The 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 don’t even feel able to protest. Say as much or as little as you like, use your real name or a pseudonym – it’s up to you. By sharing your story you’re showing the world that sexism does exist, it is faced by women everyday and it is a valid problem to discuss.

If you prefer to e-mail me at laura@everydaysexism.com I can upload your story for you instead. Follow us on Twitter (and submit entries by tweet) at @EverydaySexism.

everyday life, subtle. of course the woman wants/needs/has to get married and of course the man is fighting it.

interesting reads.

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.
