Home Depot in Baltimore. I ask an employee where the shovels are located. He looks around and says, “Where’s your husband?” I told him that I had murdered my husband for making sexist comments and that’s why I needed the shovel. Also, could he help me load the heavy gauge plastic and bags of lyme into my Subaru.

Long story short I went to purchase my first off the lot brand new car. I was running off of like 8 hours of sleep in 3 days and had just come off my third double in a row, so patience was not a virtue I possessed at the moment. I went up to the sales man and said "I am here for a (year / model) car. Manuel transmission in ANY color. Any color at all EXCEPT silver. What does this idiot bring me too? An automatic silver (year / model). I snapped. I was like are you serious? He said (I s**t you not) well this car has a CVT it works like... I cut him off. It's a continual Variable transmission it's "stick" for pussies who don't know how to drive stick. I know wtf it is. I don't want it. Just because I have a pair of these *points to chest doesn't mean I don't know what I want. I was raised by a mechanic. I bet I know more about the cars on the lot than you do. So give me what I want. He was like "ummm we don't have any manual transmissions" I told him well you could've opened with that and it doesn't negate the fact you still brought me to a silver one when I asked for any other color. WHY??? if there's a car salesman reading this, quit trying to pull one over on a female. Most of us know exactly what we want. We have done our research and we pay attention. Females like me, love to get their hands dirty and can wrench on our own vehicles. Just stop.

When I (respectfully)corrected a former bosses math in front of a room full of other high ranking males in the company, he turned to face me in his chair, did a double hand point to his crotch and told me to “stop talking and sit on this” everyone else started laughing and when they could see I was hurt and embarrassed I was told to get used to it or get out...

I was fixing our lawn mower in the driveway (bad starter and questionable coil). Our elderly neighbor came over and told me I needed to "leave that for my husband before I screw it up." and "That's a man's job, you best leave it alone."
For the record, I'm a mechanic, my husband is very much not.

I volunteered as a tutor at a high risk (graduation rate less than 50%) high school twice a week after their classes let out. I had a teacher come in after classes one day and tell me to stick to science and math because men can't understand sensitive subjects like language arts and home econ. I asked her if the kids I was helping were doing better. She said yes but they must be getting help somewhere else.

This happened a few months ago, in fact in December 2020. It was my sister's wedding, so many women from my village came to our house, and while I am helping putting the jugs for dinner, I heard one of them asking my aunt (my late father's sister) my am I not helping with cooking. I didn't thought of it that much, until I heard these beautiful words:

"What!? She doesn't know how to cook!? What would she do aur SHE is married!?"

It triggered ms more than expected because:


1. I AM 13.

2. I HAD TOLD EVERYONE I KNOW A MILLION TIMES THAT I DON'T WANT ANYONE TALKING ABOUT MY MARRIAGE UNTIL/UNLESS I APPROVE.

3. SHE LOOKED AT ME AS IF I WAS CRAZY WHEN I TOLD HER THAT I WAS THE TOPPER OF MY CLASS AND WON A PRIZE IN DEBATE, POETRY AND DANCING AND ASKED ME, "WHY ARE YOU STUDYING? YOU SHOULD BE IN THE KITCHEN!" AND DIDN'T BELIEVE WHEN I SHOWED HER MY MEDALS(SHE THOUGHT IT WAS OF MY BROTHER'S.)


Fortunately, my mum doesn't want want to be connected to those women either and said that I can break the connection when I become an adult.

During my OR rotation in nursing school, one of the OR (female) nurses said, "Men can have difficulty with a nursing career. They often find it hard to support a family." It was sexist about a "man in a woman's career", and man as the sole wage-earner for the family.
I replied, "Well, I may eventually go into administration, teaching, or research [approving nods], or I might find myself a nice doctor and marry HER."
Even under her mask, I could see her jaw drop.

One of the places I applied to work a long time ago searched for a barista (the place was looking for one). I came in with my CV, handed it to one of the employees and I could hear the employee in the back giving my CV to his boss, and the boss going like "Make sure she's pretty." I'm convinced jobs such as these shouldn't have anything to do with your looks but oh well.

Was raised by a feminist hippie Mom who taught me that there was no such thing as a woman's job in the house and vice versa. My wife and I bicker lovingly abt those annoying chores. It's more sarcastic but when she tells me it's my job to bring in the money then I fire back with well she better go into the kitchen and make me dinner.

I have never understood why certain jobs or chores are assigned to us by our genders. My wife works a job that pays low but it tens times harder than mine. I have no problem doing those chores that I know she hates.

Kindergarten teacher would always let the girls get their outerwear first at the end of the day, and then let them go home while we had to wait. One day, despite being so young, my friend and I decided to get our coats with the girls in protest of the unfairness. The teacher went mad, and from that day onward would only address me as 'Michelle', and my friend as 'Lucy'. When my wife wanted to name our daughter 'Michelle', I said no way.

When I was in high school, our school district had a deal with the local ski resort to offer discount ski lift tickets and lessons to students. Surprisingly, my father signed me up. We'd load onto a school bus, head up to ski for 5 hours and then come back down as the sun was disappearing.

As we came down one evening, there was a flat bed semi that pulled up along side us on the freeway. The truck bed was loaded with smashed cars, flattened by a wrecking yard.

This guy, Evan, yells over to his friend "Hey look!" Points to wrecked cars. "The result of women driver's, every one of them!" Not a smart thing for him to say since every seat around him was filled with girls. Four hands came out of nowhere and smacked him.

Tw: mention of sexual assault (worse)Oh I have so many (afab) but I’m just going to do one for now. I was discussing abortion with my friend and this guy (baptist pastors son) was like “oh abortion should be illegal”. I asked him why and he said “kids need to earn the consequences of their actions.” I then asked him if babies were alive before they were born and he said no. I was super confused and said “ well what if the girl was raped” and he said “she just has to deal with it.”

I dropped a friend of mine and her 15 year old daughter off at a Hispanic grocery store while I ran a few errands. After 15 minutes, she called me to come pick them up quick. Turned out that three men, about 40-ish in age, were following her daughter around the store begging her for her phone number and/or a date. She was scared that something was going to happen to her daughter. I had them point out the men, got them in the car and then made a scene as I yelled at the manager about allowing pedophiles in their store. I also confronted the men in question and told them if they ever came near her again, I'd not only tell their wives what they've been up to, I'd have the police all over for harassment and stalking a minor. The three men left after the manager told them they were no longer welcome in the store. He apologized profusely and escorted my friend and her daughter around the store so they could do their shopping in peace.

I'm a female locksmith; have been for a long time. Arrived on-site to a vehicle lockout. Simple job, straightforward. Keys were locked inside the rental UHaul. I am in uniform, unloading all my gear. As I approach the man and his vehicle, he asks where my guy is. I stopped, confused. I am the one who had answered the phone, took his info, and told him that based on his location, I would be there in 10 minutes, since he was right around the corner from the shop. He was not having it that I could do the job and kept insisting that he would wait for a man to come. So I started loading my gear up and said I would send my guy when he came on shift at 4 p.m. (currently 8 a.m.). The man's adult son started pleading with me to do the job and for his dad to be quiet. I said only if dad was okay with that, and payment was upfront. Finally, the dad agreed. That whole exchange took maybe 15 minutes. I unlocked the UHaul and then loaded up and was back in my own truck in 60 seconds flat. Their faces were PRICELESS! Why do people like him like to waste time with their assumptions or ignorant opinions?

One ex-bf (who claimed himself a feminist) used to get mad if I changed light bulbs or fixed stuff in my apartment. He said me doing that made him feel "less of a man" as those were male tasks (?). Also, I have always had amazing spatial sense. He didn't. He would get lost in the kitchen. But if he was taking me to a place and he was a bit lost, he said I shouldn't say anything because that would make him feel "less of a man". Younger naive me let all that pass, and we ended up breaking up because he said he felt "less" because I had my life sorted (job, apartment, car) and he didn't (I didn't mind to be honest). Interesting... do really men feel "less of a man" if a woman can manage well by herself or is better in certain things? Do men feel the same if they compared themselves with other men as well?

I'm pretty sure I have more power tools than both my brothers combined. As a kid I loved helping my Dad fix things around the house or out in the yard.

Every adult I know always tells me that I'll be such a great mom and that my kids will be so nice. I have already told them that I have no interest in children, but since i was AFAB they for some reason expect me to have children. I so badly wish I could look my parents in the eyes and say "The bloodline ends with me" but I have siblings who want kids so I CANT.
And whenever we get gifts (For like birthdays and stuff) my brothers and cousins get cool things like RC cars and drones and video games, while I get a bath and lotion set, a makeup kit, clothes, you get the idea. Like, I don't want all this crap. I want an RC car. I want a drone. I enjoy video games too.

When I was in the Navy, I was 19 and married at the time. My Division Chief (Chief Petty Officer, essentially my boss's boss) had heard some rather races rumors about me. We happened to be walking to my shop at the same time.

He looked over at me and said "so, I heard you've slept with half the men on the base... when do you plan to get to my half? *disgusting chuckle*". He was very pleased with himself for being "humorous" or something.

I looked over at him, aghast! I replied "I'm married and have a child, so never. I'd appreciate it if you could not help spread malicious rumors about me, any further. It's bad enough that you accost ME in this fashion, but to insult me in the same breath is just appalling, coming from a senior enlisted person!"

He turned red, whipped around and went back to the main building in the opposite direction we were headed. Apparently he was only going the same direction as me because he felt the need to unload that gem upon me, undetected or without witnesses or whatever.

He later filed a complaint of insubordination against me.

I was wearing black and a woman came up to me and said "Sweetheart, pink is what girls wear." The worst thing was that I felt masculine, so that just made it worse.
I replied with "I'm a boy." and she said, "So you're either a t***** or a f**."

I'm not trying to be insensitive, I just want to be sure I understood your experience. I get what the f- word is but I don't understand what the t- word is... the derogatory term for transexual? Either one is a despicable way to address anyone in any instance. No matter WHAT was said, I am terribly sorry that piece of trash treated you so horrifically!

I’m a doctor. I rented an apartment that had bed bugs in it ( I had just finished medical school and was a Resident). I then complained to the building. They sent two male professionals to check. These two men then proceed to mansplain to me that not even a doctor could tell me that the bites I had all over my body were because of bed bugs. And I told them “as a doctor, you are correct, I could not tell you with 100% certainty that I was bitten by bed bugs. However, these are bed bugs”. Their faces were priceless. They then shut their mouths and go check. My apartment was full of bed bugs.

I was in my university chamber choir, and my section mate had narcolepsy. She and I had discussed it, and she knew I’d worked as a camp counselor with kids and young adults with disabilities. I was first-aid certified and specialized in helping move those who couldn’t move themselves for whatever reason. She asked if I could always sit next to her during rehearsal.

With her type of narcolepsy, she could have conversations and answer questions. One day she fell asleep during rehearsal, and the director asked her what she wanted to do. She asked us to help her move to the floor. I offered my assistance, and he said, “No, we need strong young men to do this right. Why don’t you step aside?”

I don't normally stop for people who are on the side of the road with their cars broken down due to this experience. I was helping a woman who had three small children in her car, broken down on the side of the road. A guy in a big 4x4 pickup pulled up and sauntered to the front of the car where I was explaining to the woman what I had found. The man literally pushed me out of the way and said "I'll take care of this little lady" and I guess the woman felt relieved that there was a MAN there to save her because she turned her back on me and hung on every word coming out of his mouth. I got on my motorcycle and drove off swearing never again.

My sports teacher in elementary school (who was female) wouldn't let us play football or basketball and would only let us play throw ball because we were girls. They also only had boys teams for sports up until middle school and even then, the girls' teams didn't get as much recognition from the school. When the girls complained about it, our headmistress (who was also female) reprimanded us for 'disrespecting' our elders. Only when our parents threatened to pull us out of that school did the teachers let us play, and even then, they refused to let us mix with the boys in games despite our school being co-ed. When I reached middle school, one my older friends told me that a similar incident had taken place with the middle school teacher (and she was also, you guessed it, female). Wtf?

They'll often cite safety as a reason for not allowing co-ed gym classes, but that explanation doesn't entirely make sense - if it's really about safety, would make much more sense to split gym classes by size or athletic ability.

I play hockey as a goalie for a women’s league. Occasionally I will play for other teams or beer leagues as I have time or energy. Got a request one night to play for a beer league team as they didn’t have a goalie fairly last minute. I show up to get dressed a few of the guys are surprised that I am a woman, and question how long I’ve played and if I was actually any good. As the dressing room fills up guys start chirping about how they have “a buddy who could play goal” and a few joking that aw man we gonna have a shitty game cause we got the girl goalie. At this point I was 3/4 dressed in my gear. I stopped and started to take off my gear. The guys in the room stopped talking and were like “Wait what are you doing?we need a goalie!” At which point I slung my pads over my shoulder picked up my bag and casually said as I walked out “Call your buddy you got like 5 minutes before the ice is ready”
I never looked back.

I reeeeeeally hate how there are “girl toys” and “boy toys”. Amy’s thing with clothes. Like, I just bought a pair of shorts from the “boys section” and they had five pockets and all five would fully fit my phone. The “girl shorts” I’m wearing right now have two pockets that fit half my phone. It’s so annoying

I remember that I once had a teacher in my freshman year of high school who I already hated for a multitude of reasons (including repeatedly complimenting me on every single thing, seemingly forcing me to talk to her, and all around treating me like a small child). My hatred for her only cemented in when someone in the class swore while I was around, and she said something about how you "shouldn't swear around ladies". (for context as to why I have a masculine name despite this, I'm transgender (FTM) and have only come out online) When I gave her this "wtf?" look, she thought I was on her side, too.

Another one worth mentioning: Though few of his comments were ever directed at anyone specifically, I also knew someone in 8th grade who said a lot of sexist statements. I still vividly remember him saying something about how the only purpose of "females" was to make you want to kill them.

Buckle up, this is going to be long. Okay, so I'm not so sure if this fits in with sexist, it is more of a menstruation myth. So, this person we will call S was on her period. She wanted to set up before the prayers but was taught that periods were impure and she must not touch anything distinctly god- related. Now, for the most part, S didn't believe or enforce any of these myths ever since she was little, but when it came to god... you get it. She asked me to do it for her. I had a feeling that this was something to do with period myths, but I wanted to be sure, so I asked her why. She sounded ashamed and answered in a low voice that women on their period are considered impure. It went something like this:-
Me: You don't seriously believe that, do you?
S: *silence*
Me: There is literally no evidence of that. It doesn't even make sense! I didn't think you believed such nonsense!
(A little harsh, but still)
S: I don't. I'm just used to going about it that way.
I don't really remember much of it. I do remember aggressively citing sources(see below) and literally shaking with rage. In the end, she very happily carried on with the setting up thing(she loves doing it, good for her).

You say you were a bit harsh but you helped her address a belief in her own head that was hurting her and in the end it seemed to have done her a lot of good. So I'd say you hit the absolute right tone!

On a subway to get to work. Dude(TOTAL STRANGER) walks up slaps my ass, calls me sweetcheeks, and tries to hit on me. I mean, that was pretty awful and crap but here's the REAL kicker: I explain that I'm a lesbian. He legit asks: "Who fixes your car?" When I say that really bad issues I take it to the mechanic and if it's minor I fix it myself. HE IS CONFUSED!! CONFUSED that I can fix a car. Calls me weird, and gets off at his stop.

When I was in fifth grade (afab) my teacher asked for volunteers to go to the cafeteria after an assembly to help put the chairs away and I raised my hand, in front of the whole class she goes something like "No no, im sorry but I need 2 strong boys to send" and me not understanding sexism all the way just went "But Im just as strong as they are" and she literally said "I'm sure you are" in a sarcastic tone. Keep in mind this is a female teacher, what the heck.

Not me, but a friend in college. We had a weekend project, and she asked if she could stay with me Friday night, she'd buy dinner, but she lived far enough away it was better to stay in town. I said sure that sounded fine. The day comes and we go to my house, but before we leave for dinner she says there is something I have to tell you. Ok.
What she tells me is that when she eats, she sometimes passes out. It can be her just going blank for a few seconds to literally falling on the floor. But I wasn't to worry, because she'd be fine. We were eating Italian and spicy food was the worst, but she also wanted to go to that restaurant.
Sorry this is long, but now just a bit of back story. I'd known her from other classes for maybe a year. And she was an Airhead. Ditzy. Spaced out. It turns out that her problem started at 10 or 12 yrs old. She would tell her doctors the same thing " it happens when I eat". But they Did Not Listen.
They put her on phenobarbital. She was about 26 at this point. Airhead? No, not at all. But she had been on phenobarbital since she was 12. Only recently had she found a doctor willing to listen. So he hooked her up to the machines and fed her. When she burped it caused her heart to Stop.
She was at the time being weaned off the phenobarbital. And at dinner she only fazed out for a few seconds. Our project went fine.

So I’ve already done one but I got so much positive feedback so I’m going to do a few more in one post. I will try to separate it as to help those who get overwhelmed by large texts like me ^^

1) we were reading Romeo and Juliet. It was the part where Mercutio is talking about Quean Mab (roughly translates to wh*re pr*st*tute) and the kid aforementioned in my other post and his group who was in the room with us kept repeating and making fun of it
I gave them the death stare as I am a DECENT HUMAN BEING. They are like “what” and I say why are you repeating it. 3 of them were stuttering, probably to come up with a decent excuse and the boy I mentioned before went “because it’s funny”

2) Same guy. Did you think I was done with him?? Hahahhahahahahahahha. Ha. Ha. Ha. My friend who is always mediator, always neutral, and I were talking about his most recent b*tchy thing and I was saying “he’s never had a girlfriend” and she was like “yeah because he’s sexist”

3)Boys in our class looking through our yearbook and making fun of our pictures. Aforementioned friend REALLY p*ssed and talked about how none of them have ever had girlfriends or talked to girls. Ever. At all. This year.

4)not a story but there is one guy (different guy than the main one)who will only listen to other guys if he’s being told to do something, even if the female is a teacher

I have SO many more but I’m tired and will be going to bed

I used to work for a company with a headquarters in a city and country where women are supposed to be quiet, demure, and subservient outside the home. I'm American. That's (generally) not how it's done here anymore. So when they started demanding things from my team/office that we could not provide, I was firm in telling them we could not meet those demands and suggested a middle ground instead.

I thought it went great. Apparently not.

My local boss pulls me into his office and tells me that the higher ups (at headquarters) were furious because I was "too aggressive for a woman". That's a direct quote.

The company was super shady, looking back. But that stuck with me. I left corporate work not long after that.
