Twitter EXPLODES as women share their own experiences of sexism

A group on Twitter called EverydaySexism have created a hashtag in order to give a voice to women who suffered sexism, sexual harassment, sexual discrimination or sexual violence as minors, and it is blowing UP the internet today.

#WhenIWas allows women to recall a moment in their childhood or adolescence when they were victimised on account of their sex, and us ladies are getting involved in our thousands.

Here are just some of the times women like you and me were forced to 'accept' the unacceptable.

Take a look, but prepare to feel very, very angry.
