I went to see Devil Wears Prada 2 (I actually liked it), but I had one of the weirdest experiences afterward.

As I was leaving, a woman was holding the door open for a bunch of people. I walked out, said “thank you,” and she suddenly snapped at me: “WHAT, YOU DON’T KNOW HOW TO HOLD THE DOOR FOR WOMEN?! YOUR MAMA MUST NOT HAVE RAISED YOU RIGHT.” First off, I was on my phone, so I didn’t even realize there was a woman behind me. Plus, she was already holding the door for a whole crowd—men and women—so it wasn’t like I ignored someone on purpose.

But that wasn’t even the craziest part. During the movie, someone quietly whispered to their friend—barely noticeable—and that same woman yelled at the top of her lungs, “BE QUIET! OH MY GOD.” The entire theater heard her way more than the people whispering, and some people even started laughing.

I go to the movies multiple times a week, and that was easily the weirdest interaction I’ve ever had.

This was in Georgia.

    So it sounded like all women in that theatre weren’t like that…I think we can reason from that to answer your question…

      It was one of those questions where the asker had conveniently also provided the answer in the question.

    Didn’t even need to read the text body to know the answer was a “No.” I read it anyway, and the answer is still a “No.”

    As a general rule, if a question starts with “Are all”, 95% of the time, the answer is “No”.

    Are all women in the south like this?

    This was in Georgia.

    Obviously not, but it is only Georgia who is like that, and then only as long as you are in her.

    Have you tried the 17 versions of AI woman they might tell you wonderful and all that crap.

    Like really why arnt the 50% population that are female all acting submissive, who do I complain to? Where is that woman who lives above the basement; with my food.

    Oops sorry I am leaning into stereotypes there.

    OP step off your phone. Talk to people, engage in critical thinking. Maybe update us in 4 weeks with an updated %.

    Yes Nomad, all women. In fact, all women everywhere. Do you not know women? Your coworker is a woman, no? She’s like that too, hadn’t you noticed?

        Yes I have seen some mama June ass whales act like this. But I’ve also seen Shanequa from the hood act like this as well. Two sides of the diabetes coin.

        You sure are sounding like an SJW white savior right now. 😘
