Women Reveal Which Questions A Man Should Never Ever Ask Them

Reddit user Cantbeatjustbe asked: 'Women of Reddit, what is a question a man should never ask, however tempting?'

When I saw the title of this article, I wasn't sure I agreed with its premise.

For one, my family's cultures—my Mother and Father are both Indigenous North American but from two different tribal nations—both recognized five genders. Viewing things from a strict gender binary doesn't always translate well in my thoughts.


And for another, I'm fairly straightforward in my interpersonal communication. That's partly my upbringing, but also my autism.

I wasn’t sure designating any question as off limits was a good idea.

But once I saw the examples people gave... Wow.

Yeah, don't ask anyone who identifies as a woman these questions.

I'd go further to say aside from a personal physician or other healthcare provider, no one should be asking anyone some of these questions.

Not Everyone Can Or Even Wants To

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
