Women have fought a long and hard battle to be seen and heard in the world. Gone are the days of the “fairer sex” accepting being “less than”. Yet, you’ll still find people spewing all sorts of discrimination, hatred and utter rubbish about girls and women. New research also shows a widening gap between young men and women in their attitudes towards gender equality.
A community called Not How Girls Work is fighting the good fight. Calling out clueless misogynists is the hill they’re willing to die on. With more than 759 thousand members, it’s “a place to laugh at all those clueless to how girls work.” The community refuses to give publicity to podcasts, tweets or public figures “who make a profit or following off of intentionally disparaging women online/in media”. But they won’t think twice about clapping back at someone who needs schooling on how not to be sexist. Keep scrolling for our favorite examples of misogynists being put on their place.

Social media is creating a breeding ground for misogynistic thoughts and behavior. And some young guys are being groomed into following the “cult” unknowingly. Researchers say extreme posts are being amplified by algorithms. It’s creating a culture where these ideologies seem like a way of life.
“Harmful views and tropes are now becoming normalized among young people,” said Dr Kaitlyn Regehr, one of the lead researchers. “Online consumption is impacting young people’s offline behaviors, as we see these ideologies moving off screens and into school yards.”

The study was conducted by UCL, the University of Kent and the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL). The team said teens were “micro-dosing” on bad content that plays into their vulnerabilities. To them, it’s seen as entertainment. The researchers added that TikTok algorithms “gamify” harmful content.
