10 Compliments Men Give That Are Simply Sexist (Stop Now!!)

Boys, take note because we’re about to show you a mirror and it ain’t looking pretty. For way-too-long now women have been subjected to casual sexism and we’re not having it anymore. Don’t say the following things even if you think they are compliments in your head. Plain speak – they are not and were never flattering to begin with. Here are 10 compliments men give that are sexist!

1. “You’re not like other girls.”

You mean I’m not strong, resilient, sensitive, and overall awesomesauce? Well then, f*ck you!

2. “You’re really funny for a girl.”

You’re about to be punched in the face and guess what; you’re about to learn something new today. I’m also very strong; you know, for a girl.

I distinctly remember not asking you for your unnecessary opinion on the matter. Like, ever.

8. “You cook so well – totally marriage material!”

I really hope you find a nice maid to marry since your priorities are pretty clear.

9. “You’d look really cute as a typical housewife.”

And you’d look really cute as…oh…wait…that ship sailed when you opened your mouth and spoke.

10. “You’re an excellent secret keeper, you know, for a girl.”
