7 Signs Of A Misogynist Women

We all know that the bad boys are a law unto themselves, but to many women, it’s like a moth to a flame. There’s something addictive and somewhat thrilling about being around a guy with the bad boy label. But, sometimes bad boys have a tendency to allow their arrogance to turn into something altogether more sinister. If you’re wondering what’s a misogynist, or you want to know the signs of a misogynist, you’ve come to the right place.

You see, there is a moodiness and a mystery to the bad boys. They are the guys who live on the edge and don’t give a damn. They are the ones that have a permanent smirk and usually a great head of hair. But women need to look out for each other. These bad boys are often not all that respectful of women, and that’s not something you need in your life.

# He talks over women

Everyone is guilty of interrupting once in a while, but if he only does this when women are talking, he shows clear signs of being a misogynist.

Whether you, your friends, or even his mother, if he talks over women repeatedly and feels what he has to say is more important than anything you may have to say, he disrespects you and all other women. He may even hear a woman’s idea and reject it only to then claim it as his own.

# He criticizes your looks

A man that respects women will compliment you or say nothing at all. But if he continuously criticizes your style, makeup, or hair, he feels he has the right to. He thinks women must only care about their looks to impress him.

And this isn’t a man saying he prefers polka dots to floral prints. If a man tells you to cover up, that women who wear too much makeup look promiscuous, or that if you wear a short skirt, you’re asking for it, he is not just a misogynist but is promoting rape culture in our society. Men have no say in what you do or do not wear.

# He undermines your opinion

Men who despise women will cut them off when they are speaking and ignore them together. If you are concerned about something he will say, you’re crazy or emotional. He may even claim he knows better or that you aren’t smart enough to participate in a specific discussion.

# With every compliment is a criticism

Men who are misogynists know how to hide it at first. They may throw out the compliments, but they will always be physical. Men who see women as a lower class will tell a woman she is beautiful or hot but never compliment her mind.

He may even add an insult to every compliment. Saying something like you’re beautiful for a librarian. Or you shouldn’t waste your looks working in an office. He thinks he is complimenting you but is really solely defining you by your looks.

# He won’t take no for an answer

Misogynists seem to think women exist only to please them. They somehow believe we owe them something. If this man bought you a drink and you had no interest in talking to him or going home with him, he will make a fuss. He will say he bought you a drink, and now you owe him.

If he asks to dance or for a date and you say no, he will demand a reason why. And he will not accept that answer unless you say you have a boyfriend because he can only respect another man, not a woman. [Read: Accepting drinks from strangers – The things you need to know]

# He doesn’t take you seriously

Whether you share a concern about his behavior, your relationship, or even something like politics, he may nod along or say okay. Still, he won’t take a word you say seriously.A misogynist thinks that women’s opinions have no place in serious discussions.

# He respects men’s opinions

As misogynists hate and disrespect women, they will often care about their respect for other men. They will look up to men, listen to men, and confide in men. He will never go to a woman for advice or her opinion. He’s part of that guys-only club that he thinks is the most important thing in the world.
