Microfeminism is a strategy some women use to gently, yet meaningfully raise up other women in, often, male-dominated spaces. This can be everything from not defaulting to masculine pronouns to battling manspreading, but some folks get even more creative.
So some women turned to the internet to share the ways they practice “microfeminism” so others can try it too. Settle in, get comfortable as you scroll through, maybe take some notes if you see something useful and be sure to add your own thoughts and examples in the comments section down below.

I cuss and never apologize. Since I'm tall and big, I get misgendered as a man, so I say in my highest-pitched voices, "What do you mean, sir?" Always embarrasses dudes. I also wear a US Army veteran cap in the sun.

I’m in a bowling league that’s majority men. It’s well-established courtesy to wait for the bowlers on the lanes next to you to finish their throw before you step up. If I’m up, and they ignore me, so they can go first, I bowl anyway.

Im no longer helping, teaching or instructing men. Can’t find the can opener? Can’t help you. Don’t know how to wash your wool sweater? Too bad. Need help choosing a bday gift for your mom? You’re on your own

I work in an office for a construction company. When I draw up contracts, I put the wife/female partner's name first before her man's. 🙂↕️🖤

I used to refer to everyone on an anonymous mom’s site as ‘she’ even if I knew there were men posting. But I stopped because I didn’t want to cause dysphoria for trans folks.

Mine is marking every marital status box incorrectly because if I have to disclose my marriage in my “address”, men should too.

For me it used to be opening doors or giving up my seat. Never again though.
