Subtly Sexist Things “Woke” Men Still Do
Praise you for being so firm “for a woman”
“You’re very firm for a woman,” “You’re good at negotiating for a woman,” “You are very persuasive for a woman,” and “You’re very intimidating for a woman.” Yes, millennial men who should know better say things like that to me. Then they’ll pause and say, “Er, I mean, not for a woman. Just, you know what I mean.” Yes I know what you mean—you made it quite clear.
