5. “A red flag is when a man openly calls women ‘slut’ behind your back. It’s an obvious red flag when he does it to your face, but it’s even more concerning when he clearly understands that it’s wrong (at least insofar as he thinks you’ll ‘overreact’ if he says it around you) but doesn’t care enough to change his behavior across the board. It’s a sign that he has a very narrow idea of what a ‘good woman’ should be. And when you become a ‘bad’ person in his eyes, he’s more likely to complain to all his friends.” You will be the next ‘bitch’.”

10. “Unsolicited generalizations about women are a sign that a man is red-haired. I used to watch a horse training channel on YouTube and noticed that every third video a trainer would take a jab at women, completely unintentionally. ‘People take foals away from their mothers to bottle-feed them when it’s unnecessary…Mostly WOMEN do this.’ Like what? This is so pointlessly sexist and provocative. It added nothing to the discussion. I realized this was his general disdain for women engaging in irrelevant topics. He’s not the only person I’ve seen do this. “Anyone who frivolously genders an issue or critique is definitely hiding an agenda.”

11. “Before I met my husband, I remember going on a few dates and the guy asking me what I did for a living and how much I made. It was weird.

HBO
