore theirs. It's weird af. I'm glad they hate me because it means I'm nothing like them. They only like other harsh, catty, miserable women. It's not an isolated incident, it happens everywhere. It's too bad they don't realize they are only hurting themselves. I cannot even imagine the self hatred and bitterness they feel 247. Not my problem, I refuse to join them.

[Asker]

well, good for you. you are probably a gorgeous woman inside and out. some women tend to hate those kind of creatures. i suppose women of all ages can be quite petty.

[Repa33]

People are like that. They're old and feel unattractive so, like children, they try and act better to make their own egos feel better.

[Asker]

dang. i am not going to become an old, jealous, spiteful woman. be proud you made it this far. young people never know when their life may be cut short. being old is an accomplishment. not you, i mean generally to old women.

[Repa33]

Its always the older ones though. Had an 80 year old call me every name in the book once

[dwiller943]

Tbh, women like that are so used to having shit handed to them
that when they are all alone and have to earn things, they get moody
and start being bitter towards the world.

FES - female entitlement syndrome

[Asker]

female entitlement syndrome? i don't know. i don't think i act this way, but i do notice a lot of women being cold and bitchy, especially towards men. one even expected a guy to stand up off his seat on the subway, and she was about my age and not even pregnant. the fuck?

[Opinion Owner]

I didn't mean to imply all women are that way. They are certainly not (thankfully).

[es20490446e]

They are more insecure.

[Rissyanne]

Why do millennials feel so entitled to everything?

[Asker]

we don't. we just don't understand why some middle-aged women feel the need to be rude and arrogant without a cause. if i am not being rude and rolling my eyes at you and shoving you out of my way and pushing you up against the door, then you shouldn't either. use your words if you have a problem, not your actions. as i said, not all middle-aged women are this way, but i've noticed a lot of bitter ones to know that there are a significant number who behave this way. i know some young people are rude and obnoxious as well, but i wasn't being obnoxious, and i was as close to the corner as possible. can you explain to me how i should have dealt with her, considering that you seem to think her behaviour was appropriate? maybe if it happened to your daughter you'd think otherwise.

[Rissyanne]

When did I say I thought her behavior was appropriate. And yes millennials do feel entitled.
