Even the Western world, which is the beacon of human rights, continues to have problems with sexism. For example, according to some surveys, European women are 3.6 times more likely to suffer from unwanted sexual attention than men. Interested in how this looks in everyday life, TikTok user @tanyapidgor asked all the ladies on the platform to share the most unhinged comments they received in public from random guys, and of the tens of thousands of replies that she got, many were so awkward and offensive that they felt like poor skits, not real-life encounters—though, surprisingly, a few were oddly sweet or unintentionally wholesome.

When I was a cashier, a customer told me I was selfish for having such long hair and that I should cut it to donate to those in need. He wouldn’t leave me alone about it so I told him I’d donate mine if he donated his. He was bald 🤷🏻♀️

This happened to me once, sort of. I used to work for a man named JWB. My last year of college there was a girl in one of my classes who looked just like him. I asked her, I don't suppose you're related to a guy named JWB? She said he was her father. He was a great guy, and she and I ended up becoming friends. She was married and had a different last name, he had grey hair and she was a redhead. I don't even know what it was about her that made me think of him, but d**n if I wasn't right

This happened to me at my grandma’s funeral. Our family is fairly distant so a lot of relatives had either never met me or hadn’t seen me since I was a baby. But almost everyone took one look at me and said “oh you’re obviously (my mom’s name)’s daughter aren’t you” 😆

When my sister and I were teens, in the huge city we're from, someone walked up to us and asked my sister, "Are you S____ J____'s daughter?." She sure is. The person went to high school with our mom and never even knew she procreated. I have almost no facial recognition (diagnosed condition), and this is like a Vegas-level magic trick to me.
The exact numbers can vary from study to study depending on their definitions, but one survey suggests that roughly 4 in 5 women (81 percent) have experienced some form of sexual harassment.
That includes verbal forms (77%) of sexual harassment, like being catcalled or whistled at, or receiving unwanted comments of a sexual nature.

Graham_Illegal 7 months ago
Very true. A lot of men grow up with deeply flawed ideas about how to approach women, simply because no one has dared to take the time to educate them about romantic relationships. That’s why we should adopt the proven practice of starting s*x education before puberty. By the time kids reach adolescence, they shouldn't be met only with taboos, shame, and secrecy. Obviously, I’m not suggesting we discuss topics like penetration with preschoolers. But there are many effective and age-appropriate ways to teach young children about consent, bodily autonomy, and intimacy, long before they develop the harmful habits instilled by our prudish society.

Wow. What’s with the downvotes? I get it that some comments are not to everyone’s liking or even seem offensive, but I don’t think downvoting the heck out of people (unless comments are genuinely intended to be offensive/ racist/ bigot, etc.) is the answer. Maybe it is just some misunderstood irony or sarcasm. Reply and clarify why you disagree with a comment is what I prefer doing, starting a healthy debate, pointing to content that one finds inappropriate, rather just downvoting.

Wow, ok the comments and downvotes.. i don't know if a stranger of either gender chased me for a mile, i'd be at the very least a little conserned. There is no way of knowing this person wasnt wanting to do harm. They are a stranger, 5280 feet of following someone, for any reason would seem creepy to any smart women. There is Nothing a stranger has to tell me or rturn (if i dropped like wallet) that deems i stick around and potentially risk harm. Just nope. Thats how bad shyte happens. If i did stop and let it.. i'd then be blamed for stoping, or whatever i was wearing.. let alone if SA occured and i was now forced to carry a child in this day and age.. this is why women say bear.

When I was in my 20's, I worked at a convenience store. I used to have to walk home from work - at 11:00 or later at night. In a fairly well to do neighborhood, albeit close to the beach. It was at least a weekly occurrence to have someone follow me or catcall me. Even regular customers - people I dealt with for years sometimes were totally different outside the store. One guy stopped me to talk to me and a few months later, came in and dumped pictures of me he had taken of me using a camera secreted in his belt buckle during the conversion. Another one stumbled out of his home to stop me to hit on me when he was extremely drunk. One I didnt know stumbled out of a hedge to show me his pride and joy. Lastly, my boss's boss's boss said something to me about seeing me walk home several times a week...and not in a concerned for my safety.

I also have such a nose. I was never so lucky as to have such a comment - only once did I have a classmate say something ugly about it.
However, if you know how to give a compliment, the fact that you don't know someone doesn't have to stop you from doing so. It's even in your best interest.
Raj Raghunathan, PhD, author of If You’re So Smart, Why Aren’t You Happy?, believes that one of the reasons complimenting others makes you feel better is that it helps you perceive yourself as a generous, bighearted person, which, in turn, increases your self-esteem.
It's easy to forget how good a little praise can make another person feel, but many of us have moments where we notice and appreciate something about others. Let's try to tell them, only nicely.

Did not sit well with one of our group, who turned around and yelled, "I'm NOT a lady!!!" It was my friend Alex, a not very tall, but very, VERY slender young gentleman with hip-length, wavy red hair and black eyeliner. Sorry to the old guy, he did mean well and was unknowingly playing on hard mode.

Alex's hair sounds glorious (my husband described my boss's hair that way - and to be fair, it was, indeed, glorious - and I was so jealous)

When I was 9 I was walking with my dad to the video store, holding hands, and a guy asked my dad “is that your girlfriend?”
Tabitha 7 months ago (edited)
When I was about 13 and out Christmas shopping with one of my older brothers—-and I mean older, he was around 26 and an Army vet when I was 13—a store cashier (old lady) told me my boyfriend was really nice. With a facial expression of extreme ICK, I told her he’s not my boyfriend, he’s my older brother. Gross. I’m still a child, he’s twice my age, we also strongly resemble each other, and all she could think of is that he’s my boyfriend? Granted, it was like 1973, but still. Major ICK. I mean, I adore my big brothers, but to this day I can’t understand how those gross boys ever managed to find nice girls to marry them. FFS, they used to do stuff like burp the alphabet and play their armpits. I personally witnessed, more than one, three of them ganging up on the fourth, pinning him down, then sitting on him to fart loud and long and stinky. Yet they managed to be attractive to the women they married, much to my utter disbelief.

I had someone slightly younger hold the door for me once and say "Age before beauty" so I responded "Pearls before swine" as I walked through. I know that's not the right context for the pearls before swine reference, which I think might be from the bible, but it was the first thing that popped into my head. It took a minute for them to register the insult.

The last English (Saxon) king of England, Harold Godwinson, had a consort named Edith Swanneck. She was his true love. And was with him to the end. The way she was described in a book I've read, so beautiful, graceful, elegant, so loyal, faithful - with a lovely neck...she sounded so amazing. She was "hand-fasted" to Harold, but was pragmatic enough to understand when he put her aside to marry a princess to ensure his dynasty. Unlike Henry VIIi later, he stayed with Edith and loved her until he died.

If no follow up creepiness, take it as a compliment. I find, as I get older, that I express compliments (sincere, no ulterior motive behind them) much more freely than I did when I was young. It could be because I no longer care what other people think, or that I want to share joy and love before I leave this earth, or that I want to leave a legacy of kindness.
