Good idea! 😊

🥰

Literally dated a girl who had two Jack Russell terriers and a leash that said “MY MOM IS SINGLE”. (No, that’s not how we met.)

Our last rescue LOVED men and was very cold toward women, and any quick movements I would make made her cower. She loved my husband and didn’t care if I existed. She was abused before we got her and we think a woman may have been the abuser.

There are.

2/2 and she loved me. And I could pet her. She loved my mom but dad wow she was absolutely over the moon love for him. She also didn’t like newspapers so we figured young girls probably beat her with newspaper . Needless to say she does at 19 yrs old a very loved and spoiled dog.

My dad got one from the humane society Tiffany and she didn’t like young girls/women , wouldn’t let my 5 year old Come over to her would start growling. But she let me I was 24 and would get down on the carpet and put my head down in submission and wiggle over to her and she would do the same 1/2

I had a sheltie who attacked any package we brought in. Especially Amazon.

Omg this reminded me of an Akita I had years ago who hated shower curtains

Damn doorknobs..

Doorknobs: The key, and barrier, to freedom.

😂

My toxic trait is that I’d hope to I’d have good enough vibes to be the exception 😂

Dogs are like their owners 🤣

So sad :(

Can I get one of those? For me?

i know SEVERAL women that should be wearing that sign... 😆

OMG my oldest Nat’s dog Bug is the same! I am her 2nd favorite person in the world after Nat, (my wife, Nat’s sister and girlfriend - all of whom Bug loves - will agree), but I am the only guy she tolerates!

I have that same warning on my leash.

😂

I wonder if that comes in a necklace version for my niece. And her girlfriend….

So cute!

Absolutely. He and his team are simply fantastic. I bow to each of them for all they do.

Matt is cool

Me & Glinda choose the bear

I need one of those 😅

probably abused by a man

Is that leash and sign home made?? Where did it come from? It’s perfect.

Yeah, a neighbor got a small dog that will bark at any men around. She got him from a refuge, he must have had some bad experiences. He somehow learned to tolerate me, but we're still not buddies. I'm not giving up, tho.

I need that ribbon to wear, too.

Well now there is a clear signal so unambiguous that even I can get it. 'preciate you Glinda.

Hi cutie

Oh well…🤷🏽

What I love the most in this vid, after Glinda, is the little girl in the background bouncing (to the music) on the mini-tramp.

I don’t have a clue what happened. Did she lay a man out flat?

💕😊

I’ve had dogs like that. I just didn’t keep enough menfolk around for the dogs to get used to. 😁

I feel that way too sometimes Glinda. Gonna get me a sign like yours for when I have one of those days.

@angelfatal.bsky.social spirit animal

I think Glinda speaks for many of us.

I think she would like me.

I have a Glinda twin, but she likes everybody except Doodles!

💙

When i volunteer at the Humane Society (mostly to hang out with cats) staff will test dogs to see if they are afraid of me. Some of my fav experiences with dogs come from those 😭

I feel, she probably barks at every red baseball cap she sees in the park. Glinda has good instincts

I wish that sign worked for women IRL. Instead, we get men like this ⬇️

No means no.

I am curious, too. That seems logical.

😂🤣😂🫣

Where'd you get that, Glinda? Drop us a link!

Yes! Always ask.

Love that

I think I might get one of those signs.

My dog is the opposite. I mean he loves everyone but he really gravitates towards boys and men. We travel a lot and he'll always seek out the boys who are playing or the guy who's just sitting there fishing. I'm secure enough to admit he needs his bro time.

Be a Glinda 😘

She has a right to her opinion.

👍 about some/most of them

While I will wholeheartedly respect Glinda’s preference to not be pet by men you can’t stop me from being sad about not getting to pet the puppy. :(

We miss you & hope you’re okay, sending love

Does that mean little boys too? Maybe she shouldn't be in a crowd.

Yup, I had one of those years ago, but she was a Doberman/black lab. She adored kids, so gentle, but if there were men nearby, I kept her literally touching me (on her leash). Give you one guess why. 🤨

Missed opportunity to name Maleficent

Good call, Glinda...I need one of those.

Mine is half jack russell and half chihuahua. If anyone has the audacity to walk across the street a block away, she is making sure i know about it! Cesar Milan has/had a little black and white chihuahua named Spot and Spot would keep everyone in line when things got fussy. :)

That’s how I got Beckett. He was afraid of everyone but esp men, so being a single woman I went to the top of the list. So many male dog abusers…

There used to be a bumper sticker that said, “Men who abuse animals rarely stop there.”

We had a black lab that loved everyone except men in uniform. He went after our mail man, police, and random sailors. 🤷‍♂️

I mean, do you have to wonder? If a man mistreats or is violent to a dog, especially more than once, then the negative association is going to stick. I get it. Poor thing. But her owner is keeping her safe with the warning sign.

The good news is it’s often due to lack of familiarity rather than abuse. IME men also tend to wear more of the kind of “shape” variation that can spook dogs— beards, hats, sunglasses, big backpacks. My dog LOVES my dad but will freak out and bark at him if he wears a hat. 🤷‍♀️

🥹💝

That is so nice. We did have a couple of men on the volunteer roster, but i only met one of them, and he and his wife ended up adopting Dave, a white dog that was deaf. You couldn't walk Dave and then not worry about him, so it was a relief for all of us who already had dogs at home. :)

It breaks your heart, doesn't it 💔? It also makes me angry 😡. But mostly it breaks my heart 💔.

“Glinda” is very safe.

I love it!

Make that your next t-shirt and save all the doggos 😂

🤭

Smart girl!

Who hurt you, lady? What's his name?

The owner looks exactly as you’d expect her to 🍷

Where can I get one. A Glinda, a sign...all of it. LOL!

In the next shot she bites off man’s leg - it was just too quick, we missed it ☺️☺️

Same.

My older dog is like this. He tolerates cis women, Trans people, and non binary folk. He has his specific cis men He likes. It's probably my fault he is like this. My younger dog loves everyone though. 🤷‍♀️

Glinda is my spirit animal. They aren’t all bad I’m just tired of being disappointed in them.

Glinda would like me i just know it!

hahaha. I love it when I comment and then scroll through the comments to find an exact same comment. We are not alone.

Most of us are Glinda, sadly.

Good girl Glinda!

Breaks my hearts 🥹

No men is the omen!

Some cats get like that too.

Prancer's spiritual successor? www.npr.org/2021/04/27/9...

Rocky Tanaka pointed out the lack of men in shelters, btw, so not my own uninformed opinion

From what I've seen in youth sports, many men are not emotionally suited for that either

Right?

I am just wondering will the dog be confused by a man dressed as a woman or it just smells your butt to make sure lol

Aw, Glinda. Why ya gotta do me dirty like that? I just wanna scritch you behind your widdle ears. 😣

Can I borrow your sign

😂 the dog or the owner ?😂🤣

We see you, Glinda!

Moids not welcome

I wore that same exact outfit yesterday Glinda, sign and all.

#Glinda2028

Spicy Glinda is a cutie 🤣😆🤩

I totally "get" Glinda!

Im not a fan needer butvlike your stile.

I had a dog like that. She loved my good-natured son, but all other men got the brush-off or the teeth growl.

Literally howling 😂
