When faced with injustice, you generally have three ways how you can react. You can ignore it, keep your head down, and get on with your day without making any waves. You can try to be sneaky and make subtle 5D chess moves to outplay the situation to your own advantage. Or you can call the injustice out and shine a light on it for everyone to see, bold as brass, sometimes using humor to do it. That way, it’s harder to hide the injustice.

This list is about the times that women and men called out sexism and misogyny, as shared on the r/TrollXChromosomes subreddit. People from all walks of life, from everyday employees and parents to skilled professionals, confronted sexism on social media head-on to help everyone. Upvote the responses by these brave people that you agree with and let us know what you think in the comment section below.

The r/TrollXChromosomes will be celebrating its 10th birthday on the last day of March. "We're currently in the middle of intensive planning for the 10th Cakeday celebrations. It'll be so much better than our 5th Cakeday shindig, folks will cry. But we can't tell you more than that, lest our plans are foiled," the moderators told Bored Panda when we reached out to them.

They’re also steadily moving toward the 1 million member mark. Currently, they’re at just over 802k, so consider joining them and giving them a boost. They post about a variety of topics. In their words, they’re a subreddit for “rage comics and other memes with a girly slant.”

However, this doesn’t change the fact that the subreddit is also home to some serious posts that show how deeply sexism is enrooted in our society. Even to this very day. And while sexism can be subtle and covert, it can also be very overt. One example of this is women getting harassed on the streets. So while it’s one thing to confront sexism online, it’s a whole other ball game when it’s done in real life.

Agree. But they don’t actually respect that man. They just say “but he don’t mind if you have friends, right?” “I have a boyfriend” really only works because some men think it’s the only possible way THEY could be rejected when mama said they were so handsome!

I’ve Never Heard This Explained So Succinctly (Credit Fu**k_patriarchy On Instagram)

datingafeminist Report

Bored Panda spoke about how women should respond if they’re ever in a situation where they’re either being catcalled or openly harassed on the street with Emily May, the co-founder and the executive director of ‘Hollaback!’ The organization aims to end harassment in all of its forms.

May explained that women should always trust their instincts. “Listen to what your gut is telling you. There is no ‘right’ or ‘perfect’ response to harassment; however, studies show that having some kind of response (either in the moment or later) can reduce the trauma associated with harassment. If you decide to respond, do it for you.”

She said that it’s always all right to do nothing, smile, and keep walking. It’s always up to you to decide what’s right for you and if you want to confront your harassers. It’s always harder to do this in-person than behind the safety of your screen.

As May put it in an interview with Bored Panda, your safety is the main priority. However, if you feel safe and choose to respond to your harassers, there are three main approaches that you can take: setting boundaries, engaging bystanders, and documenting the situation. Let’s go into detail about each approach.

“Set the Boundary. Tell the person harassing you exactly what you want them to do and why. Look them in the eye and denounce their behavior with a strong, clear voice. Many people prefer to name the behavior. For example, you can say, ‘Do not [what they’re doing], that’s harassment.’ You can also simply say ‘that is not okay’ or ‘don’t speak to me like that.’ Say what feels natural to you,” May from ‘Hollaback!’ explained.

My friend told me she was so happy she is turning 40, because finally people have stopped with the baby questions, because now they think maybe she does not have kids because she is too old. And now she does not have do defend herself for not having kids. Jeez, why can't people just back off? Like, do people ask a women questions like that because they think they forgot to have kids and they need to be reminded?

Hmmm, a lot of the anti-choice comments are coming from posters with men's names (I'm a man, btw). This is literally a microcosm of what is wrong in the USA - a bunch of men with no clue about science and a woman's body passing laws about womens bodies. How about this fellas, if it's not your body, you get no say, plain and simple. If technology advances to the pont where men can carry babies, you can volunteer to carry all the baies to term to your heart's content. Until then, STFU about it.

YES! I have a friend who is a foster parent and the crazy number of hurdles she and her husband have had to jump through to adopt 2 of their foster kids is ridiculous. If they want to legislate away abortion then they damn well better revamp the adoption process to make it easier for these kids they forced into the world to find loving homes.

I'm sorry if I was confusing, I just meant that it's a myth among some men that women don't care about birth control because they can just get an abortion later. I had an abortion, so you people saying that I don't know what I'm talking about or saying it's not painful are just wrong. For me it was a horrible experience, I had to be in the hospital for two days.

A man can get a woman pregnant, have no legal rights to the child in the womb, have no right to an abortion, but be legally responsible for that child and the mother for the next 18 years. Also, the man doesn’t get a say if he wants to keep the baby but the woman doesn’t. But sure, this one’s clearly one-sided against women.

Foxxy (The Original)

If he doesn’t want kids then he needs to be responsible and take precautions just like women do. He can’t just rely on the woman’s contraception if he doesn’t want kids. Especially since no contraception is 100% effective. It does take 2 to tango and conceive a child but it only takes one to grow and sustain the foetus until birth. Pregnancy effects women in many ways and can change it forever and can even cause death. This is her LIFE, so the choice is solely hers and hers alone. The guy can have a say but in the end it is not his choice, it is not his body or life on the line.

It’s not murder coz it isn’t a living and breathing person. Just like it isn’t murder to turn life support of someone, they are only living and breathing because of machines. A foetus is only surviving and growing because it needs a host.

But babies are beautiful and wonderful and amazing. If you can't afford to care for YOUR baby, -a fellow young human life then you need to give it up to a nice family to adopt.

It is logical because in both instances, the government is trying to protect a child from harm or death. This is like questioning the reasoning between feeding someone that is starving and not being able to kill them because they are an inconvenience.

Actually I think it has to do with the high instances of girls in foster care having sexual abuse in their history and so won't do well in a single male household. So it just generally isn't the social workers go-to for foster placement for girls.

“The important thing is that you aren’t apologetic in your response, and that you don’t engage with them after you set the boundary. Oftentimes, people who harass may try to argue with you or dismiss you through further conversation or by making fun of you. As tempting as it may be to get into a verbal war with them, we don’t recommend it. The attention may further feed their abusive behavior and cause the situation to escalate. Once you’ve said your piece, keep it moving.”

The second approach is engaging bystanders by telling them what’s going on and what they can do to help you. “Not all bystanders have been trained to respond, but typically people do understand that street harassment is not okay and they want to help you, so what can you do to ask for that help? You will need to loudly announce to people around you what the harasser just said or did and identify them, like: ‘That man in the red shirt is following me. I need help!’” May explained.

She continued: “Then tell people what you want them to do, like, ‘Can you wait here with me?

The third and final approach is documenting the situation. If you feel that you’re safe and not currently in danger, you can consider taking a picture or a video of your experience. Or you can ask a bystander to do so.

“This could include the person harassing you, their license plate, or the scene. Some people use photos or videos to report an incident—for example, if the person was at work when this happened people may choose to report it to their employer.”

May detailed: “Others use it to share their story on social media or anonymously through ihollaback.org. Many find it to be empowering to turn the lens off of them and onto the person harassing them. It often has the potential to be hugely transformative. If it feels right to you then do it. It doesn’t work that way for everyone so ask yourself, ‘Does it feel right for me?’ or ‘Is there another way to respond?’”

According to May, there is no such thing as a ‘perfect’ response to harassment: “There is no such thing as a perfect response, this is not your fault, and you are not alone. Take the time to recover and employ strategies for taking care of yourself.”

One thing that you can do is to develop a ‘quick ritual’ to help you ‘shake off’ what happened every time that you get harassed. Having a friend that you contact when this occurs can also help. Sharing your story with the people you trust can be very powerful and healing. What’s more, affirming to yourself that you deserve better and that you won’t let ‘the haters’ get you down is another response.

I’m a fan of poet Dylan Thomas’ lines: “Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.” While the context is important, you can interpret the words to mean that you should fight for what’s right instead of giving in to the pressure placed on you to stay quiet. Just remember that your safety is paramount: online and IRL.

"Pull yourself up by your bootstraps" used to mean doing something literally impossible. That you have to perform a miracle to succeed.

Even in this 19th century arrangement, the women did not/do not live "for free". Women have been working (outside the home) throughout history, and there was a time that the husband legally owned all their earnings. And in addition, women in a "traditional" arrangement are usually expected to do all the cooking, cleaning, childcare (where applicable), and miscellaneous housework.

Spoiler alert. Quite a bit of females/women perpetuate the misogyny they’ve learned from other females/women and a society that treats them less. They teach us to police others who fall outside of their ideals, breeding another generation of misogynists. Gross.

She is right, you cannot be prosecuted by a state for something you did in another state, as its law did not apply on you when you did it.

Planned Parenthood caught my grandma's cervical cancer. She was over 60. She could afford the GYN there. The end. PP wins.

Women and children are far more likely than men to die in disasters. The men on the Titanic had to be forced at gun point to let women and children take their places in life boats.

So much in womens healthcare is missed because it either hasn't been studied, or if it something non-female specific, it was studied using only men.

If you believe women aren't funny, you should be taking them more seriously at least.

Today! In a Chinese divorce case, a judge is making a man pay his former wife for years of housekeeping. This could start a shift globally.

Women enjoy sex. Sounds like they just don't enjoy sex with you. You should work on that.

Joe Rogan is alright, he listens to all views and doesn't try to be right about everything, this guy could take the same approach, what a horribly misguided thing to say. Joe Rogan has also had many female guests on his show.

Ask a man if he still likes to orgasm with a condom. If he says "no," no sex. You'll be surprised how many are suddenly okay with wearing a condom.
