My "favorite" is when men tell you you don't need to wear make-up in that "Let me save you beautiful tortured princess!" tone not realizing that when you're very pale skinned with dark features a little make-up goes a long way to keep people from showing grave concern for your perceived terminal illness. Then there's the people (usually women) who look down their noses at you because you choose to spend time with your husband over working overtime or doing something social with them.
I've also run into my fair share of men who despise the thought of having a wife or girlfriend who stays at home. They won't care if all she does is volunteer somewhere but she has to be out of the house regularly and prove an active member of society because he's not there to support her bon bon/soap watching habit. I have no idea where that mentality comes from but I usually can't stand those guys long enough to be around them and figure it out.
My biggest thing is that male or female, what a person does with their person is no one else's business. As long as they're not hurting anyone or themselves, who the hell cares how they live? Why is it such a personal affront to a complete stranger how they live their life? I can only imagine living in their heads is a nightmare and I'm glad I'm not there with them.
