Girls, Do you think the saying take it like a man is sexist?

Well duh. because it perpetuates the whole "men can't feel' narrative.

Do you think it applies to being tough when it comes to sports injuries

[HelpfulWoman]

Sure. Like I said, it perpetuates ignoring your feelings and that's not right.

I’m on the soccer team at my college and we often scrimmage the women’s team and at what point a pass got deflected and hit me in the nuts and I dropped to the ground and one of the girls was giving me a hard time for not taking it like a man

[HelpfulWoman]

Then she's a dickhead. Dickheads come in both genders

[Asker]

What makes you say that? Is there not any expectation in sports?

[HelpfulWoman]

physical injury is physical injury. being told to "take it like a man" is so outdated and stupid.

[Asker]

True I guess it was embarrassing because it brought attention to my man parts
