Easiest one is "telling me what to wear". Women can't go 5 minutes around other women without telling, or subtly criticizing, occasionally complimenting, etc, what other women are wearing. Mothers towards their daughters are the most intense. It comes as intuitively to them as male software devs arguing about spaces vs tabs.
