These are 20 sexist behaviours in your relationship that you should no longer allow
Your partner never does the shopping
You try sending your partner to do the shopping, but they can never get the specific products you asked for (period pads, tampons,…) whereas you always buy their favourite shaving cream.
Your partner never takes part in the house chores
In a home, house chores should be divised 50/50 between the two partners. Your partner acts like they do not live in the place, and struggle to lift a finger to help you out.
Your partner believes you're always available
Your partner never takes into account the things you have to do during the day, and believes you are at their disposal.
Your partner agrees to going out but sulks all night
Your partner agrees when you offer to go out (instead of saying ‘no’ directly) and makes you pay for it by sulking the whole time (instead of telling you what's wrong).
Your partner's career comes before your own
Your partner puts their career above everything else, including you. Their work dictates your life, and everything they do comes before your own career and happiness.
Your partner always minimises your problems
When your partner is going through an existential crisis for whatever reason, you're always there to listen. However, when you are in need of support, they will belittle your problems and turn the other way.
Your partner expects you to deal with planning
Their car keys, their favourite shirt, where the salt is… Your partner expects you to know where everything is, including their own stuff.
Your partner considers sex as mandatory
Your partner believes you owe them specific sexual acts, just because it is what they like, but your feelings are not taken into consideration. (Remember that no one is allowed to force you into doing something you don't want to, not even your partner)
Your partner struggles with the fact they make less money than you
You make more money than your partner, and they cannot deal with it.
You always plan the dates
Eating out, going away for the weekend,… You are the only one who plans the dates.
Your partner uses your jokes as their own
Your partner often uses your jokes as their own, especially during social gatherings.
Your partner feels threatened by your successes
Your partner always feels threatened by your personal or professional successes, which leads you to hide them to avoid conflict.
Your partner always wants to have sex their way
When you are having sex, your partner imposes their desires onto you, without even considering your own, or listening to you.
You look after your sick partner but they wouldn't return the favour
Is your partner sick with the flu or simply hungover? You look after them lovingly, but when it's your turn to be sick, they are nowhere to be found.
Your partner wants a say in your shaving choices
Your partner has an opinion on what you should shave, especially in your intimate area, and says so. (Remember that what you choose to shave is your choice entirely)
Your partner does whatever they want in bed
Your partner does whatever they want when you are having sex, without considering your needs and desires, before, during, or after sex.
Your partner pressures you to perform a sexual act you don't like
Your partner asks you repeatedly to perform a sexual act you don't like, only because they like it, but they wouldn't perform it on you.
Your partner assumes you want children because you're a woman
Your partner believes that, since you are a woman, you naturally want to get pregnant and have children.
You are the only one in charge of contraception
You are the only one to carry the weight of worrying about contraception.
You look after your sick child alone
When your child is sick, you are always the one who takes a day off from work and stays home to look after them.
