26 Things Men Blindly Assume About Women That Are Actually Wrong

On a human level, men and women are the same. We are all just humans who deserve equal rights, opportunities, and other things like that. Hopefully, you get the gist. 

At the same time, there are some distinct differences between them (whose existence doesn’t permit discrimination!). For instance, men and women have some biological differences, most notably with the reproductive system. It should be noted when we bring this up that we only have differences between sexes in mind; we are not talking about various gender identities; that’s a whole other topic. 

Not to mention the gender (or sexes) roles that are very prevalent in society even nowadays. From the time girls and boys are little, they are told that certain things can be done only by one of the sexes or that they have to act in a certain manner that’s expected of their gender, and not the other way around. 

With time, such toxic lessons get ingrained in the mind, and gender norms become prevalent within people, even if they’re nonsensical. In fact, Wikipedia is listed as a phenomenon that belongs under the umbrella of discrimination discourse.

Sadly, this drives quite a rift between the sexes in society, which leads to some misunderstandings from time to time. For example, one party has wrong assumptions about the other. 

That’s what today’s list is about – wrong assumptions. To be more specific, men assumed incorrect things about women and, fortunately, were shown how inaccurate their beliefs were. 

In this collection of short stories, you will find things like men believing that all women are basically the same or that they’re basically different species from men. Of course, there’s a story about a man believing that all women are gold diggers, too. 

We hopefully don’t have to tell you that such an idea is nonsense, do we? But have you ever wondered where it even comes from? After all, not all women are those so-called gold diggers. Actually, men are more likely to be them than women, and yet the stereotype is more prevalent in women.  

Well, someone on Reddit also wondered about a similar thing and got quite a few interesting theories as answers. We especially liked one of them. 

Here, someone that’s it’s men basically punching down instead of up. Essentially, patriarchy expects men to be masculine – assertive, financially successful, stable, and all things like that. And so, instead of blaming the system, men blame women for expecting those gender norms of them, dubbing them as gold diggers. 

Well, that’s just a theory coming from a netizen, but who knows, they might be onto something, right? At once, it’s also one of the wrong assumptions that are featured on this list. So, we encourage you to check out the rest of them, and don’t forget to give out some upvotes!
