7 Everyday Sexist Comments Towards Women That Need To Go

Sexism is a social injustice. Us women are sick of having to deal with these discriminative, prejudice and stereotypical comments. WE ARE DONE.

1. Women don't know how to drive.

We've all heard "Men are better drivers than women." This mindset needs to change; women are just as capacitated as men to drive. According to a New York traffic study, 80% of crashes that kill or seriously injure pedestrians involve male drivers. Who are the real bad drivers?

2. Women belong in the kitchen.

According to research in Psychology of Women Quarterly, a journal from SAGE publishing, gender stereotypes are as strong today as they were 30 years ago. How is it possible that we're in 2017 and people still believe a woman's place is only at the kitchen?

3. Women have no brain cells and only exist to look pretty.

When men see a beautiful woman, they automatically assume she does not have any intelligence. Society has made men believe women solely exist for their gaze and pleasure.

4. A woman needs a man in order to be happy.

There is no woman who needs a husband in order to survive. George Gilder in his classic book Men and Marriages major point states that women do better without men than men without women.

5. Women are weak.

No matter how successful a woman can be, she still is perceived as weak. Yes, we may lack physical strength, but we are just as capable as men. We are not the weaker sex.

6. Women don't understand how to play sports.

"Boys are better at sports than girls." This is a lie. We all hear sterotypical comments like, "you throw like a girl" or "you hit like a girl." Girls have the same ability and skills to play.

7. All women have to be feminine.

Not all of us want to be a lady. Gigi Engle on Ellite Daily says, "We live in a world where we're supposed to be driven by feminism and soldiering for women's rights and yet we can still be told we aren't being “ladies.” Women are free to conduct themselves as they please.
