Sexism

I donโ€™t want to put my story on this site, as I think that is a space better used for womenโ€™s stories as they receive the principal harm from sexism, but it reminded me of a potluck dinner I attended at a job a few years ago.

Iโ€™d made lasagna, and the lasagna I make is damn good.

I brought it in and more than one person (and one of whom was a woman, too) said, โ€œThis is really good. Did your girlfriend make this? Who made this for you?โ€

This is after Iโ€™d already told everyone that I made the lasagna. Because of course itโ€™s impossible for a man to cook something tasty with no female assistanceโ€ฆ.
