Women who reference their vaginas when showing their disgust at a man. 🤢 Angry clam, tina closed off, legs firmly shut...

That gives me more of an ick than them showing their ick at the man in question they are discussing.

Men who play crap music from what are crap cars but think they are the tit. They usually can't drive all that well either or they own an automatic or have a car on finance but show off as if it's all theirs and paid for.

Attach some fishing weights to the bottom of your frock, a bit like the Aussies do with corks on their hats, that'll stop them gawping 👍👍
Off topic I know, but 2 things here; that's blown my mind, I never considered such a thing, I will get on it immediately!

But also.... so THAT'S why they have corks on their hats??! 🤯

I saw a similar one in the wild yesterday; the gym floor looks out over the outdoor spa area, so I watched 2 girls come out and do a mini photoshoot in the jacuzzi.
Different angles, checking it, taking again, looking away - all that jazz. Don't they feel silly? It's literally a gym jacuzzi, it's not a flex. But even if it was, are you that keen to show off that you're happy to look like a gob to take the pics? Lame.

It stops the mozzies going for their eyes 😏😏🤣

Oh yes, weights in one's hemlines to protect one's modestly is an old fashioned trick, just ask the Queen. Stops any Marilyn moments and any pervs seeing one's bloomers 👍👍

Err we don't. Privately finding something an ick and laughing about it together is not 'policing'. Most men are usually entirely ignorant of things we discuss, precisely because we're not obnoxious enough to police their behaviour. And I disagree, there's been a mix incl hyper masculine icks. I wouldn't be too quick to assume what the ick is anyway. The photo I posted is an ick to me because he's attention-seeking and self-consciously "alt". For other women it might be because he's barefoot or whatever.
He looks like a massive twit, but the thing that immediately gave me the ick, was seeing his little water bottle dangling 🤣🤣
Men carrying water bottles give me the ick generally. I see them on the train every day, clutching their bottles of water, to ward off the very real risk of dying of thirst during a 30 minute train journey 🙄

Omg yes. A few weeks back in Tesco self service till there was a boyfriend/girlfriend and he wanted to wait out of the way I assume. All I heard was “I’m going to wait over here for you alright cheeky sausage”

duck.Off.
Absolutely crying laughing at this 😂

Most of these 'icks' seem to be about women not liking it when men behave in less traditionally 'masculine' ways. I find it interesting that women police gender roles in men more than they would probably like to admit.
I personally think it's fantastic that the tides have finally turned and after decades of being told how to keep feminine for men and listening to men publicly berate women for being too slutty, mumsy, letting ourselves go, laddish etc we can finally push back and say hey men, there's plenty that repulses us about you too.

I've been told by a male boss at work before that I'd be more attractive if I wore less makeup, as though my coming to work done up is to be perceived as hot rather than turned-out. I had a stranger advise me on public transport that the plaster on my heel poking out of my high heel wasn't sexy, as though I should allow my foot to bleed, lest strange men - who I wouldn't spit on if they were on fire - don't find me sexy enough and as if my reason for going out on a Sat night is to appeal to these oafs.

Friends have reported stories of men saying that they are intimidating because they dress too sexy and should tone it down. Another overheard 2 male colleagues disgustedly conferring over her lack of femininity because she was man spreading in a meeting. Another told me of how men would routinely tell her she looked "butch" after she chopped her hair into a pixie cut.

All to say that men have had an expectation of how women should "look" since the dawn of time, usually without so much as a flicker that women too hold these biases and often in response to their hypocrisy.

And then the next clip is of them badly lip syncing and eye bleeping themselves to some rap song 😷

I'm embracing my need to have comfortable feet on holiday, so Crocs it is this year 👍👍 I do like a bit of sparkle, sorry to any Croc ickers 🤣🤣

Another supermarket one.

Lone male needed a large trolley - it was obvious to all and sundry - but he insisted on piling everything sky-high in one of tiny ones. Is a big trolley some admission of failure? He looked a simp and my husband obviously couldn't understand my icky ugh at it.

It's even worse when they refuse to carry a bloody basket & walk round trying to hold everything they want & failing miserably, keep dropping stuff on the floor 🤣
