Normal to be offended when someone tells you you are typical (wo)men?

i don't know why..but when someone tells me that i'm acting like a typical woman or that i'm such a girl ,it kind of bothers me...i am aware that it's not supposed to be offensive,because we are all different and being a typical girl is a normal thing of course hahah and i'm a girl too ..i just think it's because i don't want to be typical haha it's stupid but...i still feel a bit dissapointed in myself or something like that when i hear that...

    No, you should not get offended by anything like that. If you get offended by that kind of stuff, then it's your own fault.

    Anyone who uses the phrases "typical man" or "typical woman" is a typical moron, given that there are no such people. Ignore such idiots, and also the contributors on here who are perpetuating stupid outdated stereotypes.

    And yes, it is intended to be derogatory, even if unintentionally.

    "Typical Woman" and "such a girl" are usually meant to be at least somewhat offensive - and are usually said because you tend towards being "whiney and complaining princess".

    So, the solution is simple - stop whining and complaining!

    Alternately, own your inner bitchy princess, and tell the world to go take a long walk off a short pier. You should be true to yourself (even if that truth is that you are a whiney complaining princess).

  • Typical girl, whining about her special snowflake syndrome.

    If you don't want to be a typical girl, try learning a skill of some kind. If you're not completely useless at everything, nobody can rightfully call you a typical girl.

    You can also try to cut back on the lying and attention seeking.

      You're quite a catch. Surely you're not single. Who wouldn't want to be told they're completely useless at everything purely because of their gender...

      I bet they're lining up out the door...

            No, but you are the one who used this site as a dating platform (of all things). Something it wasn't made for at all. Who did you meet by the way? Someone in the next state or within driving distance?

            Oh no, someone 10,000 miles away. You have all the credibility and room to talk all you want about others dating lives though...like you don't look stupid at all...

              How is a chance meeting online any less valid than a chance meeting elsewhere? Or how a chance meeting is "using this site as a dating platform"?

              Seriously. Explain to me how finding someone so awesome, you're willing to make huge sacrifices for them, makes that relationship less viable than a couple who met randomly at a party.

              You're so sad.

    Yeah, I don't like being called a typical girl either.
    Mostly cause I'm a guy.
