28 Dumb Things Men Tried to Explain to Women

There are times when sexism is too stupid to bear. Just ask the woman who actually had a guy tell her that the morning sickness she was experiencing was all in her head, and that she could control it if she really wanted to. Or the woman working the drive-thru window who had a man tell her that putting ice in Coca-Cola caused hyperactivity.

Many other women have shared stories about the times men ruined their day, and a lot of these guys have no idea how menstrual cycles work.
