"if I were a woman for a day I'd memorize everyone who catcalled me and beat the shit out of them next day cuz no woman should ever experience something so shitty " -my male friend after being asked in truth or dare what he'd do if he was a girl for a day (I know it's about shit man says but please don't ignore this that's the best thing I heard a male say)

What a wild response

[shitmensaytome]

I walked out of my house on the corner right as a car came around and the guy inside honked at me, slowed down so that he was crawling past me, and yelled, "Bitch you know I'm crazy!" I kept walking and didn't respond because why would I, and he laughed like it was the funniest thing ever and went on his way. Like yes, great joke, I love being terrified first thing in the morning.

"Wow, that's the hottest thing I've ever heard" - my friends response when I told him I was a lesbian after he asked me out

Oh, that's why you want water so badly - because you're 30

"Are you any good, or are you like other girls?" - random guy on Xbox who died before I did

Well I’m just saying you frequently dress like you’re not at work. It’s not necessarily that you WANT attention, but you get it.

The proper response is ‘Thank you dad’

My dad after he told me for the hundredth time that he prefers my blonde hair to blue despite me telling him I was uncomfortable with the blonde

“You’d be a ten if you straightened your hair” -some guy’s first message to me on a message app

[shitmensaytome]

guy who i had already rejected several times after i said no yet again to a date, all the while cornering me at my locker with like 4 of his friends. (it was because i DIDN’T FUCKING LIKE HIM)

My ex after scoring a goal in an xbox hockey game:

"Yes! Backhands aren't just for women!"

No shade: it makes me super happy to see submissions that follow the guidelines. Work has been super frustrating and it’s just nice to see that there are people who do listen. So keep them coming!!!

As a reminder, this is what they are:

Remember to tag “shit men say to me” and “submission” before you submit your soundbite.  I like to go back and add usernames to the tags, and it’s super helpful for me if you include your username at the end of the post so I can do that on mobile.

Do not submit on “ask.”  I cannot stress this enough.  Anonymous submissions are allowed.  Do not submit on “ask.”  I will no longer be posting them.

Keep it short and sweet.  This is supposed to be a soundbite, not a story. An actual quote, in quotation marks, is the easiest way to ensure your submission will be posted.  If you want to give your submission some context, that’s great, but it should still sound like a shitty thing regardless of context.  If you need to explain why that was a shitty thing to be said to you (or overheard by you), it’s probably not going to get posted.

Acceptable: “While on a date,” “In my first period sociology class,” “Walking to the grocery store on a Saturday night.”

Not gonna get posted: “When I was younger, I used to do [activity] with my friends.  We would drive to the beach sometimes to do [activity], that was probably our favorite place for it.  One time, it was a beautiful summer day, so we were at the beach doing [activity] when this jerk walked up to me and my friends and said [shitty thing.]  It was just awful.  I can’t believe someone would say that to a person I really cared for, it just completely ruined our day.”  Sorry, babes.

Rephrase!  Reorganize!  “[shitty thing] - a total jerk to my friends and I while we were doing [activity] at the beach,” or “While at the beach: “[shitty thing]” - a total asshole, I mean, stranger.”  The more concise you can be, the better it works.

Submit a separate entry for each soundbite, even if they’re all said by the same shitty man.  Don’t compile them into one long post!  Flood my inbox!  Just remember to tag!!!

Dating related screen shot?  Please submit to my dating blog, @nokay-stupid!

This was covered earlier, but I’ll say it again: I don’t want to hear about the intimate details of your sex life/your partner’s problems.  Please and thank you.

"no offense, but I want to talk to a male agent because they are better at your job"

I work at a call center and an older male customer legit told me this and threw a fit until I found him a male rep....
