Women are taking over the internet with the #WomenInMaleFields trend: What is it and why men don’t like it?

The hashtag #womeninmalefields has taken the internet by storm. This ranges from videos of men clapping hilariously to just black humor where women call out problematic behavior from men. The trend is also an eye-opener for many, as women share toxic behavior patterns they’ve encountered with men in their relationships, and what it would be like if women behaved the same way men do.

The #womeninmalefields trend is taking the internet by storm

From cheating to compromising with relatives and putting down emotions, the women deal with it all with Nicki Minaj’s Anaconda playing in the background. The woman shared her video and wrote: “He begged me to stop cheating but it’s literally just biology. As a woman, I can’t help but seek out wealthy men to protect and provide for my offspring. Besides, it still means nothing #WomenInMaleFields.” Read also | Behaviors in toxic relationships that can negatively affect us

Here is another one – a woman’s answer to how men react when they are caught cheating. Instead of apologizing, toxic men in relationships often play the victim card and end up saying “at least they told the truth.”

“When he gets mad at me for cheating on him, I tell him, ‘At least I’m being honest, I could have just not told you about it’ #WomenInMaleDominatedFields (sic),” another woman shared. Read also | The toxic cycle of an unhealthy relationship

Women are often asked to compromise at their in-laws’ house, even if they are not happy with the way they are being treated. The influencer responded to this long-standing regressive tradition and said: “When a guy tells me that his relatives are treating him badly, I tell him that marriage is a compromise and he has to learn to adapt to his happiness #womeninmaledominatedfields.”

Women also struggle with abuse through this trend

Women also choose to fight physical and sexual violence through this trend. The netizen spoke about the club culture where men ignore boundaries and said: “I needlessly grabbed his waist when I passed him in the club because he’s in the club so he’s fair game #womeninmalefields.” Read also | Toxic Relationships: What Is Hidden Abuse?

How does the internet react?

Netizens love this trend a lot. An Instagram user commented: “My favorite part of this trend is men getting offended and completely missing the point.” Another comment read: “All the men howling in the comments just shows how scared they are of being treated the same as women. Therefore, instead of considering their dominance and inequality, they, as always, only think about themselves… It’s so sad.”

This trend started on TikTok a few days ago and has spread to Instagram as well. The hashtag #meninfemalefields is also starting to pop up, with men sharing toxic experiences they’ve had with women. Women coming forward with their stories seem to have struck a nerve.
