I took self defense class with only boys. I was the youngest and shortest One boy said, "why is there a girl here, girls can't hit". After he said that, I smacked him hard, it made a mark on his face

He said a bad thing! Girls can hit! But, you should have told him that girls can hit, instead of hitting him. Although honestly, that's pretty funny! (Not trying to be offensive...)

Now class, let's imagine this the other way around, would you applaud a man for hitting a woman. What a sad world we live in when violence becomes the answer regardless of sex

I know how you feel... I have fought many male opponents that had underestimated my strength and fighting skills solely based on my gender. Some of those men were twice my size, yet I was able to drive a dagger into their chest with ease... I do not recommend that as a solution to sexism here on earth, however. Apparently, it's "too violent."

    My uncle told a black person on Facebook to "go pick [him] some cotton". My dad called him out, and an argument ensued that hasn't been solved yet. It's been over a year and my family is starting to split into two factions. Not fun.

    There are women who were sentenced because they raped a man (or multiple men), people just don't hear about it often, because it's scarce. And men are especially prone to make fun of it.

    I understand that I should agree with this. In MOST cases men are much stronger. Excuse the comparison here: You can let the kitty go at the dog and not worry about the dog getting hurt. If doggo seriously goes after kitty you have to step in. Now if either one picks up a 2X4, that's wrong either way. I am not condoning violence at all. I've seen a woman hit a man and it bounces right off, then a man returns the blow with just as much effort and she falls, bangs her head, and is knocked unconscious! OK Pandas, fell free to eat me alive!

    Valley girl, I totally agree with you. It's similar to saying that if a child hits an adult the adult has the right to hit back. Not comparing women to children OF COURSE. Just saying there is a difference in strength that must be taken into consideration. The kitty/dog example is on point.

    My husband and I were talking about this the other day. I told him I hate when I hear a woman hit a man and then played the victim when he hit back. If I hit a man, I would expect to get hit back. I would expect him to defend himself just like I would defend myself against man or woman.

The police made a report and told me they already knew her and to go right away file for an emergency restraining order that was granted. As she was my neighbor, she had to move!

    My sister reunited with 7 girls at her school that have been sexually harassed by a teacher to report him. He got fired, but later one of the girls stepped back and denied everything she told to the staff (probably family influence), my father thought it was my sister’s fault for being too “nosy” and that she should have told only her part, threatened to take her out of school. Principal told to sister that “it was not a big deal”, sure, he didn’t rape one of them...yet. This is the problem, not yet.

    Enough context here for knowing what happened I very much doubt. it's more like condensing a dictionary into a pamplet, so would that be a perhaps-not-yet for one of the girls but not "NOT not yet" for the other six? Every commenting panda here has their OWN interpretation of whatever did or didn't reportedly get reported... yet. According to unreliable source report. This is the problem, unclear.

    You have the strange aura of someone who didn't get the message, but sometimes you need some will to understand. Saying "not all men" is not wrong per se, except that men who say this are often people who just want to underestimate the problems many women face. Is misandry bad and wrong? Objectively yes. But from a certain perspective, it's more understandable a woman who fears/hate men after being directly hurt or traumatized from them than men who hate women for saying "no" or refusing sex. This was not about "pseudo-pro-life" propaganda where women are considered "baby-killer" and the B in baby stands for "Bro who's not really that alive yet". I am gonna ask something cool now: how about taking care of the living? Like the children you can see running, laughing, crying? You know... Something OUT of a pregnant woman?

    The US has a horrible histsory of racism. During the potato famine it was "Irish Need not Apply" When the railroads were being built Chinese workers who built them were paid a lot less. For hundreds of years Afticans were enslaved here and that bigotry still exists today. Japenese were kept in prison camps during WW II. So this is nothing new.

    It's so gut wrenching to think about the level of fear, anxiety, and anguish that Asian people (and people of color) are living through right now . I can only assume that it takes a wealth of courage to be summoned from deep within oneself to be able to carry on with their lives while trying to perform their duties at work and home and travel to and from. I wish you strength, courage, patience, and safety.

    I work in commission based customer service. One of my coworkers is from the Dominican Republic. She speaks very good English but still has a bit of an accent and not by any means difficult to understand. She started to help a customer and after 15 or so minutes they decided they didn't want to work with her any more because of her accent and just kind of left her hanging and came to talk to me. I don't play that so I kept referring them back to her as friendly as possible but inside I was fuming. Super disrespectful

    It wasn’t a sex, racist, or homophobic thing. But my boss had a fellow Christian friend working for him. I’m an atheist. I presented facts upon facts of dishonesty and poor work performance that was always disregarded. Recently found out the boss believed the Christian by his word, because he is a man of god. The boss didn’t think an atheist has morals, hence, I am the liar, even though I had reports of proof. Now, I am cleaning up months of work that didn’t get done.

    I respect people's beliefs and have a best friend who is very faithful to Christian religion. I know there are good people, but it is the person. Religion doesn't make a person good or evil. And time and time again, where I live, it is the Christians that do the most damage and are the biggest hypocrites. I raised my boys to be open to religion, told them I would help with whatever road they wanted to follow. I have the most compassionate, open minded, loving boys. And I didn't ever teach them that they will go to hell if they don't accept Jesus as their savior. They are not hateful or judgmental. My father is a devout Christian too, had numerous affairs. My neighbor is one too, a youth pastor, hates me and taught her kids to "shame" me because I am pro-choice. I could go on.

    Religious people believe that all morals were invented by God, thus, if you aren't a believer, you cannot be a good person. Also, any believer automatically has the authority of God on their side unlike the atheist.

    Do something more about it. Christianism is just as bad as Islamism is. It's ... well ... we all live in the same reality, which allows to prove certain things, and other things, so far, are neither proven nor disproven. Of course this doesn't result in them having the same chance of being true, but no matter that, it remains unresolved and therefore, in our life, using the information we have access to and leaving other things aside is likely to serve any of us pretty well. Also - this is discrimination against you for your beliefs. Try that at work in germany, and you might need a new ... work. I think this isn't that rare anymore, but atheists in some countries have to face severe disadvantage. You're in the US, right...?

    Not recent but about 5 years ago. I was working as a department lead at a sports store speaking with my African American female coworker about where to put freight. And older white man walks up to us both. Coworker greets the gentleman and asks how she can help. He proceeds to disregard her and asks me for help with something. Without hesitation I advise him that she will help him and walk away. Knowing my coworker she's a strong-willed woman and can handle herself otherwise I wouldn't have left her like that 😅

    This one isn't necessarily recent but a while back there was this kid in my class named cole, who stared forward into space a lot during class. Because a male kid sat in front of him, of course he was labeled as gay. I don't know if he was or not, the larger issue is that it meant no one would sit by him, everyone made fun of him, and they would freak out whenever he was remotely near. The thing that INFURIATES ME is that one of the kids who was bullying him HAD TWO MOMS and all of her friends were too. I have two moms as well, and ended up being LITERALLY THE ONLY KID WHO STOOD UP FOR COLE.

    Colours are colours; they don’t have genders. Everyone should be able to like and dislike any colours they please. (On a side note pink is a tint of red. When white or another light colour is added to a hue to lighten it, it’s called a tint. When black or another dark colour is added to a hue to darken it, that’s a shade.)

    Ancient greeks apparently had no word for blue. They called it a kind of green I think... anyway, because they did not have a word for it, they did not see it as different. This was the same with pink and red in modern society. Before we called it pink, it was just a light red and people saw it as just red. But after there was a word for it, no one sees it as a kind of red anymore.

    Some time ago I got a job. The fist day a man told me: "Do your husband allows you to work?" I said I am not marry. I didn't got offended, but is curious some people still think woman have to get permission from a man to do do this kind of things.

    This should be higher up. I rarely hear someone being this anachronistic. I would've said that "Actually, my husband beat me every day until I agreed to work and earn the money for my upkeep."

    Not quite as dramatic, but my husband and I rented a truck once to move. We grabbed some drive thru for lunch and by the time we'd gotten to the truck rental place, I was done eating but the hubs wasn't so I went inside to sign for a pick up the truck. Dude looked at me, looked out the window at my husband, and was like, "He made you come in here to do this?" Uh... no. It's something literally any competent adult can do. Why on earth would I need a d*ck to rent a truck??

    Before my business took off I worked other jobs too bc it wasn't making enough money yet. The ceo of the place I worked literally told me I should give up my job for someone that wasn't married. I was the frigging breadwinner not my husband but I didn't engage bc people like that have one mindset I just quit before they fired me.

    One of my fellow biker chicks broke down while on her bike. The recovery driver comes to pick up the bike and asks "so what does your husband think about you riding bikes?" she looks him dead in the eye and says "well my wife thinks it's wonderful". He didn't speak again for the rest of the journey

    at my school, the administration is great, but they can't really stop all the kids. Most people are just casually offensive, saying rascist things and calling things gay in ordinary conversation. it happens so much you can't stop it. Of course, the truly awful people are the ones best at hiding their terribleness from the teachers.

    I was on a queer community website just minding my business. Some kid claims their bi and that means they love all genders. Me, a pansexual, tried to explain that bi is attraction to men and women, and that there are more than two genders, but they refused to listen and said I was making stuff up. I am SICK of people telling me that I am not valid, when it’s clear they know nothing about it.

I work w so many children that are sexually harassed by their teachers and other students that idk if I'm strong enough to continue.

    One of the best responses to such jokes is to act genuine and interested, but like you just don't get it and ask the person to explain it to you. Repeat. Act like you just don't see the punchline. They get frustrated, then embarrassed. Could take a while, and over different times, but I'd bet it will start to get them to chill on the jokes just to skip the process after. Makes them really think about it, too.

    In management at a ‘man’s’ store. Had a guy come up to me in appliances wanting to purchase a dryer or something from the scratch and dent section. First he called me ‘girl’...I’m a 46 year old woman thank you! Then he tells me he wants to ‘Jew down the price’. Ummmm, excuse me, what did you say? ‘I want to Jew down this price’. So I responded that our company does not combine religion and business with my sweetest smile. He’s getting irritated now because he thinks I’m daft, wants to talk to the guy that’s usually here. Okie dokie. I go off to retrieve Tim. Told him what was going on and we return together. Guy turns to Tim repeats himself. What proceeds to happen is that every-time he asked about an appliance we state the sticker price. Every time he said something racist (Tim in no nonsense Africa American dude by the way) we up the price. He gets so mad he demanded to speak to a manager. “Sure! I’ll be right back.” I then walk around the aisle and return to a introduce myself and ask how I can help him. He’s so flustered looking back and forth between us. Throws up his arms with a string of profanity and left. Don’t be disrespectful to sales associates. We have more power than you realize and we’ve already dealt with far too many jerks.

    Sexist: A boy in my class was talking about how the men burning women for being smart and stealing there ideas were smart, and said it proved men were smarter. Racist: The same boy as above (who is white) was defending the fact slave owners got reparation and not slaves and said it made sense. Homophobic: I am a closeted lesbian, and I am trying to get my parents opinions on gays to see if it's safe to come out. I managed to bring it up by talking to my dad about his sister (who is also a lesbian). We are Christian, so I asked him why God would make being gay a sin (I don't think it is but they do) if being gay wasn't a choice. He said maybe it is a choice and they want us to think it isn't, which is probably the stupidest thing he's ever said, and he's said some stupid stuff.

One suddenly bumps me hard with his shoulder and I heard him say “she wants to be a man so I’ll treat her like one” which couldn’t be further from the truth. I love being a woman. Some people judge based on appearance. There’s so much more to me than just my sexuality. Just be kind folks.

    Again, these things cut off my answers! So we were white, Upper Middle class, and lived in a town of about 7,000 ppl. Two of my friends started dating really nice, hardworking, super smart guys-it just so happened to be that the girls were white cheerleaders, the guys were black football players. Both guys got full rides to colleges (one to Stanford for academics, the other to the freaking Air Force Academy-a school with one of the hardest admission requirements in the USA), yet my father could only focus on the fact that they were dating white girls. He tried to force me not to be friends with them anymore because they were "N-word Lovers", called it disgusting etc. We had an argument to end all arguments and I moved out 2 weeks later. Haven't seen or heard from him in years now.... except to hear that my mom FINALLY divorced his psycho ass. We're so much happier without him in our lives, but it's a bittersweet, hollow feeling, seeing good dads and knowing I never had that nor will I ever have it...🥺🤬🖕😣😥

Even if both of them were busy talking people waited for them instead of talking to me. Mind you, I am 40+ and look nothing like a hostess - but still everyone seems to have thought I was there to smile and wave. Unfortunately, my 2 colleagues weren‘t able to answer most of the questions as I am the expert (hence the reason I was there) and had to refer almost everyone to me. Then the queued up to talk to me.

    Well I on more than one occasion told someone when I found out they were gay that I didn't care that they were gay I just didn't want them hitting on me. Did I think that getting hit on by a gay guy would turn me gay or something? I didn't realize I was being homophobic. This was in-between the time I was very anti gay because that's the way I was taught and now. I don't care what you are. If a gay man hit on me now I would be a little flattered but I would respectfully decline which is exactly what I would do if an attractive woman hit on me.

Generally, though, the comment is used as an argument against gay marriage. Basically they attempt to validate a Christian version of sharia law.

I never use it but I looked him in the eyes and said sternly “I wasn’t speaking to you and I’m not your N:::.” He just looked at me like wtf because he was never called out on using that word. He even called the boss that once. He was told to stop doing it but never did. Just hate how some people let stuff go instead of calling them out in it. The music the artists make, the people who feed into it buying it, the people listening to it an singing along and the little ones not being taught it’s a bad word stumps me. Equality mean equality.

    I used to have a friend on Facebook that would post racist BS and I would constantly call him out for it. He never had a response to me, until the day he posted a meme that asked why we didn't have a 'White History Month'. I responded by asking him if he'd ever heard of every single other month of the year. He commented back with (his exact words) "I don't post these things for you to comment on, and if you love them so much why don't you go paint yourself brown." I was responding with "Well, besides the fact that that would be very insulting to people of color, I would rather be associated with them than with bigots like you." but, unfortunately, he had apparently blocked me right after he responded to my post.
