50+ Women Share the Biggest 'Icks' a Man Gave Them in 2023

Welcome to 2023, a post "burn-the-bra" and "me too" era. What does that mean? It means women are getting down to the nitty-gritty of what they are not going to tolerate in a man anymore. No more, "I have to have dinner on the table every night after a full day of working my job and he doesn't, but at least he encourages me to have a girls' night once in a while!" That might have been a big deal in the '70s, but it's 2023. We have more ways than ever of communicating with each other and women are spreading the great word of what we do NOT need to put up with anymore. What do we call them? "Icks" or "Red Flags." These are things that can happen with any gender in any type of relationship: You can get an ick from your female boss, or you can see a red flag with that one family member—so it's not like we invented these concepts. But applying them to a new standard of men has really been bringing us women striving for healthy relationships a long way. So see what over 50 women of 2023 have said is their ick!
