A recent post sparked outrage after a woman made a blatantly sexist statement about men and communication. Her remark dismissed male expression entirely and reinforced outdated gender stereotypes about who is “allowed” to speak.
The post read: “I hate men that talk too much, if possible don’t even talk at all afterall talking was meant for ladies.”
The comment drew criticism for promoting a toxic double standard that frames men as less entitled to express emotions, opinions, or vulnerability. Critics argued that such rhetoric contributes to the same harmful norms that discourage men from communicating openly—norms often blamed for emotional repression, mental health struggles, and relationship breakdowns. While some dismissed it as a joke, others pointed out that reversing the genders would immediately be called misogyny. The post highlights how casual sexism against men is often normalized online, even though it reinforces unhealthy and dehumanizing expectations about gender roles and communication.
