People Are Calling Out Overtly Sexist Things That Still Exist In Our Current Society, And Here Are 50 Of Them
With one small step at a time, society changes, and hopefully, things improve.
Life is brimming with conspicuously sexist things, and the everyday legends of the internet continue to call them out, make fun of them, and focus on them to make it clear that these types of things are not okay. And with one small step at a time, society changes, and hopefully, things improve.
Education is an indispensable piece in the battle for greater equality, empathy, respect, and inclusiveness. However, alone, without continuous and passionate support from us, education is not the panacea against misogyny, sexism, and harmful masculinity that many of us are searching for.
It's not a limited-time offer type of arrangement; it's actually a long, difficult, and debilitating process, a conflict of weakening between contending ideas. The r/TrollXChromosomes subreddit is an online community that has been active for many years now and has more than 810k members.
The group documents when men and women stand up to sexism, toxic masculinity, and misogyny. And you’ll agree with me that we need to see more people in our society stand up to such issues.

A good education is certainly key, but it is particularly up to all of us to face it head-on by not permitting the continuation of toxic masculinity. This implies that all of us, regardless of our identities, need to actively challenge sexism and homophobia.
