Just when we think we’ve come far in our fight for equality, some sexist idiot rears their ugly head. Warped ideals, statements and posts aren’t always blatant. Sometimes they're hiding in plain sight. Masquerading as totally normal and acceptable in society. Some people aren’t even aware that their comments and actions are sexist.
Thankfully, there’s an online community that makes it their business to call out people and things that need schooling. The subreddit r/TrollXChromosomes has amassed over 835,000 members since its inception in 2011. It’s a place for “rage comics and other memes with a girly slant.”
For the past few weeks and months, we have been subjected to some crazy sexist posts on social media. So we found it fitting to put together a list of pics from the TrollXChromosomes community. Just in case anyone needed a reminder to sit down, shut up and listen. Many of them deal with covert sexism. Things that are still blatantly accepted but really shouldn’t be. Keep scrolling and don’t forget to upvote the ones that stand out for you. As a bonus, Bored Panda has included some info on jobs that are closing the gender gap in 2025. You’ll find that between the pics.

If you want to see blatant sexism, look no further than the workplace. In particular, payrolls. And the positions held by women versus men. A 2023 Pew Research Center study found that American women typically earn 82 cents for every dollar men earn. While we still have a long road to walk, the experts at online career platform Resume Genius believe progress has been made over the past decade.
The company recently released its 2025 Highest-Paying, Women-Led Careers Report. The researchers used data from the Women’s Bureau and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics to arrive at a list of 10 careers where the gender pay gap has narrowed the most between 2014 and 2024. More on the contents of that report a bit further down...

The International Labour Organization (ILO) estimates that women across the world are paid about 20% less than men. And according to data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), South Korea, Israel, Latvia, Japan, Cyprus, and Estonia are among the developed countries that have gender wage gaps above the global average. The U.S., Canada, Finland, and France each have a wage gap of 15% or more.

Online career resource platform Resume Genius released its 2025 Highest-Paying, Women-Led Careers Report in March. It includes a list of 10 jobs or careers that have shown the most improvement in closing the gender pay gap over the past decade.
According to the Pew Research Center, American women typically earned 82 cents for every dollar a man earned in 2023. But Resume Genius says female marketing managers are almost on par with their male counterparts when it comes to earnings. The gender pay gap for this role has improved by more than 25% since 2014. Back then, women earned 71 cents for every dollar earned by men. In 2024, the figure stood at 91c for every dollar. Furthermore, 61% of marketing manager positions are held by women. And the average annual salary is around $85,327.

Women working in the Human Resource sector are also making good strides. HR staff (not managers) closed the gender pay gap by 21.1% over the past decade. They make, on average, 94 cents for every dollar their male counterparts earn. The figure stood at 73 cents in 2014. Though things look different for female HR managers, who only earn 79 cents for every dollar the guys earn.
