50 Women Who Called Out Sexist Things That Are Still Blatantly Accepted (New Pics)
Interview
We have come a long way since the dark times of first-wave feminism when for a whole 70 years, women fought for their right to vote. During second-wave feminism, a fight began for a wider range of issues, from the workplace to de facto inequalities, family and many more.
With the French philosopher Simone De Beauvoir’s “The Second Sex” released back in 1949, it paved the way to the more equal society we live in. Today, we will shortly be heading into 2023, but sadly, there’s still a lot to do. From the gender pay gap to the pink tax, to the lack of women in positions of power, our society is still pretty much governed by misogynistic and sexist attitudes toward women.
Luckily, there’s this corner of Reddit known as “TrollXChromosomes” which joins people with zero tolerance for sexism of all kinds. Below we wrapped up the newest batch of the posts shared here, so scroll down and be sure to check out our previous article right here.

Sexism is linked to beliefs around the fundamental nature of women and men and the roles they should play in society. Sexist assumptions about women and men, which manifest themselves as gender stereotypes, can rank one gender as superior to another.
Despite legal frameworks set up across Europe and the US to prevent discrimination and promote equality, women are still underrepresented in decision-making roles, left out of certain sectors of the economy, primarily responsible for unpaid care work, paid less than men and disproportionately subject to gender-based violence. Sexist attitudes, practices and behavior contribute to these inequalities day to day.

That post really made me smile. There are some awful dangerous men/women out there. Really nice to hear a positive example of human decency x
Found This At My School
First off, we have to make one thing very clear–sexism is harmful. Not only does it produce feelings of worthlessness, self-censorship, and changes in behavior, it causes a deterioration in health and wellbeing. While sexism lies at the root of gender inequality, it affects women and girls disproportionately.
According to data from Human Rights Channel, women spend almost twice as much time as men on unpaid housework (OECD countries). Moreover, a whopping 80% of women stated that they have been confronted with the phenomenon of “mansplaining” and “manterrupting” at work.
Troll Victory!
I'm so glad she got her moment, getting to name him publicly as he deserves. He now has to endure a tiny fraction of what he put her through. (Writing that second sentence made me sad.)
I Actually Chuckled At This One
Goated Tactic But Tbh I Would Never Have The Ovaries To Do This
one part of me wants to congratulate OP for being impowered, the other (way bigger) part thinks it's sad that she had to publish very private photos just to prevent a man from harming her..
Mansplaining comes from the assumption that women and other non-men don't have the intelligence to understand the topic at hand, which is a sexist and misogynistic assumption. The mansplainer will explain something that the woman probably already knows already, usually in a condescending and infantilizing way.
To find out more about this type of aggression towards women that many of them face on a daily basis, especially at work, Bored Panda reached out to Nicole Froio, a feminist writer, researcher and sociology PhD student.
Despite the fact that mansplaining has received quite a lot of attention and acquired a really bad reputation, many men do it nevertheless. Froio argues that an unconscious ego is to blame, “where they believe they're the most knowledgeable person in the room.”

On other occasions, the feminist writer believes that men simply can't help themselves. In fact, Froio argues that men who mansplain are mostly oblivious to the fact that it’s demeaning to women. “Which is why I always recommend that people ask whether the person they're speaking to knows what they're talking about. It's just polite to check so you don't spend minutes telling them things they already know,” she added.
Great Advice
Please ladies ask for help and please please other people help them. I've been in a position where I was being harassed in public and not a single person tried to do a thing to help me.
Seems Fair To Me
Sadly, I'm sure there are plenty of old white dudes in elected positions reading these and wondering what any of it had to do with reproductive rights...

For any woman experiencing mansplaining in the work environment, Froio suggests to politely respond in ways that make men know women are also knowledgeable. “So for example, saying things like ‘I know’ or ‘Yes, that's exactly what I was saying!’ or simply showing the person you're speaking to that you know what they're talking about by interjecting with a piece of knowledge on the subject you are talking about.,” she said.

And I Am All For It
Most importantly, we have to start treating men's opinions as they treat everyone's opinions, Froio argues: “as opinions and not inherently knowledge.”
“Do not be afraid to interject and disagree. It's important to openly challenge this kind of behavior. I don't know if that means it'll be stamped out for sure, but it's a daily battle to make ourselves heard,” the feminist writer concluded.

I'd never let random rightwingers adopt a child I was carrying for the simple reason that I know I would be dooming it to a life of racism, evangelical christianity, and white supremacism.
save the foetus because it can grow up to be cannon fodder in our incessant wars, I think is what you meant to say.
Load More Replies... For some people, it isn't simply a matter of not wanting children; they don't want to be pregnant. They don't want something growing inside them. They don't want the physical changes and health risks that come with pregnancy. They don't want to suffer the pain of childbirth. Adoption does nothing to resolve those issues.
Also it's way likely to kill you, especially for black women. There's so many ways that pregnancy can maim a woman too. Getting a legal abortion is way safer.

The option to adopt babies already exists, there are many more babies than people looking to adopt. Where are all the new unplanned and potentially unwanted babies going to go?
Babies are adopted out at extreme rates unless they're disabled tho?? Its anything thats older than a baby or MAYBE toddler that ends uo in foster care...

It's so much worse! Neydy Casillas and Sebastián Schuff are both lawyers who have spent their entire careers lobbying for extreme right-wing politicians, anti-LGBTQ legislation, anti-secular education, anti-gender equality, anti-COVID restrictions, anti-racial integration, anti-medicine, anti-everything! They've also been charged with violating campaign laws in Argentina. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2022/06/adopt-your-baby-meme-abortion-protest-roe.html

Half the sign is missing. It should say “Please don’t abort. We will adopt your healthy, white newborn baby. Everyone else is on their own and deserves whatever bad things that happen to the.”
For real. People are focused on the wrong problem. ffs

Okay, anyone who can ID any of these people, starting March 2023, we start sending them foster parent applications with cover letters saying their offer has been accepted, so please fill in this foster-to-adopt application, and submit it, so they can be approved to receive their new child.
I say this every chance I get. Because it's true. And what about women like my friend with one kidney who almost died during her first pregnancy. She was told not to have another. She got pregnant while on birth control and nearly lost her life before miscarrying. She should leave her son and a newborn motherless because of someone else's religious beliefs. I'm sick of this.
Many of these creeps were actually interviewed and not one couple (that I know of) intended to actually adopt. Think about it, if they were sincere, they either would have adopted already or be in the process of adopting. No reason to stand around with a big sign.
That there are more than 400,000 children languishing in the U.S. foster system says everything necessary to prove that pro-life people don't actually give a s**t about the life of a child.
I would argue a lot of “pro-life” people actually profoundly dislike babies and children. How can someone who believes children should be a punishment for having sex claim to care for them? To want a fetus who won’t survive long after birth to be born in excruciating pain and die rather than let women abort when needed, to want children born into homes where they aren’t wanted or won’t be well taken care of, aren’t stances of people who give one s**t about kids.

I'd rather have abortion than have these people raise my child. Just saying.
There are millions of kids waiting for parents, living in the worst possible conditions, being abused and God know what else and people with smile says this? I feeling sick when I see this amount of bullsh***. Just live your life and let other people live their lives. If they really would want to help then they would not stand there.
There is no way in hell I would let an evangelical family adopt any child. That's child abuse.
They just want babies. They don’t want children. They want a newborn baby.
The folks willing to adopt should sign up on a national registry, agree to pay all expenses related to the pregnancy including the mother's mental and physical health due to the pregancy, plus agree to adopt the baby regardles of it's physical or mental health.
"We will adopt your pure-blood-lily-white baby and proceed to brainwash it and turn it into another bible thumping hypocrite"

America, the land of the free, unless you’re a woman! The law makers over the pond always sound so hypocritical when complaining about regimes like ISIS, The Taliban etc!!!!
A lot of white couples only want to foster/adopt white babies, not children, especially children of color.(edited to add sorry for engaging a troll. I now see my error)

Infertility and childlessness are a totally different issue to adoption and shouldn't be lumped together. Why is the responsibility of those who can't have their own children to adopt. Why are those who can have children not pushed to adopt too? Children who are needing adoption, for the most part have been through the worst possible life. And yet we are wanting adults with no experience of raising children to take on parenting children with perhaps behavioural issues due to separation from parents or siblings, children who have been abused, and children who are damaged by the system. Even adopting babies can mean dealing with them detoxing from drugs and alcohol. And whilst I know this is not always the case, adoption is not the tidy way to give childless couples the child they want whilst also solving the social care issue! Adoption is also expensive, time consuming and

Why Do Men Need To Find The Most Creative Ways To Hate The Women And Girls In Their Lives?
I read an absolute game changer the other day, can't remember who or where so if anyone does... Basically, the time when women are most "irrational and might do something stupid because PMS hurr hurr hurr" is when their hormone profile most resembles that of a man. Increased testosterone, decreased oestrogen mean an irrational, bad-tempered and occasionally violent woman is merely acting like a man 1 week out of 4. I think it's probably men who shouldn't be allowed near anything more dangerous than a paperclip.
Shame

well it's still patriarchy in a way if you have your dad's last name, you just gave their kids their grandpa's name ;) My parents always gave ppl who told them that "their name will die out as they only have a daughter" s**t, becaue it's just a last name, so what?

The problem, I'd say, is not that they're attracted to them, but rather that they act on their attraction in creepy ways and they can't take a hint that their advances are unwanted. I know some people might not agree with me, but I don't think there's anything wrong with attraction, just with actually acting on it

I didn't realize that I had been a victim of sexual abuse until I talked about it in therapy last year. A guy I went to school with would feel on my legs, put his hand between my legs, and try to put my hands between his legs. I had to go sit with two other guys to get him to leave me alone. Now whenever I see him I feel so dirty.

just read an article about a sanctuary for Wildlife in Switzerland.. the author is a woman but how she depicts the employees.. the female vet is "tall, skinny and blonde".. the female assistant is "grey haired".. the male assistant is "a former lawyer".. because of coure, women are defined by how they look and men by their job.. and this was a quite a well known scientific magazine
Stupid question, but was the writer born female? I don't mean to offend, just curious to know why women who work in science would write like that. Especially as so many (including myself) have faced so much sexism we actively do our best to stamp it out and support each other.

A Woman, and or the child, can still die during child birth. So my question is, if the law forces a woman who was raped to go through child birth and she, and or the child, dies, does the rapist get charged for murder?
The rapist wouldn't even be charged for murder if he attacked the women during the last trimester of pregnancy and hit her until the baby died as long as she survived. They only call it murder when it's an abortion during the first trimester and done at the woman's request. If the man kills the pregnant woman or causes her to loose the child, even if he attacked her and stabbed her belly actively killing her baby in the womb, it would only be one murder if she dies and assault if she doesn't because a foetus has no legal rights as long as it's not an abortion that killed it

TERF means 'trans-exclusive radical feminist', basically a transphobe parading as a feminist. Karen might be negotiable, but TERF is a full stop because transphobes are also misogynists.
