50 Of The Best Posts From An Online Community That Rages Against Sexism (New Pics)
Interview With Expert
Just when we think we’ve come far in our fight for equality, some sexist idiot rears their ugly head. Warped ideals, statements and posts aren’t always blatant. Sometimes they're hiding in plain sight. Masquerading as totally normal and acceptable in society. Some people aren’t even aware that their comments and actions are sexist.
Thankfully, there’s an online community that makes it their business to call out people and things that need schooling. The subreddit r/TrollXChromosomes has amassed over 835,000 members since its inception in 2011. It’s a place for “rage comics and other memes with a girly slant.”
For the past few weeks and months, we have been subjected to some crazy sexist posts on social media. So we found it fitting to put together a list of pics from the TrollXChromosomes community. Just in case anyone needed a reminder to sit down, shut up and listen. Many of them deal with covert sexism. Things that are still blatantly accepted but really shouldn’t be. Keep scrolling and don’t forget to upvote the ones that stand out for you.
As a bonus, Bored Panda has included some info on jobs that are closing the gender pay gap in 2025. You’ll find that between the pics. As well as an interview with Eva Chan, a career expert from Resume Genius. We spoke to her about sexism in the workplace, the gender pay gap and a newly-released report on the subject.

If This Hurts Your Feelings I Quite Literally Do Not Care
If you want to see blatant sexism, look no further than the workplace. In particular, payrolls. And the positions held by women versus men. A 2023 Pew Research Center study found that American women typically earn 82 cents for every dollar men earn. While we still have a long road to walk, the experts at online career platform Resume Genius believe progress has been made over the past decade.
The company recently released its 2025 Highest-Paying, Women-Led Careers Report. The researchers used data from the Women’s Bureau and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics to arrive at a list of 10 careers where the gender pay gap has narrowed the most between 2014 and 2024.
"The gender pay gap is the difference between what men and women earn for doing the same or similar work," Resume Genius' career expert Eva Chan explained during an interview with Bored Panda.
Chan says while the figure of 82 cents for every dollar earned by men might sound small, it actually isn't. "Over a lifetime, it adds up to hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost income," she told us. "It's also worth mentioning that this is an average — the gap is even wider for women of color and women in certain industries. And while the numbers have improved over the years, progress has been painfully slow. At this rate, experts estimate it could still take decades to fully close the gap."

We Won't Take It

The best response is to look bewildered and ask what part of it was funny.
The International Labour Organization (ILO) estimates that women across the world are paid about 20% less than men. And according to data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), South Korea, Israel, Latvia, Japan, Cyprus, and Estonia are among the developed countries that have gender wage gaps above the global average. The U.S., Canada, Finland, and France each have a wage gap of 15% or more.
Chan tells Bored Panda that there are quite a few reasons behind the gender pay gap. "Part of it comes down to the types of jobs women have historically been pushed toward, such as roles in care, admin, or support work, which tend to pay less even though they're essential roles," she explained. "There's also what's called the 'motherhood penalty,' where women face career slowdowns after having children, while men don't."
The expert adds that there are also differences in how men and women negotiate pay, how they’re promoted, and how leadership roles are distributed. "Unconscious bias and old-school attitudes about who should be in charge still linger in a lot of workplaces," says Chan. "The bottom line is that the gender pay gap is a structural issue, not an individual one."

100%
Resume Genius released its 2025 Highest-Paying, Women-Led Careers Report in March. It includes a list of 10 jobs or careers that have shown the most improvement in closing the gender pay gap over the past decade. Chan says one of the most encouraging things they found in their research is that some jobs are making real progress toward pay equality.
"Full progress still hasn’t been made yet, but it shows that when industries commit to transparency, equal opportunity, and valuing expertise, the gap can close," she told Bored Panda.
The Resume Genius report revealed that a decade ago female Marketing Managers earned just 71 cents per dollar compared to men. Now, they’re up to 96 cents, which, is a huge leap forward. Furthermore, 61% of marketing manager positions are now held by women. And the average annual salary is around $85,327.

Chan adds that women Medical Scientists are also faring well. "These are the people behind critical healthcare research, and the pay gap here has shrunk from 79 to 95 cents on the dollar over the past decade," she says. "It’s a field where expertise and advanced education have helped drive parity."
When it comes to Training and Development Specialists, the gap has improved from 75 to 91 cents. "These professionals help others grow their careers," explains Chan, "And it’s great to see their own earnings getting closer to equity."

Patriarchy Has No Gender
We asked Chan what advice she has for women who feel they are performing well but still being grossly underpaid... "If you’re delivering results and suspect you’re being underpaid, start by gathering the facts," she replied. "Research salary benchmarks for your role, your industry, and your location. Knowledge is power — and it’s harder for an employer to ignore clear, data-backed evidence. Once you’ve done your research, have a professional but direct conversation with your manager or HR. Advocate for yourself and make a strong case for fair compensation."

"You don’t owe any company your loyalty if they’re not valuing you properly," advises Chan. "If you’ve tried to address the gap and nothing changes, it’s okay to explore other opportunities. You shouldn’t have to choose between paying your bills and being treated fairly. That said, I know not everyone has the luxury of leaving a job right away — other factors can make that difficult. But knowing you can when the time is right is empowering. And sometimes, the simple act of exploring other options can remind you how valuable your skills really are."

They are doing this to Imane Khelif and half the world is cheering them on. I wonder if she also has to pop out a few kids to "prove" that she is a woman cause "only real woman can have babies". If Imane turns out be unable to have children (like many cis women are) they will probably see that as proof that she is indeed a man.

According to the wiki page- The s*x test used for European Cup women's track and field competition in Kyiv in 1967 wrongly identified her as not female, and Kłobukowska was subsequently banned from competing in professional sports.This was surprising considering she passed the anatomical s*x test a year prior to this competition. A year later, in 1968, she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. According to the IAAF, she had "one chromosome too many", likely referring to detection of a Y chromosome in some of her cells.[ However, if she had been tested one year later at the Mexico Olympics, she would have been eligible on the grounds that she was Barr body (inactive X- chromosome) positive, having a Barr body in each of her cells.The Polish Olympic Committee has stated that athletic federations from the Soviet Union and East Germany targeted Kłobukowska for sportingreasons.Kłobukowska's humiliation led to a change in the s*x verification policies by the Olympic committee which from then on kept test results secret.

All this chromosome stuff is just a smokescreen for transphobia. If people are genuinely concerned about whether women in sports are "competing on an even playing field", they should just divide up competing groups by physical size and strength instead of bothering with chromosome tests. You know, like how boxing is featherweight, heavyweight, etc. And then do that for men's sports as well! BTW, how do non-binaries even compete, their existence isn't even acknowleged?? They're here, they're enby, get used to it, y'all!! In fact: Instead of dividing people up by gender, just divide up ALL the contestants by physical size, strength, and approximate ability, regardless of gender identity. THAT would make things truly equitable. But the anti-trans brigade don't actually care about equality in sports. They just care about excluding trans people from as many levels of society as possible.

i have never seen anyone able to protect someone else from an a*****t made by someone that makes their usual list, so the whole issue is reduced to "they help each other to eliminate the uneligibles that insist too much", which is the same thing for both. and not even this is true - the "girl code" doesn't only look, it is literally the same - helping a "sister" to get laid.

Woman has dates lined up around the block. Man demands to close the relationship. Woman doesn't want to because she's having the time of her life and getting laid three times a day. Man goes on Reddit whining about it's so unffaaaaaaiiiir and there are 2000 comments saying "what did you expect, moron?"

I used to do a sword fighting course. The trainer had to ban several guys from fighting without the trainer's supervision because when they fought against a woman and lost, they lost their freaking s**t and started to stab or aim at the head (as you can imagine, highly forbidden actions). And of course more than half of the men made horrible comments about the women's bodies.
