Laura Bates, the founder of the Everyday Sexism Project, says that it seems to be increasingly difficult to talk about sexism, equality, and women's rights in a society that perceives to have achieved gender equality. "In this 'liberal', 'modern' age, to complain about everyday sexism or suggest that you are unhappy about the way in which women are portrayed and perceived renders you likely to be labeled 'uptight', 'prudish', a 'militant feminist', or a 'bra burner,'" she explained.
But just like Bates, there are plenty of women who prove this notion wrong. And you can find many of them on the subreddit r/TrollXChromosomes. It's an online community that invites to "come for the period comics" and "stay for the cultural awareness", and many, in fact, do — the subreddit has over 817K members. The content they share and produce tackles important gender issues in all sorts of fields, including sports, health care, and work.

A fetus isn't even a fetus until the end of the 8th week of pregnancy. Until then, it is still an embryo. And "cardiac activity" isn't a heartbeat.

Abortion Rights Is A Human Rights
Is it really that way around in the US? There should be a written document by the deceased where they DENY taking their organs if they don't want it, not the other way around. No document = organs should be donated.
Every Single One
Once I was out on my bike. A small forest path that I've ridden many times. When I turned a corner, there was a guy standing between the trees, looking at me crazy and smiling lasciviously and saying "Hello". I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN FASTER IN MY WHOLE LIFE. Never been there again...
Where’s The Lie
I have honestly read a comment recently from a woman who was told by a man that they had better be smiling under their mask. Wtaf
Never Thought Of It Like This
Not to stroke my own ego, but I once heard someone say "She's only around because of her cupsize" and I responded with "Yeah, something must be really wrong with our boss to hire people solely because he needs boobs of a certain size in his field of vision during the workday, I wonder how he manages to run a company that way," and everyone was quiet.
Truth
I wonder if they have those sexist rules to encourage men to watch women play sports. It's bloody ridiculous and absolute bullshit.

It's A Step In The Right Direction
One of the scariest things about the Sarah Everard case is the fact that it was an off duty police officer who killed her. A policeman who had been spoken to about indecent exposure a week or so before. Girls are taught to find a police officer if we feel unsafe, who do we go to now.
Who Else Can Relate To This?
It's good to realize that though. Stop those shows with you. It's also why it's so important to reread your childhood storybooks with your current awareness before reading them to your kids. Some of them have themes you really don't want to pass down.

Makeup
Or the opposite: "You'd look so much prettier if you'd wear makeup." Well, I feel absolutely comfortable without makeup, I hate the feeling of things on my face, and on top of that, I don't want to look pretty for a random stranger in the streets.

Some People Really Think That Pregnancy Is Easy, Huh
It's not pro-life, it's pro-birth. Pro-birthers generally give zero f***s about human life for roughly 80 years of life. They only care about 9 months of gestation.

Yes They Can Be
I think it's important to note that men are actually wired this way. My mom made a decent feminist out of me. Try to do half the work in the household, paternity leave for a total of 2 years (2 kids) ... I'd say I'm firmly in the feminist camp. Yet I still notice that first impressions are always base emotions such as "I'd hit that". I notice that it's just what my lizard brain tells me ... it's my conscious decision not to be a creep about it and behave normally. What I'm trying to say is that boys are not so much "taught" to be creeps, they're "not taught" how to behave properly, "not taught" that we're not cavemen anymore.
Call Them Out
I dumped one my best friend, not for being a sex offender, but for simply not having respect for his fiancee and sleeping around. And for disparaging me for not wanting to behave in a similar fashion. I tried being tactful about it at first and tell him that I wasn't ok with his behaviour but eventually had to block him, in his mind "out of the blue." One of our mutual friends had no idea what he was doing and told me he was heartbroken and fell into depression for having lost my friendship. Then I told her why, and she blocked him too. I'm not saying I've always been the ideal role model, but at least I can recognize the errors of my past and work towards rectifying my shortcomings. Edit: spelling

This Is, Unfortunately, True For Me Too. How Old Were You The First Time You Had To Actively Try To Escape Some Creepy Adult Dude? I Was In Elementary School
It was at a church festival, I was 9 or 10 years old. There was can-throwing, and every time I bent down for the ball, a repulsive older guy grabbed my bum and groaned intrusively. He did this with all the children, boys and girls. Fortunately, I didn't live far away and ran home quickly to tell my mom all this. She tried to hold the guy accountable, but he had disappeared.

The "Men Will Fake Being Trans" Weirdos Always Forget About Fragile Masculinity
According to a quick Google search, there are roughly 50 million trans people on the planet. Don't come into these comments with your story of a handful of people with felonies who did this once. Y'all, we're talking 50 million people being denied the right to pee because of a few weirdos. If ALL men or ALL women were banned from public restrooms because some men/women did something inappropriate, y'all would be pretty upset, right? Don't punish everyone for what you fear from a few. You're not the gender police. Let people pee.
Og Post In R/Dundermifflin But I Thought You Trolls Would Appreciate It
I remember 15 years ago when I was in high school, the girl who got pulled out of class the most for dress code violations was a burn victim. Looking back, that girl clearly lived through some s**t and was trying to reclaim her own skin. There was zero reason for adults to keep interrupting her education to punish her for that.
Loyalty
Teach your sons too. & children of any gender. Emotional abuse knows no gender restrictions. I don't care if I get downvoted for turning the topic away from women's issues, this is really important. It could be life-saving.

I like the idea of making all men stay off the streets after dark. What would you ladies do on a night out if no men were around? I would walk and enjoy the night air.
