Misogyny, the term used to describe societal inequity, is evidenced by many everyday things, like the gendered wage gap, pink tax, lack of women in positions of power, and the unmistakable influence of patriarchy penetrating every level of our lives, from households to politics. Whether you’re being mansplained to or fall victim to the career-destroying prerogatives of men, it means that sadly, you’re no stranger to the ways misogynistic society operates.
But luckily there are many bright women and men out there who are not willing to put up with the sexist BS they witness or experience firsthand day to day. And out of the frustration, hilarious, spot-on, merciless, and witty comebacks are born to target any misogynistic remark.
Scroll down to read through the most entertaining comebacks below that will remind us we don’t have to stay silent when someone is being a jerk.

A lot of the WTA players hold Andy Murray in high regard because of situations like this. He corrected a journalist in 2016 after he lost in the fourth round at Wimbledon, the journalist mentioned about it being the first time in a while since an American Player had made the quarters. Male said Murray. Male player. Reminding the journalist of Serena reaching the the quarters whilst a male American hadn't. When Murray said he was going to be in the mixed doubles in 2019, one player Who always played mixed with her brother was quite willing to dump him just to team up with Murray! He ended up playing with Serena.

sexism is to judge somebody base on gender standar and norms...feminist can make that mistake too, so being feminist doesn't automatically make you not sexist...and being not sexist doesn't make you a feminist...feminism is the struggle of women for social rights, whatever their view on gender is.

Sometimes "Feminism" goes way too far though - there are women out there who call themselves feminist yet believe that women should be treated as superior to men, and men should be opressed etc. That isn't what feminism is about, it's about equality, not being better than men. I am very much a feminist in that regard, but sadly saying this lumps you in with the man hating rainbow haired tumblr weirdo's sometimes. :/

There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who divide into groups of two, and those who don't.
Misogyny functions as an ideology or belief system that has accompanied patriarchal or male-dominated societies and continues to place women in subordinate positions with limited access to power and decision making. But thankfully, in present times, it’s not being taken lightly anymore as more and more women and men are willing to step up and challenge this ancient and inherently harmful belief.

In my case I did.

Being unemployed was less stressful than working in that toxic place.

In an interview with Vox, Kate explained: “There’s a tendency to define misogyny as this deep hatred in the heart, harbored by men toward girls and women. I define misogyny as social systems or environments where women face hostility and hatred because they’re women in a man's world—a historical patriarchy.”
And what’s really alarming about misogyny is that it is something we practice almost unconsciously. The hostility towards women is something that’s a priori embedded in our culture where people internalize it through social norms and customs. In reality, it’s a trap for anyone born in an already misogyny-fueled society.

When I was still in school, the boys in my class found it hilarious to open girls bras through their shirts when they walked in front of them (by pushing the hooks together).

Same for me. The boys had such a good laugh when we girls had to hurry to the restroom to get their bra back in order.

Your Unsolicited Advice Doesn't Matter To Anyone, My Dude

I wonder if they think, "that woman would look much better if they only did this and that" and they blurt it out, genuinely thinking they're being kind and supportive and helpful. Not realising the ego centricity of how they're thinking. There have been a few studies in the difference in dealing with problems between men and women. Women want understanding, men want to try to fix the problem for them. It's enough to spark all kinds of unintended ill will. Although there are also enough men who enjoy belittling and gaslighting women, too. Sometimes it's also through poor education from their childhood, picking up bad habits from their parents. A generational thing. Generational values take a little longer to change.

Marriage And Feminism
jimmy pop 4 years ago
I don't even get why people aim for marriages anymore. Sure, a few generations back, when a woman wasn't allowed to make her own fortune but was socially pressed into dependency of a man, it made sense for her to bind the man to her (or herself to the man, however you wanna see it) so she wouldn't be left alone with the kids and no income - vice versa, the man wouldn't be left alone with the household duties. Luckily this has changed so nobody needs to marry anymore to secure their future. I want to be in a relationship because I want to be together with the person I love as long as that is the case and I certainly don't want to end up in a situation where either of us doesn't want that anymore but can't get out.

You are right, people do behave like this although it is part of human nature. People are instinctively tribal, so if a stranger is identified as being from the same group (even if that is gender, sexuality, race etc), they will be seem more as an individual; and so the opposite is true. In our past this bavour would have served as a survival trait, as strangers could be a threat and would naturally be treated with hostility. The thing is we don't have to behave that way, as we are not mindless animals as we have conscious control over our instincts.

I've seen similar sort of arguments about how it's "okay" for cops to shoot black men during traffic stops. Because "statistically black men commit more violent crimes". Okay let's say that's true (who actually knows if they do or if they just get accused of them more often, etc?), and white men statistically commit a tiny bit fewer violent crimes -- then it must be okay for police to shoot them as well. It in fact must be okay for the police to shoot anyone at any time at their whim because every category of people includes a percentage who commit violent crimes.

Also, why do men think it hurts so disproportionately intensely when they get a blow in the testicles? Because all the men who got the proportionate amount of pain compared to other body parts simply ploughed on and kept doing what they were doing, were never able to reproduce, and their line died out. The fact that getting hit in the nuts is so very painful speaks volumes about what it takes to get through to men not to do something.

Logic and Reason is an ironic username for somebody who inherently lacks both. Getting a knee in the nuts only hurts for maybe 0.5-1 hrs, yet childbirth can last for many days and the pain of pushing a fairly large human being from a hole that can only grow to 10cm wide is probably way worse than a mere kick.

Accusations Ruin A Man's Life
Edward Willis 4 years ago
I think the thing is that, in this case, these men had enough money and power to just make it go away, and the people that support them largely don't care about that stuff anyway. For those who don't have that money and power, accusations can ruin a life, but the way to solve that is to ensure that every accusation is correctly followed up on and necessary prosecutions made. Just saying "don't accuse" absolutely does not help, in fact it makes things worse.

In general accusations can and do ruin men's lives. And so they should if it's true. Sadly SOME men get away with being abusers and it should not happen. If the accusation is fact then they deserve the consequences and receive jail time, but if a false accusation is made then the accuser should also have the consequences. Unfortunately false accusers often get away with it even though the other person's life has been ruined.

And he counted "domestic enslavement", as he called it. Not that he'd let a woman be ordained, but ... at least he tried to show that what Jesus taught is not what Christians seem to "get".

The Link Between Guns, Police And Violence Against Women In America
Foxxy (The Original) 4 years ago (edited)
Maybe half the police force in the US and many non developed countries. But not in most of the western world. We don't have a huge gun issue. EDIT: Since some people seem to have an issue of me only commenting on the gun part and not mentioning anything about domestic violence, well here is my stance. ANYONE who is a perpetrator of domestic violence deserve to be punished. The court system is an absolute joke in protecting victims and things need to change NOW. Too many people are dying at the hands of their "loved one" and something should have been done years ago. We keep hearing about perpetrators facing tougher punishments but it is yet to be seen. It is all talk and no action. And judges/parole board need to be held accountable for releasing repeat offenders. If the reoffender ends up killing someone, the judge/parole board have blood on their hands. Hopefully that satisfies some of you.
Brittania Kelli 4 years ago

Go to counseling and get over it. You wouldn't say that a man who was a serial killer and has mommy issues isn't to blame, but rather it's the woman who failed him as a mother.

Beats me. A smile is supposed to show that the person is genuinely happy to see you. If they smile because you asked them, that kinda defeats the point, no?

If someone tells you that you should smile, don't smile. Just ask them "why?" and listen intently to whatever explanation they come up with. If they say it's because you would be prettier, ask them why you would want to be prettier at that moment in time. "Why?" is an excellent question.

I'm so not excited for when I'm gonna start being told this kind of stuff because my face just falls into a frown when I'm not conveying emotion.

And then when women don't smile creeps are all like "well f**k you then!" This literally a lose-lose situation for women.

The Enemy Of Feminism Isn't Men
Brittania Kelli 4 years ago
Yep. So many women have been brain washed by the patriarchy and they don't see the irony of getting male support when they stand up against feminism. Honey, you're need for male approval is showing.
Brendan 4 years ago
What's wrong with getting support from men? Would you prefer men withheld it? Support it support, no matter who it comes from.

Something I think feminist need to realize is that a woman can be a stay at home wife/mom and still support the cause. It's the choice they made for their life but they still support other women's choice not too. I'm a stay at home wife and I like my life. I get fulfillment and happiness in my life choices. My sister is a career paramedic, and that's great. She gets fulfillment in her choices and she's happy which makes me happy. Love your lives and your choices in your own pursuit of happiness and fulfillment.

Kathryn Baylis 4 years ago
The men who say that are usually incels, so have no clue about women in the first place. Well, except for impossibly fake male fantasy women in porn, hentai, and their own f****d up imaginations.

The kitchen is where the main water supply, the food, the household poisons and the knives are. Sounds like a good move, statistically. Just sayin' sexist idiots.

Set Firm Boundaries

Think of it as a standup comedian trying out material on the road. What gets a laugh stays, what doesn’t gets dropped from the comedy routine. I doubt that comedians get all that defensive if they have to abandon a joke.

"I'll never speak again" - "That's a deal then". Threatening with a good time isn't the best manipulation tactic.

No, Not Like That

In case someone needs to hear this: A woman will enjoy sex as much as a man if her partner makes an effort to give her as much pleasure as themselves.
Rissie 4 years ago (edited)
In case someone needs to hear this: sometimes even that's not true and you just don't feel like it. Because the act of sex in a heterosexual relationship is still many times a man penetrating a woman, which puts a woman in a vulnerable position that just doesn't always fit what you feel like doing that day. So. There I said it.

The fact that A LOT of women don't enjoy (heterosexual) sex has everything to do with the guy's lack of skills, though...
Brendan 4 years ago
I don't believe it's a lack of skills, but a lack of understanding, or, is some cases, selfishness.

Asking The Real Questions
Kathryn Baylis 4 years ago
Yeah, not intervening and teaching proper behavior is the real #notallmen.
lenka 4 years ago
This is a really good question. My husband is a good man and would never accept outright sexism, violence or abuse, but he didnt realy know how to identify and speak up against casual sexism and rape culture, especially among his own social and professional circle. It has been a real eye opener for him - especially the reactions from other men who are shell shocked to be called out on thier casual sexism.

Yes They Can Be
Pille P 4 years ago
I think girls are also trained early to like being objectified. If you see girl magazines there's nothing with STEM or brilliance of the mind, always with how does your hair look or if this dress makes me fat. Baby outfits are already with sexual innuendos - watch out boys for this cutie etc.
Rissie 4 years ago
Those outfits are really aimed at the parents. Being the ones that can read and stuff. But just in general, it may cease to exist asap.

Another perspective; raise males in an environment that normalizes causal affection so they don't mistake platonic affection, the kind females initiate with other females, for romantic affection. Males don't casually touch or emotionally speak to each other like females do and it creates the toxic "friend zone" relationships.

I find the amount of pro-rape propaganda constantly coming from conservatives to be terrifying. That there's a whole huge segment of society who seems to be doing everything they can to be allowed to rape without consequence.

It's So Realistic!
Kathryn Baylis 4 years ago (edited)
This. F*****g terrifying. (The book terrified me when I was Handmaid age. As I got older and knew I’d be sent to the colonies, either for being past childbearing age or for being a very outspoken anti-Gilead activist, I was almost relieved. At least the women in the colonies have some freedom to be themselves. However, I never ever want to see us even think of pursuing that kind of path. Ever.)

It's such a joke. Guys can run around and call their exes/almost exes/second girlfriend for a booty call and it's okay? (I had a roommate who lived that life, she recognizes that as not her finest hour.) But the woman in question does it and she gets called out.....whatever.

Men can't control themselves? My 13 year is old son came home one afternoon and said, "I need new friends, what they did to her was wrong. I will not be a part of that." He was utterly disgusted. Imagine if more boys/men acted this way. After I was raped, my father asked what I was wearing, it was absolutely my fault. I sent him a link to the YouTube video "Tea Consent" which explains consent clearly. Why does it need to be explained?
Cookie 4 years ago
Yeah, I had a policewoman ask me that. But first, "Are you married?" I answered no, and she treated me as the enemy from then. Later I found out that it was because "Single and divorced women go around looking for sex", meaning I asked for it.

The captain of a small town police force refused to let an officer file a report acknowledging I was assaulted -- despite the hand shaped bruises and a note from the hospital explaining why they were certain I assaulted. As I was getting in my car he mocked my Warriors in Pink stickers. I looked him in the eye, "It is the breast cancer awareness group that got me through breast cancer." Jerk. Even with the report from the hospital and a lengthy report from the National Park Rangers, it was impossible to press charges. Willing to make a fool of myself to get attention, I did get a serious restraining order. He lived far away, we weren't married and didn't live together -- if this was difficult, imagine trying to file a report on your spouse. This was 2013. Important -- if law enforcement asks if you feel safe, be honest, no matter how uncomfortable it feels.

All fine reminders of why forcing the gender divide to result in socially polar opposites is a BAD idea... That nearly always results in designated "dominant" and "submissive" roles, and a culture that glorifies awful behavior to reinforce that false dichotomy.
