50 Women Who Called Out Sexist Things That Are Still Blatantly Accepted (New Pics)
InterviewWe 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.

Regulate Guns Like Abortions!
So glad I live in a country where abortion is legal and assault weapons aren't.....
same. Also I live in a country where going to military service is mandatory for every man, they keep their rifles and ammunition at home, yet there has only been one reported case of someone shooting someone with that gun in the last 20 yrs (a man killing his ex gf). Wonder why.

this might be trying to prove a point but they absolutely should make people go through this to buy a gun
I will never understand what's going on with USA. How can American people allow so many guns? All the school's attacks? And what's happening lately with women's rights? You need to do something.
Half of America is completely fuucked up. The trouble is we don't know which half
Load More Replies...The sad part is, it's our politicians who are blocking abortion regardless of the nation's views. Upwards of 70% of Americans want to protect some form of abortion. You can obviously argue that we elected these idiots, but in many cases, it's likely gerrymandering at it's best.
The thing to understand about America is that there's an amendment in our constitution that guarantees the right to bear arms: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” This made sense in 1791 when it was passed, but clearly the world has changed. Regardless, anytime gun control is brought up, certain people start squawking about their 2nd Ammendment rights. It's so frustrating.
Longer Skirts
That's much more difficult. Treating women like humans needs some level of intelligence. The opposite can be done with a single-digit IQ.

at my school I get in trouble for having my socks above my knees as it apparently sexualises my thighs
Ugh, that's so wrong in so many ways. My heart truly goes out to you, Ruby.
Load More Replies...It’s thanks to this f*****g mindset that we have the “she was asking for it!” argument
I have a brilliant idea. This may take some time to digest, so before I get any knee jerk hate just sleep on it…. Let the little “ temptresses” wear pants. I know I know, I’m sidestepping the main issue, but I have a suspicion that the truly sick in this situation might not be who you think. Maybe if the girls weren’t forced to wear skirts like it’s still 1850, there’s be less worry about said skirts.
Then someone is just going to say "her pants are too tight, and no one can concentrate because we can see her girly parts." Ugh.
Load More Replies...If most men had as little self control as some people seem to think, they should never have any power ever. House arrest would be more appropriate. Seriously, real men do not rape, exploit or otherwise hassle any woman or girl. Regardless of what they may or may not be wearing.
That’s disgusting why would they let creeps like that work with children?? 🤢 and what he hell is sexual about knees??
The girl's skirts and the boy's shorts should have the same length requirement
Sign From The Women’s March In Texas
I dumped a "Bible study" I was going to when one of the women in the group stated that it was God's will that women who underwent abortions suffered or died from them - that it was their punishment for having such a procedure done. I had brought up this exact point - banning abortions isn't going to stop women from getting them, only stop them from getting safe ones. She was like, good, that's what they deserve. It's "God's will" that they suffer and die from getting an abortion. Nope. I'm outta there.
This is so very true. By trying to end abortion, you will only keep women and young girls from getting safe abortions.
My religious studies teacher's best friend died from a back alley abortion at age 14.
The right-wing poopy heads think outlawing guns will mean that only outlaws will have guns, but outlawing abortion will make it go away. Ha! Ha! A thousand times HA!!!
Load More Replies...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.
Yes
They are not dumb, they want power over women's bodys.

Load More Replies...It's about time we made the men just as responsible for the pregnancy as women .. I love men but they have had a free ride for to long now
I think the issue is that not just are they taking away abortions they aren't providing alternatives, if a woman can't have an abortion but she has access to birth control, planned Parenthood advice and all other means to protect from unwanted pregnancy I see that as a win-win for both sides ."you can't have abortions but we will do everything to ensure you can prevent an unwanted pregnancy and if that fails we will also provide means to protect you and your baby." You can't pull the rug of people and expect them not to complain.

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
I'm a man and I'm appalled by my fellow 'men.' My little sister was serisouly attacked outside a nightclub last weekend and my anger is through the roof. How dare a man lay his hands on her. How dare ANY man lay a hand on any woman. It's up to us a men to call that sh¡t out when we see it.
Load More Replies...Is wholesome-est a word? Because, it is now! This is the wholesome-est post ever.
What we need is people alerting someone to the guy. Warning one woman doesn't do anything for the rest. If he'd been a creep, he just would have moved to a different gym.
I think this guy did it right. If the woman said she didn't know him, then he should have alerted someone. If he jumps right to alerting someone, we now have a scene in which the guy recording is getting interrogated or worse, accused of of being inappropriate and called out in front of everyone (who may jump to their own conclusions and start berating an innocent person). The woman now finds herself having to difuse the situation and now their both likely upset and embarrassed for no reason. Why jump right to worst case scenario when a quick, discreet conversation can clear everything up?
Load More Replies...most likely this is so she can watch herself back to make sure her form is correct. Dancers do the same thing.

Every male teenager (heterosexual )is going to get distracted by girls no matter what they wear. And I don’t know what to tell you about homo/bisexual teens. I suppose you could just send everyone home. Anyway, if an adult approaches a young woman and tells her she is too tempting to be at school, then that teacher is a problem. Male or female, that adult was fantasizing about teenagers and is trying to shift some shame.
Why don't they straight up say wear a bed sheet with 3 holes so no one will be distracted. Even then they will find some excuse. Idiots.
Add a cushion sheet, dye everything blue or black and you've have the basic model of a burka... well, okay the arms still might show to some extent here. (And now I'm going to see myself out before I'm getting even more dark and sarcastic...)
Load More Replies...They don't let girls wear pajama pants to school. If they do they get dress coded and give a pair of black tight leggings to wear instead. Please tell me how those are better than loose fitting pj pants? Blows my damn mind. Not that there's anything wrong with leggings I just don't understand the difference and why they're made to change.
Another thing you can take from this is not to teach girls that the boys learning opportunities are more important than theirs
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!

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..
She probably figured out a naked body is nothing to be ashamed of, but blackmailing is. We were all born naked and most naked beaches and saunas are very serene and safe places Netherlands, Europe...). No need to be ashamed of nudity.
Load More Replies...I don't have any nudes of anyone I know. I always thought it was weird. Why take pictures when the real thing is right there in front of you?
sending them to a partner to tease them a little, as a memory.. stuff they can look at as a lot of us don't live with our partner.. I, as a woman, like nudes of men I've been close to, it's a special kind of intimacy. Of course those pics are just for my eyes, I don't show or share them. But yes, I've become very careful with sending some of me, if I do it's only to someone I fully trust and taken from an angle where it's impossible to tell who it is
Load More Replies...The future is hard to predict, and you most certainly will not be the same person then as you are now. Love has a tendency to hack our emotions, and though you may be madly in love today, and think that the future looking promising, things may go haywire very fast anywat. In fact the high divorce rate is a good indicator of how bad people are in general of predicting the strength of their relationships and what will happen in the future. Therefore: Do not ever let someone have such a powerful tool that can be used for blackmailing as nudes can be. Just don't send them to anyone, as they can easily be copied and end up somewhere where you certainly do not want them.
I don't know, my hubby and I have been together for nearly forty years, he has pics like this of me. I am old, and fat, so I don't think anyone wants to see that! Plus, he would never do such a thing.

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.”

The republicans should just get it over with and announce their unification with the Taliban.
Unfortunately our country is terrible at punishing rape in the first place. 26 Women credibly accused DeShaun Watson of sexual assault and too many people still think he is innocent.
AND...... AND- he will have fulfilled his "sentence" in a week or two and will be back to making MILLIONS and I mean MILLIONS of dollars.
Load More Replies...You have my vote for this law. Kill the rapists, send them to the hell they came from
Have y'all seen the new Doc on Netflix called the "State of Alabama vs Brittany Smith" it's a short watch. But it's another instance where a woman doesn't have the same rights as men.. but how when she's the victim she is literally punished for being one!
Pretty sure that never happened...but I fully agree. Something worse than death for the rapists. Murders take a life, that's beyond horrific, but every once in a while we've all thought, "What they did was wrong, but I get where they were coming from". Rape ruins a life forever. and that is a worse act to commit than just taking one. There isn't justification for it.
Wait, is it really a topic of discussion? Do politicians in the US seriously discuss that?
Yes, Republican Tony Tinderholt tried to push a bill that would charge women who have abortions, or the doctors who performed them, with homicide. This was in Texas, where such a charge is punishable by death. The bill did not pass, but that doesn't stop Republicans from their continued assault against women.

I read the best analysis of this. Weaponized incompetence is not about helplessness. It's about power and control. Those men want servants and staff.

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.
This is sadly common. Everybody waits for other people to move and no one does. If you're in danger or being harrassed, ask for help directly to one person, they will react.

Go up to ANY other woman or group of women/girls, the post is right we have all been there and tend to be very supportive in these matters, even if you are drunk do not be ashamed to want to have fun but feel uncomfortable with the person you are talking to, it's 2022 you are ALLOWED to have fun without the risk of someone taking advantage of you!
As an adult woman with no kids... I will go full "mama bear" mode so fast for any girl who comes up to me in this situation!

I was out one night and a young lady was having a great time on her own but I could see this very creepy guy watching her and slowly moving closer and closer. So I went over and said "Hi, Amy! Haven't seen you in so long!!" And leaned in to fake a hug and explain when she looked confused.
My mom told me to always cause a scene if someone was trying to kidnap me
I cannot emphasise enough the importance of this! Furthermore, it is perhaps even more important for fellow men to call out the behaviour. Whatever your gender, I implore you not to be just another silent bystander. It literally saves lives.
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...
Um, I’ve made a makeshift pad out of toilet paper as an adult. More than once.

My hubby cleaned me up in the bathroom after our second child was born via c-section and I couldn't wipe or bend over. I thank him a lot, and he once told me to stop because it was not a big deal. I'm crying right now because not every woman finds that, and we all deserve it.
"Well why don't you just hold it in then???" I can just hear the idiotic replies.
If your life and health don't take the risk during pregnancy, you can't write reproductive laws.
I'm Pregnant, And My Husband's Parents Want To See My Vajayjay In Action
Well, maybe it's just me, but why would you want to be there in the first place? There is nothing even remotely worth seeing during a delivery. And you have DECADES to stare at the child afterwards.
I disagree. I saw all three of my kids come into this world and was able to catch two of them. (the third was just too fast and the nurse was there first) I still stand by saying it was the best thing I have ever seen in my life. But that being said, the mother still has full say of who is going to be sharing this with her, no one should be able to infringe on that.

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 while they try to criminalise abortion when it's done at the woman's demand it's still not murder to cause a woman to lose her baby against her will by attacking her or even killing her while pregnant because legally the unborn have no rights and are still not considered human enough to call their death in the womb murder if the woman was attacked or dies as well.Think hard about that.

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.

Boys were instructed to wear suit jackets over a shirt, and "girls will be provided a black drape". A BLACK DRAPE. Why not just make them red, in preparation for when they're adult women in the US? /s
That's what girls have been wearing in their senior photos for decades. It's just a piece of fabric meant to look like a fancy velvet dress without having to actually put a dress on. I don't think that's on par with this post.

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.

Load More Replies...This guy is obviously a bit ignorant when it comes to female bodies but is it entirely down to him? Almost every picture online or in magazines is airbrushed to an unattainable standard. So when these young guys see a real woman, they are confused and think something is wrong because she doesn't look like the media portrays women. I worry for my nieces because the pressure to achieve this look is only getting more intense.
Is it too much to expect males to understand women have veins now??? Oy vey.

You can see veins in my cheeks too sometimes. This guy is too used to seeing fake airbrushed women and clearly has not been with many real ones. Or human being for that matter, men have visible veins too.
In my mind: if men say it's ugly, then it must be super cool.

They were talking about boobs and they stated that they had small boobs, yes, but at least they didn't have those big boobs with veins, and how they were disgusting. I was like 🙁 but I kept it to myself because well, my boobs were big and, being as pale as I was, they were also kinda veiny. Looking at it now I realize thay were just insecure about their appearance (as I was, by the way) and they tried to lift themselves up by tearing down someone else but still, at the time, I felt bad and very self-conscious.

yep! benevolent discrimination is a thing for other marginalized groups too. for example, stereotyping asians as hyperintelligent academics is benevolent racism. it places a lot of pressure to always succeed no matter what & to follow a career they may not like. same goes for "wholesome" articles about disabled people "succeeding against all odds," placing the responsibility of overcoming adversity on disabled people instead of holding society accountable for making more things accessible. disabled people who can't "beat the odds" get told "well so-and-so did it, why can't you?" one last example, a mix of benevolent sexism & racism: the all too common trope of the "spicy & exotic" latina woman in media, as it portrays latinas as nothing more than overly emotional sex objects.

I will say that men are more involved than they used to be, some men incredibly and dutifully involved. Not only that, but society is more accepting of that as well. And that sets a great example for the next generation.

Please Let Women Just Not Have Kids I'm Begging You. Also Normalize Women Not Having Uteruses. Makes Trans Women Feel More Accepted
I had 6 major gynae surgeries before I broke down and begged for a hysterectomy. I was 35 when it finally happened and we already know I was infertile due to chemotherapy and couldn't carry a child to term due to my illness and subsequent disability so IVF was not possible. Despite this on the day of my hysterectomy the doctor asked if I was really sure about having it done because it would make me "less of a woman" and asked if my partner was ok with that! I explained that it wasn't anything to do with my partner (we had talked through it at length, he just wanted me as well as possible). When he looked at my notes and saw that I had been bleeding vaginally constantly for six months he said he now understood why my partner was keen, as six months without sex was too much for any man! I reported him!!
And I wouldn't even be surprised if that OBGYN was a woman.. you'd expect women to be more compassionate, but in some cases the worst defenders of such opinions are indeed women.. I'll never get that
I was diagnosed with cancer when my daughter was 17 and I asked about just having a hysterectomy (I also have PCOS and Endometriosis) I was told the cancer cells had to come back 2 more times before that would be considered 'medically necessary'.
Guess it depends on what type of cancer. Cervical cancer caught early is pretty easily treated and followed up/screened for. There are high medical risks with a hysterectomy. The doctor has to weigh the risks and benefits. It's not some simple procedure- just take my uterus out. All kinds of things can go wrong with a hysterectomy. Uterine Cancer I'd look for another doctor.
Load More Replies...F**k off, dude. Honestly. He shouldn't even be making that decision in the first place.

Mom should also follow up with, “until now because I am pissed off beyond belief that someone is considerate enough to help you. You need to do it all alone so you can become a bitter, complaining, b***h to blame your children for everything when you’re old and wretched like me!”
When I was my daughter's age I was married with two kids, two teen steps, a mortgage, and a business - I am equal part joyous, proud, and envious of my daughter =D
Of course she complained, duh. She would have, like any person, complained non-verbally instead, for example show irritation, go silent, or some other form of protest. It’s a lie to say you haven’t complained when most human beings will in various forms.
We weren't allowed to change it complain etc growing up. We were taught for the most part by women who were still considered a man's property I was the same way and thought that's what has to be done and it's my responsibility
Kinda like my grandmother. She was married twice, and her second husband was abusive. Yet when she heard about women who got abused, she blame women.
My mother wouldn't help me with my children because no one helped her with hers.

Degrees > Boyfriends
Gone are the days when young women went to university to gain a MRS. degree.
That's why we have cats and dogs. They will keep you warm all day, not just at night.
Pretty sure the luxe mattress, 700 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets, down comforter and well-insulated housing, plus a dog or cat would keep any individual comfortable. If people want to focus on a degree and career, go for it!
And trust me as an older woman and retired teacher, for 26 years I actively urged all young women to get their degrees or training or certifications and be self-supporting. Those days are over. Be your own rich person. And you don't have to bootstrap! Help is out there! Grants, loans, work study, philanthropy. Work the system to your advantage.
Not sure what older women still say that but I haven\t heard that since 1966. Be who you are, love who you are and do what you want. Blankets are cheap.
hah I saw this thing where a woman who had a picture of her degree on a blanket.. just so it could keep her warm. 10/10

Load More Replies...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.
I know you're joking but it's the shift in hormones that causes the issue, not the hormone levels themselves. Progesterone drops rapidly before menstruation so that the uterine lining comes away. It's the same process after birth (massive progesterone drop) that partly causes the day 3 baby blues (feeling weepy for a few days after birth, not the same as post natal depression)
Load More Replies...Isn't it odd that having "balls" is used in a way that means a man is brave or tough or badass and in reality all you have to do is pretend to hit a man in the groin or watch a nut tap in a funny video and it evokes a real physical feeling of pain in said man who is in no such danger? It is literally the most sensitive part of the male anatomy just hanging out there waiting to get injured and they think it's the epitome of manliness.
Most men I meet are not really in contact with their feelings. Meaning that they bever were taught to analyze what's going on with them (are you uncomfortable or joyous? What exactly makes you feel this way?) and to actually say it. They are raised to ignore everything and be fine with everything. This concept doesn't sound like a healthy one to me. I prefer to work and communicate with people who are able to understand themselves and actually communicate it to others. So yes, the you are a girl and therefore hard to understand and predict concept is weird to me

My US state allows for any last name not just a family name. My child has a different last name from me and their Father.
My close friend changed her last name because she wants to know association with her parents anymore. She is Blessed. It's kind of a nice idea to change your name to a word that represents more of you. Perhaps more people will start doing this. Last names came about as a way of discerning this Sam from that Sam. Sam butcher or Sam the blacksmith. Lee that lives by the waters or Lee that lives by the rocks. Pretty simple but that's how it all started

Age Gaps
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
Yep. The DSM-V actually says that pedophilia is a disorder, but IT CAN BE TREATED. It even says that if the person knows their attraction is wrong and is trying to get help for it, they're not a child molester.

Load More Replies...Seriously, at 40 we get 25-ish yo trainees and I'm still shocked to see them drinking coffee and not hot chocolate.
No doubt I’ll get downvoted to hell but: I suspect this is often a genetics issue -ATTRACTION (not how you act on it) is not something you can control. Men, and women, are genetically coded to procreate - young post pubescent females are likely most fertile and most likely to have a surviving child. That being said - what you do with these “urges” is another matter.
Uh well the ‘attraction’ is a wild animal instinct but I think the real problem is ignoring that instinct because humans aren’t animals and we have a modern CIVILIZATION. Plus if humans are complete wild beasts we aren’t cute or fluffy enough.
Load More Replies...There are tests given to sexual offenders that measure attraction to different age groups beyond the individual’s self report. It’s actually expected that healthy adults will have attraction to adolescents, it’s called hebophilia, in addition to other adults. Incredibly gross and creepy if you ask me. Even college kids look like babies to me!!
It's because young girls often are still figuring out themselves and thus are more easily influenced into believing it's normal for a man three times your age to be attracted to you and wanting to make you his girlfriend who then gets to cook and clean for his adult-a*s because according to him that's how its supposed to be.
They are attracted to the power that they can have over those younger women.
They may not be aware of it, but what they are indeed attracted to is their fertility, and hence a higher chance of passing their genes to the next generation. Much of what we may call "love" is in fact mechanisms build by evolution to make sure that we procreate and take care of the next generation, so the genes lives on. And fact is that a woman's body is much more likely to succesfully produce a child when she is young than it is when she gets older, which is why attraction to younger women was a winning strategy in the game of evolution, and hence that desire passed on.

Anyway, we somehow got talking about music and he brought up how he likes Chris Brown, and I said oh you mean the piece of s**t who hits women. Oh, he says, well that’s bad obviously. I said, well how about how he talks and sings about women, how would you feel if someone talked/sung about your mom or sisters that way? His eyes got a little wide and I could see it dawn on him and he said, I never really thought about it like that. Unfortunately he learned too much from his dad, but I think through talking with him a lot I helped give him at least a bit of a different perspective, maybe. 🤷♂️
Load More Replies...Funny how you never hear women say, “Having a son taught me how to respect men.”
I cringe every time a guy starts a sentence with "now that I have a daughter". It tells me they have no empathy.
I will say this. the things I believed when I was younger and the things I believe now have changed quite a bit, but that is because life has taught me many things that school and my family did not. I grew up where somethings were just not talked about so I never learned of common problems women had until I got married. One of the biggest eye openers for me was learning how many things a woman had to think about just walking to her car after work. So now that I am older and know a little bit more than I did, I too worry more about how my little girl is going to be treated in the world as she grows up.

This absolutely infuriates me. Even with animals in cartoons. Male wolf, looks like a normal dog, female wolf, has light fur, eyelashes, is smaller and has softer features than an actual wolf! I saw this on giraffes the other day. Normal male giraffe, yet the female had an unrealistic light colour, eyelashes and softer features than I've ever seen a giraffe have. Like, even the female animals have unattainable standards!

Cost me over $11,000 for a c-section, after 30 hrs of labor. If I refused to be billed as much, both me and my son would’ve died.
I had a planned c-section because even trying for a vaginal birth was deemed too dangerous, spent 5 days in the hospital. My total bill? 36 euros of admin fees. I can't even wrap my mind around the US system.
Load More Replies...This is something I didn't know until some years ago and that I still shake my head about in utter disbelief. I gave birth twice in Europe. Once there were minor complications and my child had to spend the night under monitoring. In both cases, the biggest expense was were snacks from the cafeteria and parking fees. Money was never on my mind. Same thing if you get a C section. And I had 14 weeks off work, fully paid, BY LAW. I simply don't get why women in the US are putting up with this idiocy.
I had personal insurance through work, When I gave birth... I was charged full price for everything for Our Son. My bills covered 80% His, not covered at all. Took years to pay off. Would have been REALLY nice for HR to explain that I needed to add him BEFORE he was born.
Load More Replies...When you go to hospital give them a republican politician name for the records not yours. They can't refuse you if your in labor. Then let them get the bill. If it has to go this far. Hopefully we can get this decisions reversed.
This is a really stupid question as someone who has no interest in child birth and hasn’t known many people in my older years who have given birth recently, but like what if you jsut don’t pay it. Like I know you’ll go into debt but will they just reposess the baby if you can’t afford it?
I have had MULTIPLE medical bills and at times absolutely NO money. You can try and go through their billing department... and they will tell you how much you can afford to pay AFTER they go through ALL your bills and income. ( this is a religious hospital). Then when you can't pay due to say the pandemic... they send you to collections ( for $40), after that... possible lawsuits and wage garnishment. Good news as of 2021 (?) They can no longer trash your credit rating due to medical bills. My credit was totally trash ONLY because of medical bills ( no credit cards ever)
Load More Replies...Try sending the bill the to the United States government. It's certainly worth a try.

No one talks like that. It makes people sound uppity, insecure, snobbish, insufferable & obnoxious. The more you try to impress people by talking like this, the less impressed they actually are. You don't sound smart, you sound desperate
This Happens Every So Often
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.
YOU are not dirty. YOU have done nothing wrong. HE is the criminal here. Please, if you feel up to it, report him. Take witnesses with you!

When I was at secondary school (UK age 11 up to 18) it was common for boys to come up to us in the playground and 'honk' our boobs and run away. It was so common that we all just got used to it as a part of normal life. At least my granddaughters will have some say. It's better but still not perfect.
Happened to me at Planned Parenthood when I was asked why I was getting tested. I described a date where I was sexually assaulted. They sent a counselor to speak with me. I'm in my 50s so this happened more frequently than it should have in college. To me it was just more shitty behavior from men and I'm not going to be traumatized by it. So grateful we have the concept of consent now. We need men tobehave better though.
Came to the realization mentally stable neurotypical don’t get panic attacks when someone yells at them, and also haven’t been masking their whole lives and cannot go from panic attack to zero to save the feelings for later. But yeah no trauma here.
I had a realization just like this last week. My therapist has no idea what he's walking into during our next session. Buckle up, buddy.
Literal Virtue Signaling
Why would anyone assume that the original 'green man' is male anyway? Just because it's not wearing a skirt?
....and how do we know that that is not a man in a skirt? Yes it is not that common, but it does happen (especially in Scotland, though they call it something else over there).

it wasn't a man in the first place, it was a person. a dress doesn't make somebody a woman so saying that because the light has a dress on it's a woman is sexist.

(Piwniczak = cellar inhabitant) "Spoceniec" - fat guy with shower fears that smells worse than football team and doesn't see a problem in it, but he will try to flirt with girls at public places. (spoceniec from spocić się=sweat)
May I suggest assquatch for one of the terms? It's what I called one of our creepy biology teachers while I was in highschool.
I love how almost every comment on this post is immediately going to labeling the male equivalent as pedos, when that was not the intent of the post. A 40 year old male marrying an adult 20 year old of either gender is not a pedo. You may not like it but they are both of adult age. Not saying I agree with it, but if it is consensual between both parties 🤷♂️
That's not fair, and it is no better than saying all women are loud and obnoxious, or whatever generalisation you can make. If you want men to treat you with respect, please do the same to them.

Because forced birth isn't about life, it's about power over women. The fact that once born, mother and child can drop dead, should be a hint. It's not pro life, it's misogyny, anti-abortion.
Because the forced birth zealots don't care if their laws economically devastate women, just like they don't care if the children of forced birth starve in the gutter after they're born.
Foetuses can’t feel anything until they’re outside the womb. Meanwhile, what will ACTUALLY devastate a baby is living as a reminder of their mother’s abuser, or their birth being responsible of their mother’s death, or living homeless and starving because the parents can’t financially support themselves

The Very Reason They Are Single Is Because Of The Way They Think About Women; Not The Other Way Around
You don't want to be an 'incel'? OK, get out of your parent's basement, learn some social skills, be polite, don't think of yourself as God's gift to the world, understand that other people (including girls/women) have feelings, take the rejections with the acceptances, in other words GROW UP AND BE A GENTLEMAN.

Weaponizing Consent Discourse?
right? If you think your previous behaviour is not acceptable anymore nowadays then it never was
"So I left her, rather than asking for her consent because I don't know how to do that."
I'm an idiot that left a heavy weight on a woman because I don't understand when consent is necessary and when it's not. When someone's life is in danger, help them no matter what.
Simple And Effective

As the rebel I always have to be, I tried to think of something that only men like and that is in fact cool and well, I couldn't. Kudos to this man.
He's Right; We Don't Care
Yeah, women have realized that the 1950s ideal nuclear family is a trap and like agreeing to be some kind of indentured servant. Even today, even men who are into equality suddenly want a 50s housewife (except she works a regular job too) as a substitute mommy once they realize they can p**n off all the household chores. Like there's a reason why women who don't get married and don't have kids tend to be happier. (It's a study!)
This one. All the upvotes for this one. I am all the time fending off family that's like, want me to set you up, when are you gonna settle down, etc. Um... no, and probably never. Why? Because I don't want to?

Too bad. Everyone knows that the best place to be at a party is either in front of the bathroom or in the kitchen. On the dance floor there is way to many people, it is dark, so you cannot read faces, and there is way too much noise to talk. The kitchen is usually quieter and offering just a small sliver of privacy.

Do You Know How Much Work It Takes To Be A Queen??
I would, because I don't do hair and make up and I would love my kid to learn from a guy, so many stereotypes going down at once, it would be awesome.
*read in fabulous voice* So much work to be so fabulous
My eldest's most frequent babysitter was a drag queen friend who lived with us for a few months when facing homelessness, and remained an honourary part of our family thereafter. Referred to as Auntie, regardless of gender presentation at the time - even now, and my daughter is 26. IDK, maybe she'd have.grown up a little less dramatic without that influence? But probably not, she was just born that way - mostly straight and lots of drama. No regrets on that. Goodness knows I wasn't going to teach her how to do makeup! My youngest is 11 and still sometimes isn't sure who is a drag queen and who isn't - not because he is unfamiliar, but because we live in the village and he's used to seeing so many different people and different gender expressions, he just takes everyone as they are. He does regret that he never got to see me or his grandmother in full drag, though, back when we used to be kings. I gave that up before he was born (asthma and binding were not compatible).

Universal Childcare
The President's Commission on the Status of Women, created by JFK, ran from 1961 to 1963. Eleanor Roosevelt chaired it. Part of their mission statement was to make 'recommendations for services which will enable women to continue their role as wives and mothers while making a maximum contribution to the world around them.' A major reason for creating this was so that American women could help in the Space Race, as Russian women were seen as filling a far more equal role in society. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1D-1ICYrLqwky5375DnpCbroo_Li1VCWKLns0M7rd49M/edit

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
