How Men React When Sexism Is Turned On Them

[Joseph]

Many women describe sexism as a part of 'normal' life. Here Leah Green goes undercover in London to see how unsuspecting men react to sexist situations often experienced by women – but this time perpetrated by a female. All scenes are based on real encounters reported by women to @EverydaySexism

She didn't have to go undercover.

Isn't it obvious how we react?.

Only to the sharp ones.

Interesting social experiment.

:LMAO: Will you go home with me? Nope, but I'd take her in the alley and stuff her pooper!

I'm glad you posted this blackram, even if it is a repeat as I couldn't get the link in Joseph's thread to work.

Women can feel free to hoot and holler at me all they want and use cheesy pick up lines on me. They can behave in a sexist manner towards me (and have). I just don't let it bother me and will often play along just to mess with them.

These tests are always going to fail, because men find this behaviour innocent and harmless. The fact that women find it menacing and frightening may end up with certain men taking advantage of that to have a little bit of evil fun, which may go too far. I always thought that women should just accept this sexist behaviour as silliness rather than as serious, and they could always diffuse the situation by playing along. Sometimes women rely a little too much social engineering away men's behaviours rather than just adjusting to it. Certain men's social tendencies may be harmful, and they need to be regulated, but this stuff is nothing more than flirting.

Don't want attention from men, wear a fat suit.

Amen.
