1. That men don't gossip/slander. They do it and at an even worse scale.

2. That men can't "handle" listening to or being exposed to "women problems". Any adult man who cannot handle topics like periods, sexual health, pregnancy, childbirth etc should firstly not even engage in relationships with women, but it's pathetic how even women tend to hide these stuff from their partners. I'm fully transparent about all these topics with my boyfriend and it's sad how he's dated so many girls before but I'm the first person to be teaching him this stuff.

3. That arousal and erection are the same thing. You can have arousal non-concordance aka you can be aroused without being erect and vice versa, one example is getting the morning wood.

Men think that vaginas get loose the more sexual partners you have.  Women are naturally better at caregiving. Intact hymen means their a virgin. Women can control their periods like its pee.

jennifer_bloom · Answer

I think a lot of woman assume that intelligent guys who are successful in their careers do not have insecurities, or that guys that don't make a lot and are not highly educated are more insecure and have lower standards. I find this is not always true. You have uneducated guys that are very picky about who they date and you have highly educated guys that are easy going and not picky about a girls education.

AviatorTom · Answer

Both sexes believe that all members of the opposite sex would be good parents if they had kids. Not true, there are some people who really shouldn't have kids.

That all angry men are angry because they don't get enough sex. As if being the target of a witch hunt, being made to fear for your life, having police snooping on you for some unclear reason, not being able to eat your dinner in peace, being threatened by some meddling busybody if you and a woman are seen trying to have a conversation about literally anything, hearing insane lies be spread about you, and developing PTSD from all of it doesn't lead to anger.

As if repeatedly seeing far too many reports of justice being perverted doesn't lead to boiling blood.

As if a*holes way too sure of themselves doesn't lead to a desire to put the fear of God back in them!

As if housing market rates don't inspire despair that independent living will remain a pipe dream.

As if seeing reporting of the news get replaced with really obvious gaslighting doesn't ignite fantasies of taking a bazooka to the doors of the corrupt, and Picassoing their smug faces!

As if there's nothing else that can drive a man to dream about steamrollers and ice picks.

Nope, it's gotta be the sex. Because every man is Elliot Roger, and there's no possible other motive that can exist. There are Heemeyers out there, but some women will only acknowledge Elliot Roger. Because Heemeyers make them have to actually think.

It's beyond pathetic, but I run into it everywhere.

inhua · Answer

the biggest myth is that the worst traits of humanity came from men from cheating to superficiality to lying to bullying to lack of empathy to discrimination e. g. racism

a lot of men today have been feminized and engage in a lot bad feminine behaviors like gossiping, spreading lies, slander, character assassination, shame tactics all of which began with women

men even started wars over women and many stories and religious texts have been written as a warning for men not to simp even though historically it was women who inspired men to do many terrible things from ostracizing genetic defects from the gene pool to wiping out entire species of wild animals like giant cave bears and sabre-tooth cats

Kabluie · Answer

Not too long ago a sibling said to me out of the blue "why are women bad with money?" and i immediately responded that's kind of a misogynic thing to say. Then they immediately got so defensive and said they didn't say all, but most. Well it wasn't implied that way, and that they have conscious bias. This is the reason why there are men that say stupid stuff like "maybe you should ask your partner/husband", because they assume the woman cannot be the bread winner or manage their own wealth.

Second, they asked the question in a leading way like I'm supposed to be an echo chamber. They tried to make me defend my stance and I could name many people in my life whom are way more successful then they are. It goes to show how out of touch they are with reality basically. It's gross to compare their small experience to an entire sex.

Siri137 · Answer

Well, the belief that women are illogical and overly-emotional, and that because of this cannot be relied upon to be rational and impartial, is definitely 100% FALSE. I often see this lie in the comments and MyTakes here on GAG, from blue account-holders who like to brag about how they've swallowed some red pill.

petitedollbabee · Answer

Can’t think of anything that is truly just a myth. All myths have some truth to them. Any “myth” that I could think of, there’ll be someone replying to me saying “oh, but my ex did that, so that’s not a myth”.

Beautyblossom2 · Answer

Women think that if men are showing signs of love, they actually desire them only & would choose them over anyone else.

Men think that women dress up for themselves all the time when in reality, it's mostly for male attention & less for them. [over time, women's (a good fraction of them) own self acceptance/happiness gets wrapped those uncomf. outfits]

Meropatrick · Answer

Some women think that all men are cruel and evil and want to hurt women

When in reality men are much kinder than women, women can be really cruel and merciless. Of course there are Some batshit crazy cruel males. But that doesn't mean that they r not the psychopaths who are usually in prison. Or lives outcasted in the barrel bottom of society.

ShellyB · Answer

Sometimes I think the biggest myth is that the "myths" are false. A lot of the stereotypes people have exist for a reason! But I guess one I'll give is, guys think we are always ready and hoping to have a stranger walk up and start talking to us, I don't think they put themselves in our shoes in those situations. JMO!

richardcory · Answer

That members of the other gender are somehow similar enough to each other to be treated as a group. Ignoring the huge differences between people

fonduegirl · Answer

That vagina gets looser if you have many partners or high body count. I mean,  what.

worldscolide · Answer

This is one I just discovered today. That men are somehow stupid and that we are too stupid to understand when we are being manipulated.

Guys if you come across a woman who believes that, run the fuck away. You will thank your self for doing thst.

Unit1 · Answer

I'll take this as a pass to generalize in a semi-serious manner.

Women think there is no man, who does not love beer. Or that all heterosexual men only want housemaid sex slave types of women, who are virgins (and to have more than 1 wife like that).

That they are monoliths, and everything is known and understood.  It would put a lot of psychologists and writers out of business, if everything was known or understood about the opposite gender.

DarkLegacy · Answer

DermalPunch · Answer

Men think women only want them for their money. Blanketly.

Anonymous · Answer

Men feel the need to cry/talk about their feelings, but because of "toxic masculinity", they don't. The reality is most don't talk about about their feelings and get through life just fine. It's even been proven that talk therapy doesn't work for men.

Anonymous · Answer

Women think men look down and take advantage of women for being submissive and nurturing because they don't want that in a man.  Men think women overreact when it comes to our period but we don't

Anonymous · Answer

I guess not so much a myth when you're older but when I was young, I didn't think a girls feet ever got sweaty and smelly. Imagine the shock the first time I actually realized a girls feet can actually stink!

msc545 · Answer

Women have this myth that tall or strong men can defend them better. Women don't have a clue about protection.

Anonymous · Answer

Men dont think women can be successful in having casual sex/not getting attached. It happens all the time. And the typical: women dont think men are capable of real emotions.

Anonymous · Answer

Women think playing hard to get is a successful strategy. I think men's biggest misconception is that women are self confident about their looks and overly judgmental about men's bodies.
