These 50 People Use Humor and Intelligence to Fight Patriarchy and Sexism
Sexism is still present.
Humor has a way of cutting through sexism faster than a long lecture ever could. That is exactly what these posts do, turning everyday patriarchy into something sharp, funny, and impossible to ignore.
The collection comes from Humans of Patriarchy, a Facebook page where people share memes, testimonies, and screenshots that call out double standards, misogyny, and the small absurdities that keep showing up in daily life. The result is part comedy, part frustration, and fully relatable.
Some of the posts are blunt, some are clever, and all of them make the same point: this conversation is still far from over. Read on.

These posts don’t paint a pretty picture of the world we live in, do they? The good news is that it can change.
But it is up to us. Our support should be more than just words.
