THREAD: EVERYDAY SEXISM

A lot of men have this talent of pulling women down and trivialising their accomplishments; significant or mundane, their choices and their perspectives. I came across a number of posts of men saying that women get more likes because they are women.

I have nothing to say about who these men are but I can make sense of where it comes from. It is the mindset I and believe a lot of women come across in different ways. Like when I was at the top of a merit list, my university classmate told me that women were only

good with scoring high but never good with doing practical work or taking initiatives beyond books. It felt like a slap on all my hardwork and my high score seemed like something I had to be embarrassed about. I lost a bit of self respect and its been four years since

I am still recovering. I am sure the guy doesn& #39;t even remember. And unfortunately, this wasn& #39;t the only instance. It keeps happening. Their deep shit insecurity crosses new limits everyday, without them realising or them feigning ignorance.
