What women don't want: 'You need a good rape'
Telegraph Wonder Women's weekly team-up with The Everyday Sexism Project reveals 10 women's different experiences throughout the week.
Here are 10 accounts by women of all different ages from across the UK that happened in the last seven days:
Last year I lived with two guys who constantly joked about uptight girls "needing a good rape" to relax.
I work in the video games industry but the retail side and I am told at least five times a day I don't know what I'm talking about because I'm an girl.
Random guy leaning out of a car window today shouted comments about my weight saying: "You don't need any more food, love." (I was carrying Waitrose bags)
When I was a student we used to go to a pub where they flatly refused to serve pints to women. If a woman asked for a pint, she was given two halves. They thought women drinking pints lowered the tone.
At work I mentioned to my manager that my friend had applied for a job in the company. His first question was “Is she fit?” shortly followed by: “How big are her boobs?” I hope I wasn't given my job based on the answers to these two questions.
I used to work at a museum where one of the volunteers (an older man) would habitually run his fingers up and down my upper arm as he passed me. I drew the line when, one day, he slapped my bottom with a ruler as I was bent over some shelving to get something.
I work at a library and have recently been told by a man in his sixties that he won't read women writers because they're no good - it doesn't matter what the genre is, even if it is a genre he likes – “women just can't write good books”.
I am a female engineer for an F1 team. We've had women dancing in underwear at end of season party :(
Just came across a 'news' story about Beyoncé having underarm stubble.
The head of my doctoral program once commented to a fellow (male) student that he "knew it was a mistake to take three female (physics doctoral) students on in one year".
The Everyday Sexism Project exists to catalogue instances of sexism experienced by women on a day to day basis. It now has more than 20,000 entries and is set to expand globally. They might be serious or minor, outrageously offensive or so niggling and normalised that women don’t even feel able to protest. By sharing stories, sexism is shown to exist on a daily basis and that it is a valid problem to discuss as opposed to being wrongly referred to as 'banter'.
