I’m Teaching My Teen Sons to Avoid Labeling Women as ‘Crazy’

Before I re-entered the dating world in 2016, I rarely encountered men who referred to women as “crazy.” I had been fortunate to be surrounded by respectful men who understood that emotional responses are part of being human, rather than a sign of insanity. Growing up with three sisters and a single mom meant that I witnessed a range of emotions in our household. We had our arguments and challenges, but the idea that any of us could be deemed “crazy” never crossed my mind.

However, upon rejoining the dating scene, I quickly noticed that many men casually tossed around the term “crazy” when discussing women. Their dating profiles often featured statements like, “No crazy exes here!” or “Stay away if you’re high maintenance.” This behavior was more than cringeworthy; it was a red flag.

The reality is simple: if a man describes all his past partners as “crazy,” he is likely the common factor in these situations. I began to see a pattern: the men who claimed to be followed by “crazy” women were often those who had cheated or lied. They would share their tales over drinks, painting themselves as the victims of unjust behavior.

A woman’s emotional response is not indicative of her being “crazy.” In fact, I’ve observed men overreacting far more often when their egos are bruised. As a mother to two sons, I am committed to instilling the importance of respect and understanding in their interactions with women. They must understand that labeling a woman as “crazy” is not acceptable, especially when they are simply reacting to disrespect or challenging situations.

Recently, I listened to a podcast featuring two successful comedians discussing their past dating experiences. One comedian pointed out that if his friends are calling a woman “crazy,” they need to reflect on their own behavior. The point was clear: women react based on how they are treated, and it’s time we normalize their right to express their emotions.

I refuse to let my sons use this term. Teaching them empathy and awareness of their impact on others is crucial. Crying or showing emotion does not make someone “crazy”; it makes them human. If I ever hear them refer to a woman in this manner, they will learn a valuable lesson about the real meaning of “crazy.”
