The Everyday Sexism hashtag is enough to make your blood boil
Realistically, if you are a woman who exists in society, you have probably experienced some form of sexism.
From getting cat called in the street to not being taken seriously because of your gender, sexism is still alive and well, despite society coming on leaps and bounds in the area of women's rights.
Women in the western world have the same rights as men, but for some reason, stigmatic but casual sexism still exists.
Now, one Twitter account is dedicated to exposing these instances under the hashtag #EverydaySexism.
Here are a few prime examples:
10. That "nonexistent" wage gap…
@EverydaySexism Two friends get recruited for the same job. The guy gets pitched £85K per year. The woman gets pitched £70K. #wtf

4. Because if you don't respond to unwanted sexual advances, you're a slut. Logic.
