"I Thought You Were The Dad": 57 Women Share The Most Unhinged Ways They Practice Micro Feminism

Anytime someone says “the US team could win this year!” (In regards to the World Cup), I say haven't we won like 4 times? And when they say no i say “oh you must be talking about the men's team”

When a dad brings his kid into our clinic and doesn’t know their DOB or why they’re there I casually laugh and say “oh my bad I thought you were the Dad, sorry!” You should see their faces 🤭

I’m a nurse and I say, “Your body, your choice” to male patients every opportunity I can.

Male patient doesn’t want medicine…”Your body, your choice.”

Male patient says they want to leave AMA…”Your body, your choice.”

The list goes on…😂

Tell men not to get testerical when they’re upset.

I don’t flick off men in traffic, I give them a thumbs down. It creates disappointment vibes instead of anger. Many are really surprised 😳

I interrupt interrupters in meetings a la “Hang on just a second, Gary. I think we should finish hearing what Cathy had to say.”

When someone says “he helps with the kids,” I say, “You mean he parents his children?”

I don’t move out of the way of men. I just stop in my tracks and wait for them to go around.

Recently at the grocery store a man crashed into my grocery cart because I stopped instead of moved and I guess he was that confident that I was going to haul my big old cart out of his way that he literally walked right into it.

Oh and my favorite way to address an angry man is to tell them there is no need to be so emotional. They hate that.

I try to actively use the word “women” for anyone 18 and older instead of “girls.” Guys are automatically “men” in print and elsewhere when they turn 18 (and even younger). We deserve the same respect.

Not supporting cruel to women religions even if my opinion is not popular and ppl will block me everywhere

if my delivery person is a woman, i wait for her to get inside her car and drive off before i go back upstairs.

My husband and I are both Veteran's. But whenever we're asked "Who's the Veteran?" My husband always says "she is."

Using the term "workforce" instead of "manpower", human kind instead of "man kind". Language goes a long way.

Always correcting a man when he uses the word “female” instead of “woman”.

Anytime any man Tries to refer to any other man in any sport as the greatest athlete of blah blah blah, I mention Serena Williams, as in “yeah, but he’s no Serena Williams”

Replacing 'Sorry to bother you' with 'Thank you for your time' or 'Thanks for your patience' in emails. It subtly shifts the dynamic from apologizing for occupying space to assuming mutual professional respect

When building a healthcare related website I made sure all the doctor stock photos were women doctors.

I’m a teacher and whenever I need to move something I ask if any of my strong girls can help

Whenever a woman apologizes to me for “being in the way”, for instance if I say excuse me in a grocery store and they say sorry, I always tell them “Girl, never apologize for taking up space. We do that way too often as women.” most of the time I get a response of something like, “You know what?! You’re right!” It’s like my fun, little, feminism pass it on game!

I don't stop talking when someone talks over me. Sometimes I put my hand up as I finish. Then I politely yield the floor to the interrupter.
