Have you ever experienced or witnessed sexism?

[Anonymous]

I have experienced sexism many times. I have been slapped and called a bitch by my ex boyfriend, and I’ve been catcalled since I was only 11 years old. I have also witnessed sexism towards men. Once I saw a women hit a man with her purse and no one batted an eyelid

[Jakeofalltrades93]

i knew this one female cashier at work. one day i noticed she looked upset and i asked what was wrong. she told me that these customers would always in and specifically go through her line, no matter if others were open or if she had lots of people. she told me that they would then make all kinds of sexual commits and it was really bothering her. i asked if she told a manager and she said she hasn't, so i did it for her. the next they came in i called the manager over right away and they took over the transaction and soon after they were banned from the store. don't know if that counts but its what i thought of

I have.. Im a victim of domestic violence which i get made fun of for.. and i have the scars on my face to prove it. and i can tell you multiple times in the past where i was touched or groped by women at work and i got fired for complaining about it.

[Asker]

I’m so sorry ❤️

[worldscolide]

Im past it, it happened many years ago, in a taco bell no less. All of the management were women, and well i was good looking to them i guess.. i hated my time there.. Thanks for the response though.

Yes I experienced sexism. It´s something guys can experience, too. It´s different but also there. In school a female teacher once asked if I´m sure that I´m a guy because I wasn´t at good subjects and that were commonly known as guys being good at such sports or science subjects, also I have nice hand writing. Combined with me spending many of the breaks with girls, I should think about the option that I could be a girl trapped in a boy´s body. It wasn´t a teacher I had long time and I didn´t tell my parents. But sexism isn´t something that just happens to girls.

guys can get abused or raped also. just almost never hear about it. because he'll be laughed at or picked on for it. since there are no support groups for guys. when this happens to them. they are more likely to commit suicide.

Well... few things here: 1) Sexism can take many, many forms, most of them passive and some of them even harmless enough, whereas here it seems that you're pretty much mostly referring to domestic violence-- I wouldn't refer to domestic violence, something far more serious than just a joke between friends, as mere "sexism." Call it what it is, which is domestic violence or violence against women. 2) Sure, all of us have, in some form or fashion. It just depends on the seriousness of the issue.

Regularly. Nobody cares if a man suffers. He is expected to carry on or die, basically. This extends to little boys.

It's real, but people either minimize it, or try to blame the victim, probably to feel better about their own damage.

[American_Centurion]

Sure have

[Reaperbot666]

those are some of the biggest reasons. why more and more guys end up checking out in life.

Sexsism is made up by snowflakes who get offended by everyting.
If you get slapped, it's because you deserved it (by something you did, or just by choosing to be with a wrong person)
She hit him with a purse? Seems like they had unresolved issues, and resolted to violence instead talking about it. Why would i even bother stepping in? I'd just pretend i didn't see it.

[Asker]

I didn’t deserve to get slapped 🖕🏻

[Asker]

And you’re a pussy for not wanting to step in

[CikaZivan]

Your anger is misplaced. This app is all about hearing different people's opinion.
If you didn't deserve getting slapped by your actions, you deserved it simply by choosing to be with a person who resorts to violence rather than words.

It's not i wouldn't want to step in because i'm afraid of anything, i just believe people should stand up for themselves. They should fix their problems on their own. I'm a mere stranger who does not know their story.
If she was beating the crap out of him with that purse, and kicking him while on the ground, that's time for stepping in.

[Asker]

I didn’t know he was going to hit me, he just suddenly slapped me, he seemed like a nice guy. Abusive relationships are hard to escape because the abuser has an emotional hold over you. They can gaslight you into blaming yourself. It’s always easy to leave or defend yourself. You probably can’t understand because you have never experienced abuse or sexism. But anyways, you can have your opinion I guess

[CikaZivan]

I'm a type of person who never hit a girl, only my sister when we were kids, we beat all the time.
I'm in a relationship with a girl, and i'm type of person who likes teasing and going on their nerves, so i often do get hit. I ask for it on my own, and i sorta like it :)
But problems are resolved without ever using violence, not even raising a voice.

I'm sorry about your experience.
I have a memory of my dad beating my mom when i was little, but she didn't give up, and changed him. Now he's a person who'd never do such a thing, caring person.
If you really care for a person, you could try changing him, making him understand. It will take time and effort, and lots of tears. But some people cannot be changed. Just find a terry chews talking about his dad on youtube.

[Asker]

Okay, but no one should have to tolerate abuse :)

[Anonymous]

Yes, many times. But the one that bothers me most is the fact that my sister got a full ride uni scholarship and financial aid despite being fuck up, simply because she was female, and I got shit even though I had much better grades, better work experience, better community service and better research work.

[888theGreat]

well I will get flack, but here it goes. Women that dress skimpy are more likely to get raped , also heavy drinking by women leads to rape. If a woman flirts with a guy and gets in tight place , she could very well get raped.

Now abuse , if you dated a guy for more than a week before living with him , you might find out if he is violent. So, if you sleep with dogs expect to have fleas. Any woman that stays with a guy after he hits you , I have no pity for. Stupid deserves no mercy.

[Asker]

Most rape victims know the rapist, they’re not usually a stranger, so your skimpy outfit excuse doesn’t work. Also, I got sexually assulted in my school uniform, which wasn’t skimpy at all. And imagine if a little girl wore shorts, does that mean she deserves to get raped?

Secondly, my ex didn’t hit me for a year before he slapped me. It’s not always a instant red flag. And abuse victims are often manipulated by their abuser to stay. My ex told me he’d kill me if I broke up with him.

[LoU_Hades]

Experienced and witnessed but I don't make some personal trauma out of this behavior, even if I it's feels like objectification and dehumanization.

[Jackblue]

I have probably been kind of sexist myself in my behavior, as to whether I have actually attacked a woman or seen a man assault a woman no, though a woman once told me a story about a man she didn't know grabbing her butt.

[SlothySlob]

I don't interact with people much, so no. I have been told stories, but I have not lived it in any way.

[Stoner710]

Yeah I’ve seen sexism I’ve seen racism and it’s mainly toward white people and men. Or Democrats telling black people they are oppressed and because they are oppressed they can’t do anything that’s racism to me

[Nachowedgie]

I've experienced and witnessed extreme sexism against men.

Also the 1 in 6 stat is total bs just so you know

[Asker]

Oh really? Why?

[Gedaria]

Sadly it's a man's world, it is slowly changeing...

[Sabatoge]

Every time I see a bitch ask someone to hold open a door

[Dinosaursandanime65]

THAT'S TOTALLY NOT WHAT YOUR SUPPOSED TO DO. how dare he. Look at all the new additions to my list.

[Agape93]

Yeap on both ends of the spectrum

[Ripper_E]

Many times
