Some men think they know women better than women know themselves. Whether itโs from misinformation, arrogance, or something else entirely, these assumptions often range from humorous to downright shocking. Statements from the subredditย r/NotHowGirlsWorkย reveal just how absurd these beliefs can be, providing both laughs and eye rolls. Here, weโve gathered some of the most outrageous things men have said about women and their bodies.
1. โI Know It Doesnโt Belong Here But After So Many Misogynistsโฆโ

Ironically, this accusation of โvictim-playingโ is often a tactic to avoid accountability.
35. โI Have Warrantsโ
In a completely baffling twist, one user tries to justify an outlandish belief by saying, โI have warrants,โ as if their questionable legal history somehow adds credibility to their opinion. Itโs a reminder that some people will double down on nonsense rather than admitting they might be wrong.

Hopefully, one day, weโll reach a point whereย r/NotHowGirlsWorkย wonโt even be necessary, and everyone will approach each other with respect, empathy, and a bit more understanding.
