And on the street, very rarely a boy will accept catcalling, while girls face it every day.
Even if the situation get worse and there is physical contact or threat or rape then it is possible that the girl will was asking for it.
The man "wears pants" that's why he's honest and has guts and doesn't whine like a woman. It also drives better because of it and no one tells him to return to his kitchen.
These and many other things women face every day. That's how Laura Bates got the idea to create the Everyday Sexism Project. An online platform where women and men from all over the world write their personal stories and experiences of sexism they have experienced.
Stories that have often not been told because women who accept sexism, are ashamed or afraid or consider them exaggerated and touchy or finally simply not believed.
The impressive thing is that in the Everyday Sexism Project, 50,000 women reported their experiences within 18 months. Since then, dozens of stories reflect the situation every day. Many experiences are shared. Others are beyond imagination. What the project shows is that sexism is constant and happens everywhere. Everything is connected to each other. A word, a gesture, habit, apathy towards such phenomena and finally violence.
Laws exist. They may need improvement, but they are there. It is our attitudes and opinions that must change. We need cultural and social change in our attitudes towards women and violence against women. We are all part of the solution to the problem. Our own behavior, our intolerance of something we will see around us, the boycott of broadcasts or publications that promote sexism, the claim of equality, extroversion is the answer to the reduction and finally the elimination of the phenomenon.
