I know a whole lot, but I’ll stick to a few... "Every time I hug women it's only so I can feel their b00bs" - some random guy at a festival I overheard who was going around giving a lot of 'friendly hugs' out. "If women are so smart, then why can nobody name a single female philosopher unless you search for them on Wikipedia?" - some guy in the YouTube comments section. Me: "Maybe it's because throughout human history, women becoming philosophers was rarely encouraged within mainstream society? Also, becoming a philosopher is only one pursuit of intellect, the first computer programmer was a woman named Ada Lovelace." Me: "Scientifically, all humans start off female in the womb." My dad: "Luckily I was born the better gender then." Me: "What? But mom told you kept wanting to have a baby girl instead of a boy." Dad: "Yeah, because girls are more family orientated. So you will be able to look after me when I'm older." Me: "..." Some random guy during a VR shooter game: "You're only good at playing the game, because your boyfriend must of boosted your elo." Me: "umm, this game doesn't even have an elo or ranking system btw." Me playing a video game: "I'm only able to buy (a weapon) next round, I'm poor right now." Random player: "ha! just like all women, because all women are poor." Me: "Do you even know who Kim Kardashian is?" (Yeah, let's just say if these guys ever participated in a legal Ayahuasca ceremony, they'd be really embarrassed with the spirit of Mother Gaia showing them their place.) 😂

Item 2: a single female philosopher? OK easy, Simone de Beauvoir. But, here's more. 1. Hypatia of Alexandria, 2. Susanne Langer, 3. Iris Murdoch, 4. Mary Midgely, 5. Angela Davis, 6. Martha Nussbaum, 7. Judith Butler, 8. Ruth Chang, 9. Sara Ahmed, etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patricia_Churchland is my favourite. Here's a list of I dunno about 500 or so. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_women_philosophers

If I was the Aunt, I'd straight up tell him that he wouldn't be allowed to see MY baby boy 🤦 that I had given birth to with MY 'so-called useless' body & psyche. The grandpa's toxic mindset is useless to my baby's healthy mental development. My dad was the opposite though, he really wanted to have a daughter because 'girls are more family orientated' so I'd “look after him when he'd become older.” So to him 'girls were more useful', but only since it would benefit him 😒 This is why I'm happily single for life and emotionally independent now, freedom has never felt so blissful 😆 I can do whatever I want any time now, and any non-serious lovers fulfill my needs.

Here's some logic. If women shouldn't play sports, why do we have women's sports teams? Women's basketball, Women's volleyball, and much more. On a related note, it shouldn't be the "NBA" for men and the "WNBA" for women. It should be the "MNBA", because there are two national basketball associations and two genders that are mainly associated with sports.

When I did Jiu-Jitsu as a teenager (I was somewhere around 5'10" tall, and weighed around 180 pounds), I can tell you one of the toughest sparring partners was a woman who was around 5'2" to 5'5" tall, and someone who I easily outweighed by at least a minimum of 50 to 60 pounds (not sure about her weight, so this is me assuming, because I didn't ask, and I felt it would be rude to do so). She was a natural grappler, and would get the better of me 9 times out of the 10 times I sparred with her.

I worked nights at a grocery store while I was in college. I had started in video and ended up helping the office checkers with closing procedures because they were swamped. The front end manager who worked evenings had the office checkers train me and once they were satisfied I knew what I was doing, the front end manger put me in for promotion to office checker. When the male store manager (who only worked days) found out he wasn't happy. I was working in the office and he came in and said, "I don't care if had you trained and you are already doing the job, you aren't eye candy so you will never be an office checker in my store." Thankfully, the idiot said it in front of two of the office checkers I worked with. I filed a grievance with the union and got backpay for the office checker work and training I had done, then immediately quit. The store manager got demoted and moved to a store in the middle of nowhere. The front end manager became the store manager and one of the other checkers who also hadn't been eye candy got promoted to office checker.

Lyoness 2 years ago
First of all, it's "paid more", not "payed more". Second, the idea that only men are in trades is faulty and outdated. An estimated 10% of skilled trade jobs are held by women and there are more joining every year. Are you saying that none of them count? And third, this entire comment discounts everything else that women contribute to society. Women work just as hard as men and are then expected to manage households (cook clean shop laundry appointments etc etc) AND care for their children because so many male partners complain that they've worked all day and shouldn't have to keep working when they get home, or "babysit" their own kids when they're just being a parent. As a whole men DON'T do more than women, they do less.

He tried to tell me I should take a specific one because the walls were pink. He also always got me Barbies when I asked for toy cars and wouldn’t let my brother try on nail polish when he was only like 5 and wanted to see what it was like. He also should know perfectly well I don’t like pink (no offense to those of you that do) but he makes no effort to remember anything about me or my brother (favorite colors, foods, tv shows, conversation topics) despite seeing us every day.

You have NO need to apologize. You are having to deal with really poisonous sexism because it comes from your father....the person who is SUPPOSED to be teaching you to celebrate who you are.

Sadly this happens a lot in teaching positions for kids with special needs.

When I was in sixth grade, these two seventh-grade girls walked up to me and started talking to me. They asked personal questions and said I was hot and that my name was "Sexy". Now, these kinds of jokes tend to go over my head, but at the time, I was obese and altogether a weird person, so I knew there was a trick ahead. I got up and left, and they asked to touch my d**k. When my aunt reported this, and I identified them, they went unpunished, and lied there way out of this. There was security camera footage clearly showing them talking to me, and I personally identified them. They had told the counselor that all they said was that I was hot (which I still would have gotten in BIG trouble for if I did it to them).

I mean he wasn't wrong, Captain Marvel isn't really the best hero. I would give him the benefit of doubt for not knowing how to word it better though, since the main cast of Marvel heroes is mostly male

that's true, but he's also said other things showing that he thinks women aren't as good as men

It's funny because Captain Marvel was originally a guy, so there is no reason for her to be any less cool than her male counterpart, making her just as cool as any guy superhero (Except Ultraman because no one's cooler than him.

I remember getting told that when I worked at an off-licence (liquor store for the Americans, bottle shop for the Aussies). I said I would go and ask my manager to speak to them while I hauled 4 full crates of beer through to the back :)

My gran on my father’s side expected me to be a boy before I was born, and was upset when I turned out to be a girl. But then later she was ok with it, so I guess it doesn’t count.

And because of that it's illegal in Germany to tell the fetuses gender before the 2nd trimester. That's the exact time when abortions without medical or severe psychological reason can't be done anymore. To protect (mainly female) fetuses from getting aborted because of their gender.

We never wanted to know the sex of either of our bebbies. It's too much of a nice surprise to get a healthy baby - who gives a flying monkey's what's between its legs.

I got turned down for an out-of-uni type job that largely involved catering, making tea, cleaning etc because (and I quote) "you're perfect for the job but you're a woman and we don't want to hire women for this job because we'll look sexist". So... I can't work for you because I'm female... and you don't hire females... so you don't look sexist... right...

Absolutely agree - standing up for your beliefs only works if you actually believe it and work to better it! Not just flagging "ooh look at us, aren't we cool"

A bloke in a pub who's just finished an Andy McNab novel (he had it with him and couldn't stop talking about it), told me that women can't write books. And NAME 10 female novelists! I said - Margaret Atwood, Jane Austin, Ruth Rendell, Toni Morrison - and before I could get any further he said ' yeah s**t stuff for women. Not real writing'. And then he picks up his pint glass and pours his beer down his neck so that I had the most appallingly magnified view of the inside of his mouth via the bottom of the glass. Puts his glass down and turns his back on me. Worst of it was that he made me feel those great women were actually diminished by men like him, because in many respects they were. And I couldn't deny that fact to myself. Never forgotten that big 6ft weak 30 odd yr old child who still clings to his book for security at night. Circa 1998

I have many haha but here’s three: ‘Ew… you have hairy man arms.’ We were 11, I am a girl, and my guy friend said that, just cos I have a LITTLE hair visible on my arms. Ah yes, I’m sorry, all women should take the form of naked mole rats! 😃 ‘When you said you play hockey I thought you meant you were a cheerleader. Girls can’t play hockey, their too weak to hit the ball.’ Yes. Because ‘ I play hockey’ can easily be mistake for ‘ I’m a cheerleader.’ I mean I’m a tiny little woman, so obviously you took it that way 🥺🥺 Him: ‘You should watch how much you eat.’ Me: ‘why?’ Him: ‘because it’s not ok for girls to get fat. You know, men work so hard they are allowed to eat whatever, women just stand there and look pretty.’ First of all, I’m nowhere near ‘overweight’ and even so, there is NOTHING wrong with ANYONE being overweight. I just stared at him until he left because I made him feel so uncomfortable lol 😂

I won our science fair in my last year of high school and my biology teacher 1.Tried to talk the judges out of giving me the award and 2. When he finally gave in, he handed me the plaque and whispered that he knew someone else had done the work. I went into class the next day with 3 months worth of notes in my own handwriting that he'd approved every week while I did the experiment. He just hadn't read them.

I overheard two girls at my school talking about chess. One of the girls was saying that a boy said to her that it was weird that the queen in chess can move in all directions in an unlimited amount of squares, but that the king can only move one square at a time. And then she replied to him”Because men are useless”. And then when the boy got annoyed at her, she said that he shouldn’t get annoyed and that he was overreacting. And then her friend agreed with her.

Okay, let's think back to maybe... second grade? My gym teacher wanted help putting things away and he told all the boys to come help him. I wanted to help, so I came up, and he told me that girls couldn't do this. Another time, he ran an activity where we had to jump over something, and he wouldn't let the girls do it because he didn't think we could. ALSO he called boys by their names and all of the girls 'Sweetheart.' Sexist guy.

I had a substitute for 4 months who wouldn't stop calling the girls "sweetheart" or "darling". Excuse me, NO. He was a 60-year-old man who sexually assaulted a boy and was targeting the African-American kids in our classroom. We continually asked him to stop, but he wouldn't until we brought this to the PRINCIPAL. I'm glad he's gone.

I was a very naive teenager. Now that’s out of the way… My mom, me, and my sister had a girl’s day. We got dressed up and had our pictures taken. During dinner with my family that night my father asked me how my day was. “The photographer told me I have bedroom eyes!” I said, thinking it was a compliment…not realizing the enormity of what this grown man told a 14 year old. As an adult now I look back in disgust. It is not a compliment to sexualize a child.

I was at a grocery store with my dad, and this 18-ish cashier (so, like, 3 years older than me) was checking our food out, right? When my dad’s finished paying, this dude starts to hand us our grocery bags. I try to grab one and the dude shoved the bag away from me and said ‘your dad is the man, he can grab the bags’. Suffice to say, I grabbed all the grocery bags from my dad and carried all of them out to the car. F**k that cashier.

Auto Shop class in high school. I couldn't find the battery in a car. Asked for help and got called a dumb blonde as the teacher looked under the hood to point it out to me. He couldn't find it either. Turns out it was in a compartment behind the passenger seat. When I complained to my counselor I was told to ignore it and they acted like it wasn't a big deal. Never went back to that class.

In sixth grade we had a substitute (male). We were watching a video for the whole period and I have hearing loss so I need subtitles and I asked him to put them on and he said sure. He couldn’t figure out how to and kept calling on male students to help him. I volunteered several times and I was the one who asked anyway. He didn’t listen to me so I got a D because I couldn’t understand the video.

To me isn't something said, it's a tacit (unspoken agreement) that if a girl or woman does something; no matter how brilliant, how far reaching, how supportive, it's insulting to the patriarchy. The story of women doing their best is told as: It's less that what a man could achieve, if he wasn't domineered by women who want to take his rightful place. OMG take a look people at the women who've been side lined because to do something better than a man, was the worse insult a man could get. He'd lose respect. He'd be a girl. He'd get told 'My daughter is better than you'. It insults us all in its stupidity. It's stupid stupid sexism.
