29 People Call Out What Things We Should Stop Accepting As Normal And Call Them What They Are – Sexist

Some people just deserve a kick in the nuts sometimes! My mom had endometriosis and it was awful!

Its not excusable for male doctors to think about a patients *possible future husband* before their actual female patient sitting in front of them, but hey...they do!

Indeed, if his intentions was purely to protect her. I know of women who absolutely did not want to have children. And when they hit 35 they suddenly change their mind. This is why doctors are that reluctant to tie the tubes.

Yes, it is sometimes the jerkwads more than deserve it

When a woman or girl gets pregnant against her will, people tell her to "just go through with it." Doctors can refuse to perform a hysterectomy because a woman's body apparently belongs to some unknown man who apparently is her future husband whom she needs to ask permission of. An 11 year old girl from Argentina was forced to carry and give birth to her rapist's baby. So, I don't know about you, but I think some people genuinely DO see women as walking fetus incubators.

You sound like a sassy little bitch, Benny. Calm your tits or actually try to form a point other than “nuh uh girl.”

It does fit THE narrative here Ben *eyeroll* stay on the fence on this one little man, you'll get the s**t kicked out of you either way you go with your narrative.

People are not trained to see women as birthing factories. That's just silly to even say and the fact that you think that only means you have f****d up people in your life or live in a fantasy world. Grow up.

I attended a Catholic high school during a period where the dress code for female students was dramatically tightened. This was largely done as a result of fashion trends. Do you remember 2003/2004? Low-rise pants were the thing, and there was a significant amount of prominently-visible butt crack amongst female students. The dress code was previously quite open, requiring the school monogram shirt and olive or khaki pants for both genders, optional uniform skirts for women. Their solution was to force all students to wear monogram uniform pants, which were available in regular mens cut, or high-waisted ladies cut (which was extremely out of fashion at the time). Nearly the entire female student body decided to go with the skirt. I have to wonder how many female-oppressive dress codes date to that timeframe.

Why not let people choose. I am married and use both Ms. and Mrs. depending on the circumstances. I like being a wife and a Mrs, but sometimes my marital status is my business.

How would one pronounce that?

I was always taught that Miss meant never married. Ms. meant widowed or divorced. Mrs. meant married. These days they seem to have lost all their meanings for the most part and many (younger?) people don't know the difference.

Eh, not really. Though it's hard to find its exact origins, it dates back to at least 1901 and was probably a shortened form of "Mistress". However, a woman named Sheila Michaels popularized the term in the late 1960s specifically as a term that was meant to NOT designate a woman's marital status at all. I believe most etiquette actually prefers the term "Mrs." for a widow unless she specifically requests otherwise.

No it wasn't. It was created to be used when a woman's marital status was unknown.

I found out that "Ms" (abbreviation of "Mistress" in 17/18th C) became a way of addressing a woman whose marital status was unknown to you (because apparently Miss would be insulting to a married woman, and Mrs would be a way of pointing out the failures of an unmarried woman. sigh)

Several of those European countries ditched the marriage-related feminine titles years ago. For example, in Germany all women are now referred to as Frau, whether married or not, and Fräulein is only used for girls (under 18). Similarly in France, all women are madam and mademoiselle is just for girls.

I found that Since "J" (for Jody) comes before "R" (Robert,) she is always listed first no matter who makes the loan, the most money etc.
