TikTok user @mandyalise recently asked women to share a time when a man said something super sexist to them:
In her TikTok, she told the story of a time when she went to a menswear store and the salesman explained the care instructions for her fiancรฉ's new dress shirts directly to her โ and not her fiancรฉ, who was right beside her, buying the shirts for himself.
Thousands of women started flooding the comments to share the mind-numbingly sexist things men have said to them, like that women can't do simple math:
And that not wearing makeup is unacceptable in the workplace:
Some women's fathers even tried to make them believe ridiculous things growing up, like that only girls do the dishes:
And others were told that things like politics are off limits:
Some dads even tried to minimize their own daughters' period pain:
This girl gets paid way less by her own father than her brother:
All of them โ but especially the ones coming from dads โ are horrifying:
!["my dad said that the world has gone to [smiling poop emoji] since women started wearing trousers and got the right vote"](https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2020-11/9/22/asset/210f10d1b1bf/sub-buzz-12677-1604960587-11.png)
This girl was basically told a boy would do a better job than her:
Some women had teachers who were incredibly sexist:
!["When I was 11 a teacher wanted someone to demonstrate push ups. I volunteered, he said 'no, I need a boy, girls can't do push ups'" [upside-down face emoji]](https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2020-11/9/22/asset/377599fc4b67/sub-buzz-12690-1604960562-20.png)
And were made to believe they could never be as strong as a boy:
!["When I was in elementary and the teachers would ask for a strong boy to help [three sad face emojis] I can help [two sad face emojis]](https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2020-11/9/22/asset/210f10d1b1bf/sub-buzz-12662-1604960594-15.png)
In fact, some women were told that it was wrong to even have muscles at all:
One male worker who was HIRED to clean up after a wedding told women that he was doing their job:
This woman was told she wouldn't be able to comprehend what her electrician was doing:
This male relative tried to make his niece believe she couldn't do anything without first considering how her ~hypothetical~ husband would feel:
Some men think that only other men can solve problems in the workplace:
And others apparently don't think women have brains:
This woman was treated poorly and disrespectfully during childbirth by her own male doctor:
One man told a woman that the only reason he wanted to get married was because he never wanted to clean:
Lots of men in college have tried mansplaining periods โ something they've never experienced:
It's sad to know that some male educators truly don't even believe women belong in their class:
This woman was told her intelligence didn't count because it came from actual literature:
And this woman was told that her dog wouldn't obey her because she was female:
This male boss didn't want helpful suggestions or input coming from females:
And this woman was straight-up told she was paid less because she was female:
This woman was made to feel like she couldn't buy a car on her own:
![Buying a car: car dealership would only talk to my ex even though I did all the research, comparisons/bargaining online, and had the down payment [rolling eyes emoji]](https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2020-11/9/22/asset/ae1dd0296fda/sub-buzz-12572-1604960600-1.png)
There are some men who truly don't believe women can like superheroes:
Or video games:
![I was told what would a woman possibly know about videos games at a friends house while I was still in my eb games uniform, PLAYING A GAME [woman face palming emoji]](https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2020-11/9/22/asset/a9d97942c6e8/sub-buzz-12478-1604960590-20.png)
This college professor assumes the only medical field women want to go into is nursing:
And this man thinks all women don't know directions:
![I gave a customer directions once and he had to double check if I mean left because 'you know women always getting confused with these things' [twinkling stars emoji]](https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2020-11/9/22/asset/f3f50a5fc486/sub-buzz-12476-1604960588-1.png)
This woman's ex assumed she didn't know how to swallow pills because she was female:
And this woman's ex couldn't stand the thought of her being more successful than him:
There are so many sexist things being said by men to young girls...
...And to full-grown, adult women:
SOCIETY, DO BETTER.
