Woman Brings Attention To These Micro-Sexist Things That Are So Normalized Many People Don’ t Even Realize It

Jonas Grinevičius and
Justinas Keturka
There are far too many things that society has normalized that are actually sexist and completely unfair (and even outright damaging) to women. That's the lesson that TikTok user Chan wants to teach us in a series of informative videos.

TikToker Chan tackles a host of different issues, from somebody saying that a woman 'has daddy issues' and women facing repercussions at work to how internalized misogyny works. Have a look at Chan's videos and we'd love to hear your take on them, dear Pandas.

Do you agree with everything that Chan has said? Do you know of any other sexist things that are normalized and society tends to mostly ignore? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

TikToker Chan tackled the topic of normalized sexism in a series of viral videos Here s the first one

@chan42911#fyp #sexism #daddyissues #menaintshit #womenssafety #YesDayChallenge #girladvice♬ original sound – Chan Image credits: chan42911 Image credits: chan42911

In another video the TikToker spoke about women in the workplace

@chan42911Reply to @chan42911 bc it didn't post it right the first time #fyp #sexismatwork #sexism #feminism #97percent #misogyny #womeninpolitics♬ original sound – Chan Image credits: chan42911 Image credits: chan42911

While another video still analyzed the important topic of internalized sexism

@chan42911#fyp #internalizedmisogony #sexism #feminism #97percent #womenssafety #bodyempowerment♬ original sound – Chan Image credits: chan42911 Image credits: chan42911

Chan also spoke about how to fight back against misogyny

@chan42911Transition queen or what💪🤠 #fyp #feminism #interalizedmisogny #patriarchy #whatgirlswant #girlssupportgirls♬ I'm So Pretty – chunkymonkeeyy Image credits: chan42911 Image credits: chan42911 TikToker Chan is an activist who takes an active role in a variety of social issues, from helping protect women and fighting for their rights, as well as trying to put an end to racism and supporting people of color. At least that's the impression that we get from her TikTok bio.

One of the greatest weapons in this fight for gender equity is better education. Plenty of people focus only on overt, brash, and in-your-face sexism. However, the reality is very different: sexism exists in a variety of different forms and can affect everyone in very nuanced ways.

For instance, misogyny, also known as the hatred of women, is most often expressed in an openly hostile way. It's when people (most often men) try to show their dominance over women and actively work against them. It's also usually what a large chunk of folks think about when they hear the word 'sexism.' However, according to Medical News Today, other forms of sexism include benevolent sexism where women are framed as being innocent, pure, caring, beautiful, and in need of protection.

This is a more socially 'acceptable' form of sexism that normalizes the view of women as needing help. It can lead to policing women's behavior and taking away their ability to make decisions for themselves.

What's more, sexism can be institutionalized (where it's prevalent in the structures, organizations, and institutions of our society via rules, traditions, and laws), as well as internalized. The latter means that someone accepts these points of view until they fully embrace them and live by them.

So what TikToker Chan has touched upon is just the tip of the iceberg. Nonetheless, without shining a spotlight on these issues, they continue to remain normalized and society won't change.

And here s what people have been saying about Chan s TikToks

Of course there are.

But this woman is disingenuous or dense. Of course there's no daddy's boys, they are called mother's boys.

The whole argument falls short there. It goes downhill from there, with a twisted distorted view of reality, filled with straw man arguments.

Yes, our Western society has a problem with the way women are treated. But this drivel does not help, quite the opposite... 22 22points reply Burs Burs Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 1 year ago The fact that you need to call her dense for talking about how problematic is the idea of women having daddy’s issues says a lot about you.

Yes, men with “mommy issues” exists but that doesn’t invalidate what she said. Also women with daddy issues are often sexualised, often women who enjoy their sexuality are often called like that, implying that the reason why they enjoy sex is a bad relation with their father (and not that sex can be enjoyable).

Claiming misogyny and racism where none exists. I firmly believe that everybody deserves an equal shot at life and nobody should have to live in fear. Where injustice exists, we should be vigilant and stand up to it but all this fake 'victim-claiming' is really grinding me down.

Come on people, we're better than this. How about a thread highlighting the plight of the uyhgur muslims in China or the workers earning 64 cents a day making Beyonce's fashion range instead of this self-indulgent crap?
