Everyday Sexism

Trending on twitter (I have no idea what this means, just hope it makes me look current) are examples of the many ways in which men are sexist towards women. Depressing that so many of these go on to this day.

I have no idea what it means either.

I think us fellow potential rapists need to stick together.

One of the places I work in has 1 man (me) and 35 women working in it, so I can categorically state that sexism happens both ways... *shrug*

Pimp?

That page is pure BS. There's a lot of examples there that aren't sexist at all, just bad taste at the moment. To he honest I'd go as far as to say that they're part of the problem to some extent.

I wish!

Though I was once asked to do the books for a local Brothel, shame it never happened, there could have been perks of the job

Driving between cities, I noticed a truck next to me driving aggressively and bizarrely. I tried to slow down to let him pass, I sped up, I changed lanes. The driver followed me to stay in line with my driver's seat no matter what I did. I finally looked over to see what the hell was going on. The driver, probably in his late 20s early 30s, was having a **** and staring at me with his mouth open. He lifted himself up to expose himself to me. I slammed on the breaks and wrote down his license plate. He quickly exited and I called the police. Never got a call back even with the description of: the truck, the attached horse trailer, the man, the license plate and the exit he took into a very small town. Gee, how DID he slip away? ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC.

Why is it always female characters people love to hate: Andrea - Walking Dead, Debra, La Guerta - Dexter, Kikyo - Inuyasha

Was hanging put with a friend a few days ago and he told me he liked me and wanted to move things to the next level. I asked him what do you like about me? He said 'well doh your looks' I asked him what else, he couldn't even compliment my personality!

Do really want more?

5 minutes of reading through that has angered me.

I hate feminists.

Very few of the situations are even sexist, and if you look at the pages of some of the people who are attributing sexism to a situation just because they were offended, you can see some of them posting tweets that contradict the things they were complaining about.

One girl:

"Looking good" how to complement a woman without being a pervd


She then goes on about how she wants to fly somewhere where she can be surrounded by "posh sexy men"

And then how she's drooling over some guy.

The hypocrisy is just awful.

Ha, i dont think that really happened.

Indeed. I'm outnumbered at work by women about 10:1 and it certainly does. But I don't see it as an issue because I'm not insecure or paranoid about my sex or the gender roles.

The truck story made me laugh, feminists, simply put! The story's are just another attempt of gaining some attention.

Odd, I thought most of them we're tbh
Certainly lots of hate for comments about their bodies or appearance.


Deleted incorrect fact

The Everyday Sexism Project exists to catalogue instances of sexism experienced by women on a day to day basis.

The irony.

That page is reason why I hate most feminists, they only see sexism as a one way street.

 

[bitslice]

Ah, halfway down they said they accept submissions from men too, conflict of ideology perhaps.

Ironic that the automatic assumption is that this is just for women, when it is for both sexes

Look at the images and look at all the posts.

People posting there don't seem to be able to distinguish between sexism and someone just being offensive to a woman, or even a woman hearing something she doesn't like.

The page just makes a mockery of real sexism issues.

It's like a lot of apparent racism as well, where it becomes anything critical said about or to someone who isn't white is classified as racism.

I'm not sure what you think is ironic either.

Oh dear...
