Women responding to a Reddit question about subtle sexism described unsolicited comments on their bodies, men addressing male companions instead of them, and women’s expertise being dismissed at work. The article compiles these personal accounts from daily life.
Other commenters described unwanted touching and men persisting with offers to carry belongings after being told no. Some said women were judged as rude or too direct for behavior they saw treated more favorably in men, including in classrooms and workplaces.
Accounts also covered practical and recreational settings: commenters said protective equipment and tools were difficult to find in women’s sizes, and recounted assumptions about women’s skill in coed sports and online games.
