Sympa qu'ils aillent ajouté "maman" au titre "Dis Papa, c'est quoi ton travail" mais ça sent quand même le rajout pas très réfléchi. Le pire exemple c'est Monsieur Le Maire et son assistante #EverydaySexism

"Research questions piano’s one-size-fits-all keyboard"
https://news.stanford.edu/stories/2026/07/piano-keyboard-design-standard-narrow-women-research
"Through roughly age 14, young women win piano competitions at slightly higher rates than young men; a similar pattern seen in violinists. Then, for piano, the ratio flips, and men dominate all the way up to elite competitions like the Van Cliburn."

As a feminist, I really messed up today!
Today was yet another meeting that could just as easily have been an email (or, at best, a strongly worded letter). Yes, the company is dealing with a disproportionately high number of layoffs. So the topic was: improving customer satisfaction (but without having to pay for it). Anyway… What’s really upsetting me—unfortunately only in hindsight—is that the CEO kept drawing comparisons: “Getting laid off is the same as cheating.” The image of a good company was also consistently defined this way: “If you don’t want your wife to cheat on you, you have to be the best husband.” And this anecdote was brought up repeatedly—almost to the point of overuse.
Unfortunately, many ideas didn’t occur to me until long after I’d had time to think about it:
- How awful (and embarrassing) life must be if that’s the measure of all things.
- The exaggerated assumption of “what a woman expects” so she’ll stay with you (because otherwise you’re completely screwed)
- But most importantly: Have you, you stupid motherfucker, ever asked any woman—other than the one who gave birth to you or who you’re financially dependent on today—what she thinks about this?Unfortunately, all these thoughts occurred to me far too late in response to the question, “Imagine our customers are your wives....”
Update/Edit 2026-08-24T21:00:00 :
How would you react? Whether you're willing to risk getting fired, are already extremely dependent on your salary, or if this is just one more straw that breaks the camel's back?#EverydaySexism #Alltagssexismus #feminusmus #sexismusamarbeitsplatz #toxicleadership #corporateculture

Found the ad being discussed on youtube shorts, and yeah, the male golfer runs at a female golfer who is approaching his golf bag and shoves her to the ground.
Quite rightly it's being pointed that this ad went through many layers before eventually being filmed and published, and that nobody pulled the plug at any stage is telling.
I am not going to look at any of the comments as I don't need the misogyny or minimising of domestic violence and abuse. I did see (but not play) one video that started with saying that the number one issue was the acting 🙄

The disturbing rise of ‘gooner’ assaults at Dollar Tree stores: men are goading each other online to masturbate in public – & on female shoppers – while recording it, & then post the footage.

Anthony Albanese and the Labor party need to stop trying to be entertaining and start trying to be a responsible, transformative and forward thinking government.

"Gov UK wallet" is a great example of the normalisation of the concept that a man is the neutral, default, primary type of human.
Just a word?
Then call it gov UK Purse.
Oh, just a word still?

What's a patriarch's favorite paradox?
Women are too emotional to lead, but also responsible for managing everyone's emotions -
I guess it's a sign of sexism that housework isn't generally considered to be proper exercise.
"Housework = Women's work" .

I don’t fly often. But when I do, I get super annoyed by #eurowings. And not for the reason you may think:
They seem to be unable to have a computer system where professors are female. And as that title is in my frequent flyer info, I can never check in online as obviously #conputersaysno to a woman checking in as Professor Blekman #everydaysexism

I'm with my son, buying more school trousers.
A girl near us has picked out a nice hoodie. Her dad says to her "that's a boys top, don't you want to choose a girl's top?"
Her mum responds "it looks unisex to me, she can have it if she wants it."
Dad channels his best talk radio dickhead voice and mutters "I suppose, I guess you can't say boys and girls any more." I swear he's partly addressing it to me. You had better believe I left him hanging.
Just another day in #Horsham #EverydaySexism

I've met many men on the Internet who were openly misogynistic. These men are out there in the real world too. Chances are, you pass several of them every day without knowing. So you know I don’t want to hate men. I know there are good ones, I do see them. But most give me new reasons every day to keep distance and stay on guard. Sometimes it overwhelms me, weighs too heavily on me and i fear i can't stay strong without the world making me cruel

Female artists in #Turkey who do not conform to the government's image of women are being targeted by the Turkish justice system. The girl band Manifest is being investigated for "indecent and immoral acts" and "exhibitionism."

Copied from Lancashire cricket's facebook page. The TV umpire was Sue Redfern (a very experienced and well respected umpire, who happens to be female). She did not find sufficient evidence to overturn the on-field decision of her (male) colleague. #cricket #EverydaySexism Text in alt-text as too long for post.

My husband and I are both directors of our business with equal ownership and both named as owners on the website yet here in the 21st century companies will still send us cold selling pitches addressed solely to Adam. And I send those emails straight to the bin

Being of the female persuasion and owning cats, I am aware of toxoplasmosis (it can cause miscarriage and fetal complications). Why do I get the feeling that a link to male fertility will suddenly get it a lot more funding and research? #EverydaySexism

The Truth About #Diddy Might Be Darker Than the Rumors
The conspiratorial guesswork distracts from the all-too-ordinary issues at the center of his case.
“…the speed & sheer giddiness with which conspiracist thinking eclipsed the known details of #Combs’s case confirmed a few bleak realities about the psyche of a country in which economic #inequality & #SexualAbuse are both stubbornly endemic.

I really wish the BBC sport app would display the live cricket scores & fixtures in a time of day order, or at least with the active games at the top of the page. Having to scroll down to find the in-play women's #VitalityBlast scores (past the men's games which haven't started yet) feels like a deliberate choice #cricket #BBC #EverydaySexism

B&Q can fuck right off. No hiding behind it being a third party item, they chose to stock that product and there will have been procedures in place that select which third party items to stock. It's at least one somebody's entire job to do so. Do better. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/b-q-sexist-advertisement-shelf-cabinet-b2759037.html I might need a new bathroom light (if I can't find a replacement for a broken shade). It now definitely won't be coming from B&Q. #EverydaySexism

A young lass working in the village shop was chatting to a lad about her first #car, she didn't want a #Fiat500 as she feared being bullied on the roads. A sad indictment on #EverydaySexism as in #England these #cars are widely associated with young #female #drivers and its easier to get away with bad / aggressive #driving in the rural areas of #Suffolk where there are fewer police about..

The #UnitedNations Appeals Tribunal this month reversed a previous UN Dispute Tribunal judgment that, astonishingly, justified the actions of the “serial kisser” because they occurred in a festive context. The testimony of the victims is horrifying - and it's taken eight years for this ruling.

Women are often told to shrug things off but this type of behaviour rarely happens in isolation.
Every time you hear about a man killing a woman – they almost always have a history of sexual misconduct. -
Today in #EveryDaySexism:
Wildlife monitoring technologies in a forest in northern India are being misused by local government & male villagers to spy on women & stop them collecting natural resources despite it being their legal right to do so.

I posted my scathing post about the Nobel prize https://hachyderm.io/@chx/113272153511607297 to Hckrnews. Here it got 20 retoots and 21 favorites, that's a lot for my posts there. Over there it got one upvote initially then it was downvoted and flagged. The sexist tech bros do not like criticism.

So they gave the Nobel Physics prize to AI bros before honoring another woman. Five women were ever honored so and 221 men.
This is your regular reminder Wikipedia refused an attempt to create a page for Donna Strickland with "This submission’s references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article" not half a year before she became a Nobel laureate. Katalin Kariko's page was not created until April 27, 2020.

Seriously considering running for parliament with only 1 item on my agenda: the mandatory installment of female friendly public bathrooms within every square kilometer in the country. 😤
