Hey Pandas, What's The Most Sexist Thing Someone Has Said To You? (Closed)

I know a whole lot, but I’ll stick to a few...

"Every time I hug women it's only so I can feel their b00bs" - some random guy at a festival I overheard who was going around giving a lot of 'friendly hugs' out.

"If women are so smart, then why can nobody name a single female philosopher unless you search for them on Wikipedia?" - some guy in the YouTube comments section. Me: "Maybe it's because throughout human history, women becoming philosophers was rarely encouraged within mainstream society? Also, becoming a philosopher is only one pursuit of intellect, the first computer programmer was a woman named Ada Lovelace."

Me: "Scientifically, all humans start off female in the womb." My dad: "Luckily I was born the better gender then." Me: "What? But mom told you kept wanting to have a baby girl instead of a boy." Dad: "Yeah, because girls are more family orientated. So you will be able to look after me when I'm older." Me: "..."

Some random guy during a VR shooter game: "You're only good at playing the game, because your boyfriend must of boosted your elo." Me: "umm, this game doesn't even have an elo or ranking system btw."

Me playing a video game: "I'm only able to buy (a weapon) next round, I'm poor right now." Random player: "ha! just like all women, because all women are poor." Me: "Do you even know who Kim Kardashian is?"

(Yeah, let's just say if these guys ever participated in a legal Ayahuasca ceremony, they'd be really embarrassed with the spirit of Mother Gaia showing them their place.) 😂

My grandfather to my aunt, who had just given birth:

"So glad that you gave birth to a boy! He'll be my handsome, smart boy! Girls are useless"

I was next to them in the same room, staring blankly (and "useless").
Damn, it did hurt.

"I want a real doctor".

I'm female/woman/cis hetero. And I earned that MD.

Second most?

"Nurse!"

"You should really wear some make up at work. It's be more professional." Sir, I am a mechanic.

So when I was like OBSESSED with capitan America (I was like 7yrs old) my dad got me the captain America action figure and I was so excited til my mom says, “(my name), give ur toy to (my brother’s name) you can’t play with that.” Then went on to give me a doll.

After my annual checkup, my doctor slapped me on the hips like I was a mare and said, "Yeah, you're meant to have kids!"

"Oh, no no no! Here sweetie, play with this *action figure!* That *doll* is for girls only!"

my extended family said that i couldn't be an astrophysicist (one of my dream jobs) bc I was AFAB (not their exact words, but close) they wanted me to be a homemaker. f**k that, imma be a theoretical astrophysicist.

"Women can't make their own decisions! They need a man to guide them. That's why we haven't had any female presidents."

Not so much now that I'm an adult, but as a male raised by a single mom, I was never into cars, GI-Joe or fixing things.

I was into the theatre, literature and art.

People always assumed I didn't have a girlfriend because I was gay. I didn't have a girlfriend because I had zero game.

One of the funniest was a guy telling me that girls only go for "looks, fame, or money."

I reallllyyy wanted to snap back that maybe guys are shallow enough to think that, but all the girls I know are more into personality and kind hearts, but I didn't because my sister piped up and said, "Or a sense of humor."🤷‍♀️

That I couldn’t tell men what to do because I was “just a woman”

That I can't take judo lessons (that I desperately wanted as a teenager)
or any sport, for that matter - because sport is for boys, while girls should spend their time cooking and cleaning the house (my father)

i knew this kid and he was talking about how he got suspended for kissing a girl and i was like "did she want to be kissed?" and he said "i didnt know her, i just thought she was cute so i went up to her and said 'your kinda cute' then kissed her, my dad didnt even get mad, he just said good job" HE WAS F*CKING 13 AT THE TIME

I cant. i just cant.

I worked nights at a grocery store while I was in college. I had started in video and ended up helping the office checkers with closing procedures because they were swamped. The front end manager who worked evenings had the office checkers train me and once they were satisfied I knew what I was doing, the front end manger put me in for promotion to office checker. When the male store manager (who only worked days) found out he wasn't happy. I was working in the office and he came in and said, "I don't care if had you trained and you are already doing the job, you aren't eye candy so you will never be an office checker in my store." Thankfully, the idiot said it in front of two of the office checkers I worked with. I filed a grievance with the union and got backpay for the office checker work and training I had done, then immediately quit. The store manager got demoted and moved to a store in the middle of nowhere. The front end manager became the store manager and one of the other checkers who also hadn't been eye candy got promoted to office checker.

I was told that women get equal pay but spend too much time off, so I’ll be a lazy worker.

-my own family SMH

In a factory where I was working: "Women are not allowed to enter the warehouse because they bring bad luck".
My auntie to my dad, in my presence: " Why do you let her go to college, it's a waste, she will get married and have babies".
And said to another woman but too hilarious to omit: "you have to obey me, I have a penis". He actually said it and meant it!!!

Not as extreme as the others but...

Was babysitting and this one kid (m) flat out told me he was stronger than me because ima girl...

I looked at this kid (6-8yrs) and went "girls can def be stronger than guys" he went nuh uh...

I told him not to talk like that etc.

I was really baffeled as im over twice this kids height, could lift him with one hand, and do a ton of sports

i, (cis-gender f), had a growing pixie cut at the time, teacher told me to go to the boys restroom (unsure how they thought this, i looked very much like a woman then) i asked her why and she said "cause i've seen enough boys with hair like you try to go to the girls restroom" (ended up getting into a fight with the kid in there)

The first day of high school I walked into my enhanced class and the (female) teacher looked at me and asked "Are you sure you're in the right place?" Apparently I didn't "look like" a gifted child. Clearly this woman bought into the dumb blonde stereotype.
