What sexism have you experienced personally? (male & female)

The constant debate over the length of young girl's skirt is so bewildering.
I'm not from the UK, here uniforms were withdrawn from schools a few years ago so the way children dress is up to "common sense".
However common sense means, that when it's spring girls wear skirts or short and boys wear shorts as well. If any of them can't concentrate on learning because of other's attire there is something wrong with them.
(Btw. do boys and girls have Physical Education together in the UK? )

I've never heard of anyone being sent home for inappropriate attire. Once a girl from my class was asked to stay after the lesson has ended. She wore a t-shirt with bigger than usual cleavage that day, so the teacher asked her to rethink her clothing, nothing more.

Welp, never experienced sexism on any scale like the ones I've seen on this thread - or expressed by some of the users here who are whining over how skirts above the knee are "inappropriate". Counting my blessings.

We aren't referring to simply above the knee, surely you agree that there is a reasonable limit of decency?

not really sexist but more stereotypical. so I'm blonde and i wear heels and makeup,(basically i like to look good, and not necessarily 'academic' and I walked into this debating competiton and all the other people in there (men and women) stared me up and down, looked at each other, and just sort of rolled their eyes and sniggered, because I don't necessarily look like I'm good at the sort of thing, but when i whooped their asses the look on their faces kinda made up for it *hair flick*

Well sure, if the skirt line ends half way through the buttcheek, then I suppose it's indecent having your underwear out

But i don't think that's what the girl in question was wearing.

So you are stereotyping the academic look?

Are you going to ignore the fact you were there for a debate not a fashion show, you would look far more persuasive if you looked "academic".

But this is made up anyway for rep so

actually no I didnt mean to stereotype academic looks, I'm just saying I wasn't really the same as the other people there. And i can assure you that this isnt made up, so don't assume that it is

it takes a real man to cry and not care if people see it

The simple fact you cannot use proper grammar seems to prove you did not win any sort of academic debate.

But giving benefit of the doubt; what was the issue you were debating on?

Isn't that saying that men who don't like crying aren't real men?

Look I'm not pretending it was some sort of national competition because it wasn't. I'm not saying that I'm the best debater because I'm definitely not that. I was in a good team(British Parlimentary), and we had a more persuasive argument by working in a team(and if I'm honest we probably has the easier argument) The motion was 'This House believes that National Healthcare should be restricted for overweight people' and we were against the motion.

no but compare a man who isnt afraid to be seen crying to these 'men' who dont cry because their egos get in the way and they think they will be emasculated (yes i know i spelt it wrong) if they are seen crying

And your basic arguments?

I don't think that at all. It isn't really ego that gets in the way of it, it's just that men are different in terms of neurology. Men tend to be a lot more introverted where women are more extroverted. Men will cry around their mates, but usually only very trusted ones.
