The Life Coach

I would have shouted “No” and kicked his butt! It’s easy!
Dress more like a scientist & men won’t be tempted
Now you know that was a bad mentor/lab/dept. What a great learning experience for you
Choose your battles. Tough it out, focus on the science and you’ll be fine
Why didn’t you speak out at the time?
You go girl! The future is female! Good luck with that
aka Victim Blaming; Free Advice; You Got This
Problem: Demands solutions from the victims
Warning: You may also hear this from women

Tone Police

How rude! Now we must postpone all discussion of your experiences until you can make me feel comfortable
You seem upset. Perhaps you aren’t able to handle rational discourse
If you get angry, they win
The mouth on you! No wonder u got harassed
Name calling is hardly productive, madam
Piling on this guy isn’t helpful. I bet he learned his lesson and was probably misunderstood
Such nasty vitriol! All I did was calmly point out that women are irrational & unfit to do science
aka Civility Patrol; Oh My Delicate Male Ears
Problem: Male comfort is priority #1
Warning: Will call you a b**** eventually

The Gaslighter

Something similar happened to a man once, therefore you didn’t experience sexism.
His intentions were good. It’s a compliment.
He never assaulted women in front of me!
I need to know the exact context or I’ll assume you’ve blown this out of proportion.
He’s just an old-school gentleman from a different culture with a hands-on mentoring style.
Sexism is just an old man problem. When they all retire everything will be better!
If sexism was *that¨common I would have noticed.
And by the way, she’s no saint either.

I haven’t harassed women to my knowledge, where’s my lifetime achievement award
Not all men do bad things! My gf says I'm amazing
In faculty meeting somebody made a sexist remark & I thought to myself "that is so messed up"
Hey did you see we gave a woman an award? Yeah it feels pretty good to do charity
Some workplaces have problems with sexism but my mentees and 1 are BFFs ❤️❤️❤️ #coolboss
If I am pro-women how could my behavior ever be sexist? CHECKMATE
I am interested in being an ally! Someone give me permission please 😄

Himpathy

Too many profs are being fired due to unsubstantiated rumors with no due process!! No I can't NAME any
If we start holding men responsible for their actions, where will it end?
She's just claiming harassment to get ahead, and he is suffering for it
We can't start protecting women until you can prove that nothing bad will ever happen to a man EVER
I'm afraid to work with women now :(
He is really going through a lot, the rules are changing, it's hard out there
Censorship! Why can't I say whatever comes into my mind while everyone walks on eggshells around me
If you keep this up, men will stop hitting on women at work and the human race will go extinct
aka Witch Hunt, Whatabout, Oh the huMANity
Problem: Only men are real to him
Warning: Dangerous when cornered

Sea Lion

Would you answer my endless bad-faith questions, which I could easily google on my own, with a little less attitude please?
If you don’t respond to me, you’re admitting I’m right. If you DO respond to me, this never ends
Pics or it didn’t happen. Statistics or it didn’t happen. Your testimony is unreliable solely because you are female.
Why won’t you repeat all the details of your painful harassment story on demand and post all the evidence?
Is there even evidence that harrassment exists? I mean numbers, not some ANECDOTE
The burden is on you to waste time disproving my wild unsupported claims. Then I'll deny l ever said it. Ready?
aka Just Asking Questions (JAQass), Data Dude

The Mansplainer

Ah, I see you are interested in X, [person who has studied X for 20 years]! I have researched it all morning and it's more complex than you'd think. For instance did you know
No, you didn't technically ask for advice, but a woman stating a fact is a cry for help
Your ideas were debunked years ago by a guy named… I think it starts with an F? Look it up, dummy
I notice you wear makeup. I thought you said you were a feminist. True feminism, you see [is wrong for 5 tweets]
There are many common misconceptions about what actually constitutes 'mansplaining'
I have something better than a degree in your field: a truly logical mind. Weep as I shatter your paradigms
aka Well Actually; You're Welcome; It Is Known
Problem: He's just a soul whose intentions are good

The Prestige

But if we hold him accountable for his actions, his legacy of being given awards will be destroyed
He's essential to his field. He's a genius. I have never heard of YOU
Any system that rewards me is by definition a meritocracy. If women want to get ahead they can buckle down and do way more work than me
Great men can't be shackled by ethics
Women love to rub their degrees in our faces — so tacky. A well-tailored suit tells you all you need to know about my qualifications
Dealing with sexism would distract from my important work. It doesn't affect me, and working on it won't impress other men
Who's complaining? oh, HER 🙄
aka Great Man Syndrome; Look Here Miss; The D List
Problem: Your colleagues want to impress him

Trolls, Creeps & Fools

your to ugly too sexualy harrass
your so hot he couldnt help himself
[jokingly does the exact fucking thing the woman is talking about ] Get it?? 😜
[overt sexist racist queerphobic nonsense]
When will your chart of WOMEN be released? #equity #bothsides
You girls bitch about someone complimenting your ass while our country is literally exploding. Typical
Anyone who says I'm mansplaining is gaslighting. Anyone who says I'm gaslighting is sealioning
The word “troll” has lost all meaning. I get called a troll on here like 40 times a day
I'm offended, you #@*&%^&@$#!%
aka [misspell his name — they hate that]
Problem: Covert misogyny just wasn't enough
Warning: Not as nice as he seems
