What's something a man said recently that makes you madder the more you think about it?

[Anonymous]

I was talking to a guy friend and he asked me how I felt. I told him that i was having issues now and know for sure im going to have issues on Monday. I was trying to be polite by circling about having period cramps. He asked if he could help. I said it's no way he could help. He insisted that he could do something. I asked him, what and at the same time I told him that it was "girl issues". He said he knew that, that he wasn't dumb and he could give me moral support. Then he added "Let's call them woman issues, you're a lady" It made me squint. I don't like the fact that he said that even though I know what he means. I've been going through this problem since I was a girl. why can't I say it's girl problems? That's how society treat underage girl as soon as they have their period. They're women now, no they're still girls. At the same time, they dont fund health research programs and take women's pain seriously. They say you've been dealing with it since you've been a kid and women are over- exaggerating. Im not calling it a female issue. Every species deals with this differently.
I let it go for the moment but then as we continue texting he said that he knows he looks smart but he's not a doctor. Since I was about to put my phone away i just liked the last couple of texts as acknowledgment. He texted me not to like the doctor text😐 I don't know why he's mad after telling me what to call my issues that'll he'll never experience. He's not a doctor so it's fact.

So you’re mad that he didn’t treat you like a baby? You’re mad how he said things? Basically your hormones were in control. At least he was trying to help. I see why a lot of men steer clear of women. You try to help but somehow still end up as the bad person. You have a lot of issues. Maybe you should go fix them. You’re not a little girl, grow up. Those are lady issues regardless of you starting your cycle when you were a girl. Maybe you’re just mad you’re aging, realizing you’re not a little girl anymore. As for you saying they don’t fund health research programs or takes women’s health as serious, maybe you should read more as to why. It’s not because men collectively decided screw women let them suffer, we’ll keep the money for ourselves. There sure is a big push every year for breast cancer awareness month. You know when a lot of people wear pink including professional major league teams. For some reason you don’t see a big push for testicular cancer month, people wearing shirts that say save the testicles. No I’m not complaining about it, just making a comparison.

When men read to clap back instead of reading to understand 👆
My post : im mad about this and hear's why?
Men: shut up. You shouldn't be mad
You got issues... me, me, me women aren't doing this for men
You should be grateful that he offered

No you’re mad at how he used his words. What he said is still true. You’re just mad at how he said something.

[Asker]

Uh yeah, words have meanings
and expressing the truth incorrectly doesn't mean you are right

[Opinion Owner]

Words only have meaning if you giving it meaning. Stop being a big baby.

He was trying. That’s more than a lot of guys do. At least he got it once you said they were girl issues.

[Asker]

That's not what was wrong...

[Opinion Owner]

Sorry. Maybe I’m missing the point. Why did you get so offended? Because he was pretending to have empathy for girl problems when he really couldn’t know what it was like to have them?

[Asker]

He told me not to call them girl problems. He wants me to call it women problems like it's immature to call it girl problems
"Im a lady" that coming from a man
And an experience women have dealt with since they were girls
At the same time, he's there for " moral support"

[Opinion Owner]

Ok yeah that does sound patronizing

How close a friend is this guy?

[Asker]

a year of knowing each other

[Opinion Owner]

I’d forgive him. It was an insensitive thing to say, but not worth losing a friendship over.

[Asker]

What does that even mean

[rachel776]

@NathanDavis could probably explain it...

[spartan55]

What makes you think he is mad?

[spartan55]

I still have no clue why you are mad either.
