Related: About this forumThe Everyday Sexism Project
The Everyday Sexism Project exists to catalogue instances of sexism experienced by women on a day to day basis. They might be serious or minor, outrageously offensive or so niggling and normalised that you dont even feel able to protest. Say as much or as little as you like, use your real name or a pseudonym its up to you. By sharing your story youre showing the world that sexism does exist, it is faced by women everyday and it is a valid problem to discuss.

My sons school phoned my work to say that my child had been injured and required possible hospital treatment, I told my boss I had to leave, she said "Why? Isn't that your wife's job?"

And a woman boss, no less.
