50 Women Who Called Out Sexist Things That Are Still Blatantly Accepted

Interview

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.

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.

“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.

Yes exactly!!! People who seem to think that they have the right to dictate what a woman can and cannot do PISS ME OFF!!! Same as religitards who also seem to think that they can control people!!! Like seriously, if you don't like abortion, then DON'T GET ONE!!! But apart from that, mind your own business and worry about YOUR OWN life!!! Pro life people aren't pro life, they are PRO BIRTH!!! They don't care what happe s to the child AFTER it is born. They don't help look after the child or ANYTHING!!!

I've heard this one before and i totally agree with it. I did have an abortion 13 years ago when i was 19 and i remember how i felt back then, like it could not go fast enough. I just wanted it OUT. Now i have two kids and i'm pregnant at the moment (and i'm happy about that). Some people dont seem to understand that its a huge difference if you want to be pregnant or not. Its not the same. If you want a child it IS a child even early on, but if you don't its just panic and a nightmare. Its just pure evil to force someone to stay pregnant and give birth against their will.

Answering a lot of 'she brought it on herself' comments here. There was a meme a long time ago, I can't find it but it went something like this: Abortion is the only treatment we justify denying based on how the person got into that situation. Climb the tree and break your leg? We'll fix it! Shoot yourself in the leg becuase you didn't secure your gun? Your doctors are here for you! Lifelong smoking caused a lung cancer? Let's treat it! Want to terminate unwanted pregnancy? You shouldn't have been a s**t!

Because they look at it like all those things are directly affecting you. An abortion affects you and another person. To be clear I am not saying I do or do not believe in abortion. I think it's a very complicated issue and every persons story is different. The one thing I personally don't believe in is when women use abortion as birth control But again all stories are different and I wouldn't judge someone.

I have kids. I was young (21), unmarried, and in a very unhappy relationship. It was my choice to keep my children. It's hard sometimes but I'd choose it again and again. But if I met someone in a similar situation and they chose not to carry to term, that is their choice and I support that just as much. Everyone is different.

Yeah these PRO Lifers say they care about children, but really all they are is Pro Birth. Once the child is born, they don't care any more. Can you imagine how overpopulated the world would be if EVERY SINGLE CHILD was born??? We would be like China and India, even WORSE really!!!

I agree with the message but I disagree that this is one of those 'things men don't understand'. Where (and when) I grew up, it was illegal. When your girlfriend told she thought she was pregnant, you both felt that same fear! It is no longer illegal in my home country, but still difficult to get help. Abortion is a subject that needs to be talked about and, regardless of your opinion, should ultimately be up to the person who's body is affected. There is no person on this planet that can give a valid logical reason why it should be illegal!

Did they say ALL men? They just said "men" because men are usually the ones who can't experience abortion. It's assumed that it's not every single goddamn man. We just thought people would be smart enough to understand that.

I think you need to change your username, it doesn't suit you. Contraception is not 100% reliable. 1 in 100 pregnancies is due to contraception failure. And is one of the main reasons for abortion.

Thats pretty much the point. If you are not in a place in life where you can take care of a child or really dont want children it is pretty much is a trap. And thats why abortion could be the best or only option. Most women want the very best for their child and if they can't provide that at the time it could be better to let it go... I see no "monster" in that.

For a woman you are a sexist piece of work. Expecting a woman to never have sex unless it is for procreation whilst a man can have sex as much as he likes is just bullshit. Just another way to control womens bodies.Tell me, do you only have sex to procreate?

Going by your logic we should not be allowed to take anti-parasitic medication or nit treatment coz it is ending a life. Make sure you watch where you step and never kill an insect or spider etc coz believe it or not, but they are also life, I hope you say no to antibiotics coz bacteria is alive, don’t eat fruits, fungi, veg or animals coz they too are alive. Life must prevail.

1 in 100 pregnancies is due to contraception failure. And yes my body, my life, my choice. I am not risking MY life for a foetus of I choosr. A foetus is not a living, breathing, sentient being, I am. I have family, friends, an identity, I am living, I am breathing. All of what a foetus isn't. It is not illegal to turn someone's life support off because they can't live without it, just like a foetus can't live without the woman. A foetus has no idea it is being aborted so wouldn't care but I care if I was forced into an unwanted pregnancy. There is no comparison between a living and breathing individual and a foetus that needs a host to survive.

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.

“The idea here is that you want you to develop resilience so that you can get out there and keep being you in the world,” May told Bored Panda.

Storytelling, journalism, and art are a core part of who I am. I've been writing and drawing ever since I could walk—there is nothing else I'd rather do. My formal education, however, is focused on politics, philosophy, and economics because I've always been curious about the gap between the ideal and the real. At work, I'm a Senior Writer and I cover a broad range of topics that I'm passionate about: from psychology and changes in work culture to healthy living, relationships, and design. In my spare time, I'm an avid hiker and reader, enjoy writing short stories, and love to doodle. I thrive when I'm outdoors, going on small adventures in nature. However, you can also find me enjoying a big mug of coffee with a good book (or ten) and entertaining friends with fantasy tabletop games and sci-fi movies.

for the men who feel attacked or sad in the comments, I feel attacked and sad when I, a thirteen-year-old girl, get catcalled for wearing leggings or dress coded for "distracting the boys from their education by wearing a tank top in 100-degree weather". This society is so inherently sexist and when you say that people speaking out about their experiences is hurting your feelings, perhaps you are the issue.

Beautifully put MadDawg. Honestly disappointed in some of the reactions from the fellas. As if the world wasn't man-centric enough they have to make an article about the sexism experienced by women about THEM.

"Every single time a man sleeps with a lot of women, he's called a stud. But if a woman sleeps with a lot of men, she: called a s**t and people think this is unfair... Nah. It's completely fair. and I'll tell you why, alright? “Cause it's f****n' easy to be a s**t. It's f****n' hard to be a stud. To be a stud you have to be witty, charming, be weII-dressed, have nice shoes, and a fake job. To be a s**t you just have to be there. There are fat ugly sluts out there, there are no fat ugly Studs." - Jim Jefferies

Today I was treated to two instances of being talked down to because of my gender and I was mega p*ssed. Where did this happen? In the two hobby shops here in Melbourne CBD, Victoria Australia.How did this happen? Because I dared to go in and ask got something I needed but apparently these men knew more about what I needed than I did, even after I already told them both I knew exactly what I was after and what it was for. They’re both lucky I was able to keep my temper and not give them both a fkn black eye. Female staff member just looked the other way and my bf just stood there and did nothing :( I’m sick of being treated like an idiot just because I’m female 😡

I have a pretty masculine hobby, I ride motorbikes. We are ALL so over being chopsed at by men who often know less about the engine than we do. I know fuckall about engines, and even I can tell some things are wrong. I told a recovery control that my bike tyre couldn't be repaired at the roadside. He said, oh I'm sure it can, just sit tight and the truck will be along soon". Truck arrives, and lo! My bike tyre is unrepairable roadside... whats that, you'll have to despatch another truck to remove the bike to the shop? The drivers were fine, but equally pissed off.

Dudes in comments be like: "Oh I felt super uncomfortable reading this article. Why are you posting stuff like this ?Boo #notallmen". Bro, if you felt uncomfortable reading about this s**t in an article think about how it feels for the women that have to experience this kind of crap themselves, in real life, all the goddammed time. Hint: it's quite a bit worse than uncomfortable. Bonus: implying that the reason why you are an unempathetic, whiny, sexist amoeba is because all the "woke" people are so aggressive and rude to you about this topic is pretty f*****g pathetic

The men who are heroes are the ones who have leaped up when they see or hear a waitress respond to a guy who just groped her, and take that pos out of his chair and grab him between his legs. Only then does a guy truly understand how it is for a woman to be groped by a man?

The level of anger this article has generated saddens me. We still have so far to go. Acknowledging there's a problem is the first step in resolving it. It does not mean anyone here has been personally accused. As for the 'what-about'-ers, it's not a competition.

I just went through the list and 88% of the posts were about a specific guy "this guy said this to me", or about a specific type of guy "men who say ___ are jerks". Yet people are crying in the comments here "Why are they blaming all men? I didn't do anything? You are so mean!!". They DIDN'T blame all men. You clearly need to work on your reading comprehension skills.

I was a competitive figure skater during high school, and my gym teacher refused to let me do any of the 'strong' exercises (ie using any weights over 5IBS) because I was a girl. My best friend at the time would always trade w/ me after the teacher forced me to only use the light ones b/c he wasn't able to use the 15IBS, but I could (in situps and the like). Also going to college and being told that women should stay at home to fix the house up nice and have dinner ready when the man walks into the door, and shouldn't be in classes learning how to fix cars. The high school also refused to let the girls wear jeans and tshirts, only long dresses, polos and either skirts or dress pants. The boys usually wore tshirts and jeans.

This scratches my nerves very uncomfortably. I am male. I might have done some of these things. Don't get me wrong, I am in control of my libido as much as I am in control of my aggressions or possessive impulses - I don't steal, I don't hit, I don't molest, let alone rape. But I do have impulses. I do have the impulse to take what isn't mine, to assault who did me wrong, to... again take what is not mine. I think we all have, but I hope from sentient beings that we can and will control them. But this sad experiences of so many girls and women tell different stories. I don't know what to do, I don't know how to react. Ignoring what I have been taught as gallantery - open doors, taking the heavy lifting, treating ladies like fragile, delicate beings - strikes me as rude behaviour, but doing so is subliminal sexist. Offering company or having an eye over the drinks of girls or butting in in a quarrel, I just end up looking like the next offender waiting in line...

Reading this again, it sounds like the "it's not me" whine you're so rightfully sick off. Sorry. What can I, as an individual male, do - other than not being that guy and making sure my sons won't be, either? Of course I should step in where I see missing consent. But: a) I once got mobbed by a bunch of sickos because "their girl" was polite to me and I was polite to her. We're talking about holding the door and thanks... So please don't assume that every man in your vicinity has the balls to jump in like superman but just doesn't care. Those of us who do care don't have the balls to jump in, because we are the ones that get mauled by those sexist macho sickos, too. b) more than once I got berated by the girl since obviously I disturbed their crude mating ritual where she wants to be stalked after her first 3 "No!"s. She wants no softy gay limp noodle but a real man who can take her like he pleases... like what the hell, girl?! Ill try to be a better person, to help where Im welcome.

Still wondering why BP insists on posting articles that do nothing but incite people to name call, half the comments are hidden because they're rude, obnoxious and mean, lots of the usual America Bashing, lots of down votes for anyone who politely and intelligently doesn't post with the accepted mindset of the other BP members, lots of misinformation and the usual division into "you" them" Republicans" Americans" you're ignorant" garbage as "comments". Of all the laughing and crying I've done on this site today, it all slams to a halt and I leave because I just don't see a reason to choose and feature articles that are just going to upset people and bring out the trolls or hit a nerve. There's so much out there so why fish around on Reddit and Twitter and IG and FB for the most dividing stories out there? This site is so much fun when it's interesting and based on the smart, friendly, educating commonalities of us all. Why throw a bomb in all the time and blow things up, BP?

Found this poem on Reddit that I think applies here. Credit to u/Poetry_duderino for it. "Why is it that when she says it, it's all right? Why is it that when I mention it, it ends in a fight? Why are women allowed to do more than men? They say that women are oppressed, and I agree. But in a way, no man is free. We don't mean to be rude, but whatever we do. We say something wrong, and everyone gets mad at you. One wrong word, one wrong leap. You take the jump and it ends in a heap. A bunch of trash, you're put by. It can hurt someone so much, they want to die." All the stuff that people say about us dudes hurts, too. Keep that in mind before posting things like this.

We need to stop making women responsible for unwanted pregnancies. The truth of the matter is that men are responsible, 100%! Outraged? Think that's a ridiculous comment? Consider this then , men have control over where and when they ejaculated. Women have no control over when they ovulate unless they are on the pill. No sperm no pregnant.

Really, the problem isn't men. The problem is that all birth control methods available on the market have some kind of disadvantage and the whole burden is usually placed on women (IUDs, pills, etc.) because we're lacking birth control methods for men! They have no real alternatives between condoms and a vasectomy.

I know im going to get downvoted to hell for this but some the post is toxic and rude. Abuse does apply to everyone. I know abuse can occur but it does happen to everyone.

This isn't saying all men are bad, this is saying society treats women far worse than men, and showing instances of that. It's not their fault you thought this was ment to hurt your feelings luv ❤

No one claimed all men were guilty, that's dismissive and a copout. Also there was no man bashing in the article. Might want to examine why your response was so defensive.

There are tons of instances on BP where they list the accomplishments of men! You just turn a blind eye on those, don't you?

At least they are explicit. The anti women threads here are more insidious. Disguised as empowering invitations to readers to troll women for their interests and decisions.

"A few people"? If you are that naïve, then you are part of the problem. You CAN be blamed for not helping fix the problem, and turning a blind eye to all the crap that goes on.

Good thing that didn’t happen. So why don’t you care about women’s issues?

When you share a thought that people believe is wrong, they will tell you that it is wrong. That's how free speech works... or did you think that only you are allowed to share your thoughts?

Nah it’s just that you don’t care about issues minorities experience. You can only see yourself, so, naturally you’ll always be a victim.

Then you need to read it again because you are the exact kind of person who this is for. It isn’t about you and your trashy opinion. This is about women. Get over yourself.

So you do your fair share of domestic work, don’t consume misogynist porn and your girlfriend /wife isn’t on hormone suppressing medication?
