@vanessaandxander: Do men not get “the ick”?? 👀 We asked our Instagram audience to submit stories about the ick and all our submissions were from women! It’s got us thinking… do men get ’the ick?” 👀 What do you think? 👇🏼 This week, we’re diving into: 😬 The real definition of the ick (and how it’s different from a red flag) 😬 What to do when quirky habits suddenly kill your attraction 😬 Your most hilarious submissions (yes, baby talk and dirty texts made the list) Whether you’re the one feeling grossed out… or wondering if you’re the one giving someone the ick 😬 — this episode is full of perspective, permission, and practical advice. 🎧 Listen now on the Pillow Talks Podcast: EPISODE 217: Got the Ick? Why It Happens in Relationships + What to Do About It
In my experience, it’s cuz they never forget. They make a snap judgment for whatever the reason is, and now that person is eternally a source of “the ick”. Men don’t get the ick because we understand that our opinions about someone else are not “the truth”. It’s just our opinions. We’ll walk away and go about our day. A lot of women will talk smack and still let it fester within them later. Seems like a lot of wasted energy on women’s part.

“The ick” is a toxic social construct that nothing more than a justification for bias, prejudice, and toxic judgement masked as “gut feeling”. It’s a way for people to not take ownership of their own biases, and women have it more right now because it’s a popular phrase on social media.

actually, it's society making judgment on women's bodies. That is why women are hard on themselves.

Women aren’t taught to be respectful of men like men are taught to be respectful of women. Men are taught to give women space to be themselves. Women are not taught the same about men.

First he says women are “socially conditioned” from a young age and then he says they are “hard wired”. Lol. Maybe it’s because men never look inward. Case in point.😬

Women judge on a feeling that has no merit to actuality. This is why they’re called irrational, illogical, and even hysterical. Women need to learn to start judging everyone on merit and not on a feeling.
