We've all dealt with sexist people.

I know a whole lot, but I’ll stick to a few...

"Every time I hug women it's only so I can feel their b00bs" - some random guy at a festival I overheard who was going around giving a lot of 'friendly hugs' out.

"If women are so smart, then why can nobody name a single female philosopher unless you search for them on Wikipedia?" - some guy in the YouTube comments section. Me: "Maybe it's because throughout human history, women becoming philosophers was rarely encouraged within mainstream society? Also, becoming a philosopher is only one pursuit of intellect, the first computer programmer was a woman named Ada Lovelace."

Me: "Scientifically, all humans start off female in the womb." My dad: "Luckily I was born the better gender then." Me: "What? But mom told you kept wanting to have a baby girl instead of a boy." Dad: "Yeah, because girls are more family orientated. So you will be able to look after me when I'm older." Me: "..."

Some random guy during a VR shooter game: "You're only good at playing the game, because your boyfriend must of boosted your elo." Me: "umm, this game doesn't even have an elo or ranking system btw."

Me playing a video game: "I'm only able to buy (a weapon) next round, I'm poor right now." Random player: "ha! just like all women, because all women are poor." Me: "Do you even know who Kim Kardashian is?"

(Yeah, let's just say if these guys ever participated in a legal Ayahuasca ceremony, they'd be really embarrassed with the spirit of Mother Gaia showing them their place.) 😂

My grandfather to my aunt, who had just given birth:

"So glad that you gave birth to a boy! He'll be my handsome, smart boy! Girls are useless"

I was next to them in the same room, staring blankly (and "useless").
Damn, it did hurt.

If I was the Aunt, I'd straight up tell him that he wouldn't be allowed to see MY baby boy 🤦 that I had given birth to with MY 'so-called useless' body & psyche. The grandpa's toxic mindset is useless to my baby's healthy mental development. My dad was the opposite though, he really wanted to have a daughter because 'girls are more family orientated' so I'd “look after him when he'd become older.” So to him 'girls were more useful', but only since it would benefit him 😒 This is why I'm happily single for life and emotionally independent now, freedom has never felt so blissful 😆 I can do whatever I want any time now, and any non-serious lovers fulfill my needs.

Not so much now that I'm an adult, but as a male raised by a single mom, I was never into cars, GI-Joe or fixing things.

I was into the theatre, literature and art.

People always assumed I didn't have a girlfriend because I was gay. I didn't have a girlfriend because I had zero game.

One of the funniest was a guy telling me that girls only go for "looks, fame, or money."

I reallllyyy wanted to snap back that maybe guys are shallow enough to think that, but all the girls I know are more into personality and kind hearts, but I didn't because my sister piped up and said, "Or a sense of humor."🤷‍♀️

I worked nights at a grocery store while I was in college. I had started in video and ended up helping the office checkers with closing procedures because they were swamped. The front end manager who worked evenings had the office checkers train me and once they were satisfied I knew what I was doing, the front end manger put me in for promotion to office checker. When the male store manager (who only worked days) found out he wasn't happy. I was working in the office and he came in and said, "I don't care if had you trained and you are already doing the job, you aren't eye candy so you will never be an office checker in my store." Thankfully, the idiot said it in front of two of the office checkers I worked with. I filed a grievance with the union and got backpay for the office checker work and training I had done, then immediately quit. The store manager got demoted and moved to a store in the middle of nowhere. The front end manager became the store manager and one of the other checkers who also hadn't been eye candy got promoted to office checker.

Women, well working mothers to be specific, do take more time off since their careers aren't taken as seriously as a man's so she is the one expected to leave work in case of illness or emergency. It's a tough world for us.

In a factory where I was working: "Women are not allowed to enter the warehouse because they bring bad luck".
My auntie to my dad, in my presence: " Why do you let her go to college, it's a waste, she will get married and have babies".
And said to another woman but too hilarious to omit: "you have to obey me, I have a penis". He actually said it and meant it!!!

Worst one I ever heard was self-inflicted. Newbie female aircraft mechanic (USAF) after coming in from a job looks at her hands and complains that since she began working on airplanes her hands didn't look feminine anymore. Five or six female mechanics were in the room at the time including two who had just finished installing a jet engine. After one girl looked at her own grease covered hands and mimicked her, she left the room in tears. Needless to say, she wasn't very popular within our unit, especially with other women.

Not directed at me, but at all women. We were doing a volleyball unit in P.E. Most of the boys complained, and when we switched to basketball, some dude had the nerve to say, "Finally, a man's sport."

What was not? We receive snide comments every single day tbh.

I once had a male colleague in medical school tell me girls don't play video-games, then proceeded to try to sleep with me all evening. (video-games are one of my hobbies

My mum when I complained about that? I quote: "You're a woman, you're not supposed to like boy-ish activities. That's why no one likes you."

But the worst? My neurology professor (also a woman) told me when i was considering my option of becoming an interventional neuradiologist - that I am a woman and will want kids someday so that is not a good option for me.

One of my dad’s friends. Whenever he sees me he makes comments about how I should make dinner for my family, is she old enough to cook, who made breakfast this morning, do you cook for your dad, blah blah blah. Never talks directly to me either, just over my head to my dad. Never makes comments like that to my brother. My dad is also super oblivious and just chuckles along. My dad also rolled his eyes when I said there were no such thing as boy colors and girl colors. When he was buying a new house, me and my brother were deciding which room we wanted. He tried to tell me I should take a specific one because the walls were pink. He also always got me Barbies when I asked for toy cars and wouldn’t let my brother try on nail polish when he was only like 5 and wanted to see what it was like. He also should know perfectly well I don’t like pink (no offense to those of you that do) but he makes no effort to remember anything about me or my brother (favorite colors, foods, tv shows, conversation topics) despite seeing us every day. Sorry this turned into a rant, I’m very annoyed.

What makes me saddest about this is how you apologize so much for liking what you like. It's a habit I fell into doing a lot of, too, though for different but similar reasons: I am a woman, therefore if I Upset people with doing things that aren't to other people's preferences, it is my fault and I need to make concessions. Try your best to live joyfully and fearlessly and unlearn all that c**p, and know that you wouldn't make someone else be inauthentic.

Sadly this happens a lot in teaching positions for kids with special needs. Schools and their leadership (principals, VPs) who aren't trained to support these kids assume anyone can do the job because "it's not like the kids know the difference anyway". This was actually said to us when I complained about our son's school hiring a gym teacher for his special needs class.

When I was in sixth grade, these two seventh-grade girls walked up to me and started talking to me. They asked personal questions and said I was hot and that my name was "Sexy". Now, these kinds of jokes tend to go over my head, but at the time, I was obese and altogether a weird person, so I knew there was a trick ahead. I got up and left, and they asked to touch my d**k. When my aunt reported this, and I identified them, they went unpunished, and lied there way out of this. There was security camera footage clearly showing them talking to me, and I personally identified them. They had told the counselor that all they said was that I was hot (which I still would have gotten in BIG trouble for if I did it to them). I knew that if this were the other way around, I would have had barely a chance to defend myself and would have been punished instantly.

A (11) year old kid at my church when he saw my sister's Captain Marvel shirt:

"Captain Marvel sucks. The guy heroes are better."

The same kid at our house playing apples to apples (he's my little brother's friend), the word was like 'amazing' or 'cool' or something. One card was 'women' and when he saw it he didn't even read any of the other cards he immediately put it in the discard pile. I put it back.

A bloke in a pub who's just finished an Andy McNab novel (he had it with him and couldn't stop talking about it), told me that women can't write books. And NAME 10 female novelists!
I said - Margaret Atwood, Jane Austin, Ruth Rendell, Toni Morrison - and before I could get any further he said ' yeah s**t stuff for women. Not real writing'. And then he picks up his pint glass and pours his beer down his neck so that I had the most appallingly magnified view of the inside of his mouth via the bottom of the glass. Puts his glass down and turns his back on me.

Worst of it was that he made me feel those great women were actually diminished by men like him, because in many respects they were. And I couldn't deny that fact to myself.

Never forgotten that big 6ft weak 30 odd yr old child who still clings to his book for security at night.

I have many haha but here’s three:

‘Ew… you have hairy man arms.’ We were 11, I am a girl, and my guy friend said that, just cos I have a LITTLE hair visible on my arms. Ah yes, I’m sorry, all women should take the form of naked mole rats! 😃

‘When you said you play hockey I thought you meant you were a cheerleader. Girls can’t play hockey, their too weak to hit the ball.’ Yes. Because ‘ I play hockey’ can easily be mistake for ‘ I’m a cheerleader.’ I mean I’m a tiny little woman, so obviously you took it that way 🥺🥺

Him: ‘You should watch how much you eat.’
Me: ‘why?’
Him: ‘because it’s not ok for girls to get fat. You know, men work so hard they are allowed to eat whatever, women just stand there and look pretty.’
First of all, I’m nowhere near ‘overweight’ and even so, there is NOTHING wrong with ANYONE being overweight. I just stared at him until he left because I made him feel so uncomfortable lol 😂

I overheard two girls at my school talking about chess. One of the girls was saying that a boy said to her that it was weird that the queen in chess can move in all directions in an unlimited amount of squares, but that the king can only move one square at a time. And then she replied to him”Because men are useless”. And then when the boy got annoyed at her, she said that he shouldn’t get annoyed and that he was overreacting. And then her friend agreed with her.

Okay, let's think back to maybe... second grade? My gym teacher wanted help putting things away and he told all the boys to come help him. I wanted to help, so I came up, and he told me that girls couldn't do this. Another time, he ran an activity where we had to jump over something, and he wouldn't let the girls do it because he didn't think we could.
ALSO he called boys by their names and all of the girls 'Sweetheart.' Sexist guy.

I had a substitute for 4 months who wouldn't stop calling the girls "sweetheart" or "darling". Excuse me, NO. He was a 60-year-old man who sexually assaulted a boy and was targeting the African-American kids in our classroom. We continually asked him to stop, but he wouldn't until we brought this to the PRINCIPAL. I'm glad he's gone.

I was a very naive teenager. Now that’s out of the way…
My mom, me, and my sister had a girl’s day. We got dressed up and had our pictures taken.
During dinner with my family that night my father asked me how my day was.
“The photographer told me I have bedroom eyes!” I said, thinking it was a compliment…not realizing the enormity of what this grown man told a 14 year old.
As an adult now I look back in disgust.
It is not a compliment to sexualize a child.

Fr that guy was a creep. He should have gotten fired for saying that to anyone let alone a teen.

Is the OP saying that the person accepted marriage vows and that this was sexist? Or that they said the vows and later decided they were sexist? need clarity.

I was at a grocery store with my dad, and this 18-ish cashier (so, like, 3 years older than me) was checking our food out, right? When my dad’s finished paying, this dude starts to hand us our grocery bags. I try to grab one and the dude shoved the bag away from me and said ‘your dad is the man, he can grab the bags’. Suffice to say, I grabbed all the grocery bags from my dad and carried all of them out to the car. F**k that cashier.

Auto Shop class in high school. I couldn't find the battery in a car. Asked for help and got called a dumb blonde as the teacher looked under the hood to point it out to me. He couldn't find it either. Turns out it was in a compartment behind the passenger seat. When I complained to my counselor I was told to ignore it and they acted like it wasn't a big deal. Never went back to that class.

When I was in school? Girls couldn't take Auto Shop...we had to take Home Ec. I'm still ticked off about that.

To me isn't something said, it's a tacit (unspoken agreement) that if a girl or woman does something; no matter how brilliant, how far reaching, how supportive, it's insulting to the patriarchy.
The story of women doing their best is told as:

It's less that what a man could achieve, if he wasn't domineered by women who want to take his rightful place.

OMG take a look people at the women who've been side lined because to do something better than a man, was the worse insult a man could get.

He'd lose respect. He'd be a girl. He'd get told 'My daughter is better than you'.

It insults us all in its stupidity.

It's stupid stupid sexism.

When I was little, mom made me a cup of health drink. My grandma tried to stop her from doing so because I'm a girl, and according to her girls don't need anything like that. Health drinks are meant for boys.

I've heard lots and lots of sexist remarks till date, but that one got etched on my mind.
