Small or large acts meant to put women "back in their place" when they challenge male dominance. Downgirling may include criticizing women for expressing emotions considered acceptable in men (such as anger, decisiveness and directness), demeaning or minimizing a woman's success, or implying she should not be proud of or promote her accomplishments. It may be subtle or overt. It may be directed at control—for example to discourage a woman from entering a field, attempting a challenging project or taking credit for her achievements. Or or it may come as a form of punishment, so that other women will see the consequences of rising too high or acting in ways normally only permitted to men.

Someone who jumps from one relationship immediately into another one.
Serial monogamists can not stand to be alone and often suffer from vast commitment and insecurity issues.
Because they jump into relationships immediately after the previous one has ended, serial monogamists typically don't take the time to reflect on their behavior or why their previous relationships failed; thus, they end up making the same relationship mistakes over and over again.
