From weird myths about hormones to clueless takes on female biology, these sexist “explanations” about women are so out of touch, they’ve earned a whole subreddit of their own. If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at someone confidently saying something completely wrong about women, this list will definitely hit home.

Being a woman can be seriously exhausting.
And it’s not just about thinking ahead to stay safe in situations others might never worry about, or juggling a 28-day hormonal cycle, or even having to work extra hard just to be seen and succeed at work. On top of all that, women still have to sit through men confidently—and usually incorrectly—talking about their bodies, their lives, and what it’s supposedly like to be a woman, like they somehow know it all.
This kind of thing happens so frequently that Reddit has an entire community just for it—Not How Girls Work. It’s a space where the internet’s most hilariously off-base opinions about women get the roasting they deserve. People can come together here to cringe, laugh, and bond over the absurdity.
