Laura McQuarrie — October 15, 2014 — Social Good
The '7 Things You Should Never Say to Women' video from BuzzFeed calls out some of the phrases that are frequently used on women that many women find to be insulting or offensive. Some of the examples included in the video include notes telling women things like: "Don't be stuck up," or "You look tired."
The video features responses from several women in response to these common phrases or questions, and reminds men not to be the guy who makes these remarks. However, as some of the commenters on YouTube have pointed out, it might not matter what you say, since even the simplest of comments can be over-analyzed to the point where it can always be taken as a negative.
