Are you a woman? I've never met a woman who hasn't had some experience with this. Sexism is everywhere, and if you haven't really experienced it, that's bcz you're a guy.

Don't know what the other comment was, but everyone has experienced sexism. It's inevitable that inaccurate gender stereotypes will be applied to you at some time. For men it's just the "stop emoting you fucking pussy" or "you suck at nurturing so don't even try."

The patriarchy fucks us all.

While I agree, men face sexism too, in a different way. It feels like minimizing their experiences, to have someone come in here and say, well, actually, men face sexism as well.

I am a guy, for the record. I just finally started listening to the women in my life who have been telling me for years that they face this stuff.

I don't think it's minimizing to acknowledge that sexism is endemic and cuts both ways.
