Today, while out shopping, I could hear what sounded like two grown men talking about me, and they were being pretty gross. I turned around to scold them and it turned out being a dad and his 13-year-old son. He said he was, "teaching a son to be a man", and that my ass was "grounds for discussion." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was at Walmart with my mom when a guy next to me let out a series of vicious farts. Assuming it was me, my mom chewed me out in front of the guy and made me apologize. The man looked at my mom and said, "Children, they're so immature." FML
Today, I was with my dad at the supermarket and this guy was checking me out. My dad yells at him with a grin, "I know! I make beautiful babies!" FML
Today, I was at a soccer game when some guys walking behind me yelled that I had a nice ass. I then heard someone shout, "Hey, assholes. That's my daughter." He yelled at them for quite a while. He wasn't my dad, just some weird dude. FML
Today, while shopping at my local grocery store, a young boy came up behind me and pulled my pants down while snickering. I was so shocked and horrified that I dropped the f-bomb. His mother yelled at me for "ruining his innocence". FML
Today, I was at the grocery store with my dad. He let out a very silent but foul abomination of a fart. The people behind us started gagging, so he turned, pointed at me and said, "That was my daughter." FML
Today, I was at the market when a guy started telling the man I was with how "curly-haired women are an adventure," saying what he would do to a woman like me. He was talking to my father. FML
Today, I was out grocery shopping when some pervert decided to slap my ass as they walked by. As I turned around to confront them, I saw that the culprit was a 7 or 8-year-old boy. I was so shocked, speechless and angry that I couldn't even decide how to handle the situation. FML
Today, I went out with my parents and a family friend. After saying goodbye to the friend and as soon as the elevator doors shut, my parents started trash-talking the friend's looks, stature, choice of clothes, etc. Now I understand a lot about my education growing up. FML
Today, I, a forty year-old man, went to the store with my teenage daughter and infant son. I got some very dirty looks. FML
Today, I was listening to my son's teacher gossip about students whilst in the grocery store. I was thrilled when she described my son as "A model student". However, she then went on to say, "Which is surprising considering that his parents are trailer trash." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Tell the father that isn't how "men" act. He's little more than a juvenile mentally. Respect women, and they will respect you. Same for men.

Hopefully the son saw how you reacted and learned the true lesson

I'm sorry, but no. The son ought to learn to keep his thoughts to himself.

Excuse me ma'am, but I could not help myself from noticing ye rear end is simply delightful. Now that's a damn compliment.

Since when is being a complete pig part of being a man?
JMichael 26
apparently since the beginning of time

What are you on about? If two women talk about someone in an objectifying way that makes that person feel uncomfortable then it's still wrong.

1: The OP said they were being gross about her. 2: I know of not one woman (or man) who appreciates being turned into little more than a tool of sexual gratification. 3: Everyone deserves respect, regardless of gender. This includes a person's body.

I know quite a few women that would be flattered to have their ass talked about...quit being so pretentious.
MrSassypants 34
Exactly, quite a few women like their asses being talked about.... not many. Also, it's obvious OP wasn't flattered about having her ass being a topic of discussion.

They probably have no self respect lol

If a woman has to be "pretentious" to avoid sexual objectification then so be it. Just like if men have to be single because they can't tell the difference between a compliment and harassment then so be it.

Did he really ask how talking about a woman's ass is disrespectful? Ugh I can't believe there are still so many misogynist people in the world.
stargirl_95 24
Sorry 13 but I'm not buying it. I don't know any woman who would be flattered at being objectified by two sleezeballs when she's just trying to do her shopping. On the off chance that you do know women like that just know that they are in the minority and there's nothing pretentious about a woman not being flattered by objectification

Girls say they don't want to be objectified then choose to date the one asshole that treats them like property or some kind of trophy instead of the guy that they friend zone. The. They complain endlessly about how they can't find a guy who treats them well. Thumb me down I've said my piece.

There is nothing wrong with admiring a nice ass. Just keep your thoughts to yourself when you do it. Most women don't take it as a compliment when you start talking out loud, saying gross things about them.

We aren't responsible for your friend zone. Everyone gets friend zoned at one point or another. You just don't hear women bitching about it.
mageepaigeee44 15
The friend zone was created by a bunch of ASSHOLES who think being friends with a girl automatically earns them the right to date them. If you're bringing up the friend zone, then I'm sorry but you're one of the assholes you're referring to.
SparksTheSadie 18
The friendzone doesn't exist, sorry. Get over it, you're not entitled to anything.

I know plenty of women who enjoy and even get sexual gratification from being objectified by men. Some by other women. That being said, it's generally behind closed doors or from specific people while outside. Even they don't like it much from random people on the street.

#61, sorry, I accidentally downvoted your comment! But I completely agree with you.
shesaywha 19
The thing I find funny is that taking about someone's body is exactly the same as taking about someone's personality, and I hear women bitching about people all the time. I also keep hearing women going on about how hot actors/famous people are but as soon as a man does it everyone flips their shit. It's ridiculous.
mageepaigeee44 15
Yea #66. Being a misogynist doesn't mean you have to go out and vote against women's rights or believe they belong in the kitchen. Your question was misogynist.
Setareh23 34
It's especially disrespectful because when OP turned around to tell them specifically that she did NOT like it (so they knew damn well she wasn't one of the very few women who like it), they just gave jackass excuses without even the hint of an apology.
Hunterdagreat 7
You said it man. Woman say were clueless when they have no idea who really loves them
mageepaigeee44 15
No, you can be a misogynist by making a sexist comment or through ignorance. You don't have to strongly dislike women to be a misogynist. Also I am a feminist and the fact that you accuse me of being a feminist in a negative light further shows how misogynist you are.

At least your ass was worth a discussion.

Not if it was bad discussion

You should've slapped him. Let him be an example to his son of how not to be a man.
Mystery_Unsolved 16
Yes. This is the solution.
euphoricness 28
I don't really understand how that's being a man. Don't real men usually show some respect?
ibmike22 13
The ass is a powerful object. You don't know the effect it has on a man.

The ass is with you, my son...
