Since young, females are subject to different standards than men, some which work in our favour (less stringent physical test criteria) and many others which don’t (why can’t you hold a full time job and bring up 2 kids like your male colleagues?)
Some instances of sexism which we take for granted as ‘normal’:
– A single woman is left on the shelf, but a single man is too cool to be tied down
– Women shouldn’t shoot guns
– All women are bad drivers
– Mothers should stay at home, fathers should work. Househusbands are sissies, dominated by alpha females
– It’s not OK for an older or taller woman to date a younger or shorter man
– Women should know their place, don’t outshine the boss
– It’s OK to order your female colleague to make tea for the male colleagues.
– All food orders or matters should be handled by the females, it’s not Man to be doing it
– Housework is still the woman’s job, regardless of whether she has a full time job or not
– A woman shouldn’t have defined muscles, they should be lean and lithe
– Dad bods are normal, mum bods are so aunty
– A female boss is my worst nightmare
– Female staff are satisfied with less compared to male staff, and that’s how they will be rewarded accordingly
– Lastly, women were created to serve men
