  • I understand, and, agree. When a guy tells "his woman" what to wear, do, or how to be, it comes off as controlling and even threatening. To that, though, I'd say to the woman..It's up to you to stay with him or not. You're more than free to stop being with the guy.

    • I'm not talking about abuse within the context of a relationship, which is what you're describing there. That's abusive behavior. I'm talking about unsolicited advice from men who just feel entitled to tell me how I think I should look and by no means am I the only woman this happens to. It doesn't matter what the woman in question looks like, many, many, many men will feel entitled to tell her what he thinks of her appearance and how she should change it to be more appealing to men, nevermind what the man in question looks like himself. This is an issue of entitlement, autonomy, and respect. Honestly, how often do men who don't know each other tell each other how they should look so that women will find them attractive? Would you shout that advice at a man you see walking down the street, say, on his way home from work or the gym, or stop him in the grocery store when he's just picking up a few things? This kind of stuff happens to women all the time. I wasn't literally asking if it's normal that I'm pissed off about it. I'm saying this behavior is not normal and needs to stop.

      • I remember once seeing a car with one of those "No fat chicks" bumper stickers on it, and when I passed the guy I looked over to discover that he was an absolute toad. No doubt the "fat chicks" of whom his bumper was referring to most likely wouldn't give him the time of day. The whole incident was more comical than anything. I like to think that wherever that stupid bastard goes he's spreading laughter as people are probably laughing at his sorry ass after seeing him once they've read his bumper sticker.
