The double standard of needing to wear makeup in the workplace and, if you don't, you're unprofessional. Yet liking makeup makes you superficial.

[mikedy]

When you beat a guy at something, they say, "Well.. I let you win."

[torifahringer]

"Do you have to wear that today? Your uncle is coming by with his sons" like excuse me?

[borhaptrash]

When asked if you think you are beautiful:
-yes: omg she’s so arrogant and selfish
-no: oh no sweetie, you should accept and embrace yourself. You should learn to love yourself...

[EmilyTheIt]

I am sick of the fact that the most important thing as a woman seems to be appearance

[LilithDark]

When a guy says “a period can’t hurt that bad” me “yeah no uterus no opinion!”

[parkergreaves]

If girls who like girls can stay calm when a girl is wearing a skirt, then maybe skirts aren't the problem.

[samfoley]

Not able to get birth control, can't walk anywhere alone at night, being taught what I can use as a weapon if someone approaches me, to never leave a drink alone and if you do to dump it, sexism, criticized for my weight, being groped then expected to not take it seriously, being asked if it's my time of the month when ever I'm upset about something petty, won't be taken seriously, being expected to have kids even though I don't want to.

[JoMeiFah]

when you stand up for women's issues, you get labeled a "feminist" like it's a bad thing. But when men stand up for women's issues, they're seen as heros.

[reiarts]

"that's not ladylike"
"oh you can't do that you're a girl"
"well ofc i let you win"
"lemme carry that for you"
"sports are for boys"
"you look like a boy"
"dress like a girl"
"wear more dresses"
"be more nice"
"why are you so uncomfortable?"
"dress more appropriately"

i think all girls can imagine at least a situation when these phrases can be said to you

[Alex_Hue]

The REAL reason why I hate gym class:
“You throw like a girl”
“You run like a girl”
“You hit like a girl”
“You kick like a girl”

[tillie]

You wear makeup:
“Oh, so you are insecure! Men like natural women!”

You don’t wear makeup:
“Wear makeup. You need to be more feminine! How men are going to look at you then?”

I’ve been told both.

[sarahdonnelly]

Never realized my shoulders were so sexy until dress code pointed it out.

[auri]

They see you as weaker, they you as "just a girl" they see you as an object. They give you so much disrespect but then want your body in return. It's not fair.

[spookyerin]

I saw this video where women responded back to catcalling and it was really inspiring

[mountaingoat]

A few days ago I was walking my dog and my breasts are big for my age, But this car full of guys passed me and whistled and catcalled right at me. I am also tall for my age so I look older than I am. But they kept saying "whats under that shirt girrrrl?, Can't wait to get in your pants sweety!, You look lonely. want me to fix that?" and a whole bunch of other stuff. I'm fourteen. Now I don't take my dog on a walk any more.

update: today (10-3-16) in school the same group of guys catcalled me today at lunch. The stupid thing is that they didn't get caught.

[amaelystyelcala]

I hate how often women are blamed for making men want them by wearing what they wanna wear, like something that shows the curves or something. It's men who should be respectful and not look too much.

[nikita-enpv]

Someone told me your bra strap is showing so I yelled "IM WEARING A BRA"

[anastasiastam]

I hate walking alone in the dark, especially when some men stop, look me up and down, smile and walk on, it creeps me out
