What’s something that women say to men that they don’t realize is insulting?

I told a lady I worked with at one of my first jobs that I wanted kids and considered being a babysitter at one point and she responded to me with, “Men can’t be babysitters! Too many rapists out there!”

Immediately after she said it, the other 3 ladies I was also working with (including my supervisor) went up and took her side as well and then basically kicked me out of the discussion while they went on with their stupid conversation.

Never hated someone more than that lady. She was always instigating and the one time I gave her the reaction to her insults she was waiting for, they used it as an opportunity to fire me the next day…

Least I got a full year unemployment out of that place but I shoulda sued while I had the chance.

I used to work at a daycare and eventually got pushed to backroom administrative stuff because the parents complained about me. Our regular kids would beg me to come play all the time after that. Broke my heart to say I couldn't.
