“When doing my apprenticeship in Carpentry, my supervisors would refuse me use of power tools, before handing them to a less-qualified-than-me male. Also, when buying cars/building supplies with a male friend present, the salesmen will refuse to acknowledge me. Too bad, I'm the one with the money mat…”— Yufraxitr, reddit.com
“At a former job, a male coworker would spend time in every conversation we had just staring at my boobs. He'd either talk to them for a while (instead of making eye contact) or take a space break at the end and mutely look.

“When me and the SO were buying a new tv and on a separate occasion a laptop, I had a list of specs and things I wanted at minimum and things I didn't care for.

“Women can't handle technology. I'm not an expert by any means, but whenever I have an IT issue I can't even finish explaining it before I'm dismissed by the tech guy. Most recently, my laptop charger broke. I went to the store, bought a new one, cost me 15e. My boyfriend has the exact same laptop, r…”— PurrPrinThom, reddit.com
“My ex and I were both very religious so had no sex before marriage and saw all kinds of signs that God had brought us together.!
