Sexism, bad. But let's keep our heads on straight here.

Just because someone treats you like shit, and you're a woman, doesn't mean it's sexism.

1. Maybe they treat her like shit because she's new, and the feminine stuff is just one reason to rag on her. If she was a tall guy, they'd probably make fun of that too.

2. Maybe they treat her like shit because, for some reason, despite all this, she hasn't actually asked them to stop -- just complained about it on the Internet

A lot of people will get angry at me for this, because sexism is a very real problem.

But not everything is fucking sexism.
