I always get the creeps when a man tells a woman to smile

[RandySF]

Because it's often after he's done something terrible to her. I bet a lot of people get the same vibe.

1. Women absolutely hate it when men, especially

strangers tell us we need to smile. It is sexism on steroids.

Men who know us don't generally try it - they know better.

2. It is almost always a manipulation. An assertion of power.

3. Don't watch 'Jessica Jones' on Netflix.

Creepy man done well.

4. I did

Awesome show that demonstrates how rape shatters a person inside and out.

5. I'm a guy who often gets that same admonishment and find it creepy when people say that to me

And every person who's ever given me a variation on the "you need to smile more" speech has gone on to prove themselves to be an asshole.

6. Yes smile...

Right before he hauls off and punches her in the face.
