Is this sexist? Find out these hidden sexist phrases

We live in very sexist society,

even though it is 2021 it is still sexist. And yes that is right we made it to 2021 so happy new year I really hope we can enjoy this year more than the other year. But how it started I do have to question it, but let's stay positive. Anyways as I said we do still experience sexist even though the society has developed and changed some things are hard to remove from society. Like for example sexism has existed for very long time and it is just hard to remove it from our society. And is something we really need to remove, because it is effecting so many people in bad way. But see with sexism it is not really black and white.

Not everyone intentionally

wants to be sexist and hurt others by being sexist, it can easily be that this person has been taught by society that this is okay and doesn't even realise it is bad for saying. For example this famous saying "You fight like a girl" most of us would not think anything is wrong with it, but it is very sexist saying. This way you are pushing this narrative that women are weak and that is so false.

Women are as strong as men,

but women are strong in other ways and our society choses not to see this other way. So saying this no one should be blamed for not knowing it is wrong when they were taught it is 100% okay to say it, but it is your responsibility to educate yourself. You need to learn from people who are effected by it the most, and in this case are the women. So today I have view phrases and I will be explaining you if it is sexist and if it is why it is sexist. Make sure to comment down below if you want me to do more of these:

No need to think too

much of course it is sexist. So what if a woman is too clingy or too sensitive, this way she shows she cares. As I man you should want this in a woman, not someone who is cold and doesn't show any emotions. Saying women are too clingy is making women feel they should be cold and not show their emotions. Hiding your emotions can't be good for anyone and it just makes women feel very shitty about themselves so don't do it.

So what if a woman

is dedicated to her job. Women do also have goals and motivation to do well in life by themselves. Women are as much hard worker as men are and our society needs to start accepting this. This is very much sexist, assuming every women is sitting at home and saying this you are also assuming women don't work as hard. Instead of saying this, how about you say what a great job you are doing.

This is great example

of non sexist sentence. It is typical that in our society people assume women don't know a lot about sports. But that is so not true, women can be into sports as much as men or even more. It really depends on a person, but I guess this is another way of society bringing women down and making them feel shitty about themselves.

By not saying as a women you know a lot about sports, but just saying you know a lot about sports makes it non sexist and this is how you should be saying. And also for all the men reading this, please don't feel less for telling her she is good at something that men are usually good at. It doesn't mean you are less worthy, but every person has something unique. Don't be afraid to compliment her.

You really don't need to ask,

this is so sexist. Like girls can game too, why do we need to put gender for everything. There are so many games out there, so how can you make it about gender. Everyone likes different things, and girls can play games too and be good at them too. Is this so scare for a woman to be good at games? I mean it is, it means she is a badass but seriously no need to put her down. But see this is a perfect example of society bringing woman down. She can play games without feeling bad about it. Instead of saying this, say wow you are really good at gaming, can you teach me how to game?

This is totally okay to say.

Usually in our society they say she put way too much makeup on or she didn't put enough makeup on. It is always complaining about what she didn't do, but giving nice compliment is of course good. By giving her compliment about her makeup skills and this way making her feel good is of course not sexist. So boys make notes next time you see your girl!

This is not sexist,

because it was said in general about men and women. And it really is like this, most people can't handle a lot of alcohol and he is also not just saying women he is saying everyone. So this way he won't make her feel shitty because he didn't just say women he said everyone. He sees that some people like her can handle a lot of alcohol, but knows most people can't.

This one is little tricky.

So on one side it is not sexist, because you admire her how hard working and strong she is as mother. Usually in our society it is not expected from woman to work as mother. But then on other side it is sexist because it is this narrative that it is impossible for women to work as mothers, making women who either work or not work as mothers feel shitty. Like as a mother who works or not works you can't win, they will always judge you. Instead of focusing on her as mother, how about you focus on her hard work. Say it is amazing how hard working you are. What is your opinion, is this sexist or not?

Very sexist,

as you can see men can experience sexism too. I would say in different way, but still sexism towards men or women totally not okay. Cooking is not just a woman's job, men should be able to cook too. A real man knows that he can make his hands dirty too in the kitchen and not feel insecure about it. Saying this first you can make woman feel shitty because you assume only women belong it kitchen. And on men side, you make them feel shitty for cooking. Instead of saying this, how about you say wow it is great that you like cooking.

Sometime it is not easy

to recognise sexism, so sometimes you really just need to take time to educate yourself and learn what to be aware of. I am not saying only men are sexist, because even though women are most likely going to experience sexism, they can also be sexist towards other women or even men. So all of us need to educate ourselves, it is our responsibility to grow and learn and the best way is to do it together.

I am sure you will probably need

time to take all information in that I just gave you, so fun way to do so is to do this fun quiz to see how well you learned all the information I gave you with this quiz is this sexist. In this quiz you will get similar sentences as in this article, but not the same and you can see how feel you know if something is sexist or not, so you know if you need to learn little bit more.

Hopefully you enjoyed learning this with me and let me know if you want me to continue doing this in the future.

How to stay motivated

hello all dear readers today's article is a follow up on our fitness strategy  ill be giving you a few tips on how to stay motivated through out your life so lets get it started  :

In everyone's fitness journey and in general in life, you will have some phases where you find yourself unmotivated. Right now I sometimes don't feel like working out because it is so cold and in a way depressing. It seems like it always dark outside and this doesn't motivate me at all. But I also know that after working out I will feel much better, so I always try to push myself. For example on first of January as everyone knows it is mostly a lazy day, and I really couldn't bring myself to workout. I was so tired and I just felt like sleeping, but I knew once I started working out this would change. And it really did, after that workout I felt so much better and had much more energy. But it is not so easy to motivate yourself, so here are so tips how to stay motivated:

1- You didn't gain/lose weight in a few weeks to lose it in a few weeks :

Lets get a reality check weight lose/gain won't happen over night. So when you start your fitness or wight lose plan, you can't give up in a few weeks. Because your body will take a while until it fits with the new change ( just keep going). Your body first needs to get used to it, until it can start losing or gaining weight. But because the progress won't happen over night, your main goal should never be to lose weight, instead make a goal to get strong and fit it is way better. It is great to see results, but don't focus too much on numbers.

2- Don't look for fast fix solutions :

You can do a crash diet every now and then but that can't be the bases of your health plan as all the fast fix results you will get, you will lose just as fast and the consensuses can be brutal. If you do fast diet, you will eventually go back to eating you usual food and then your weight will go back. Instead try to balance the food and get used to eating this forever. Don't have mindset to just eat it for a while. Have a mindset to eat it forever. So in this case you will find alternatives that you like eating and you will be able to eat little bit unhealthy food. This way you won't shock your body by changing your eating habits to your usual food and therefore you won't risk gaining or losing the weight back. The food is not the problem, your habits are so just adjust them!

3- constancy is key :

Your fitness journey should be a long term and not a short term. You need to think about it as if you are going to do it for long time. Knowing you will keep doing it for long time, will motivate you much more. Not having an end date is a key to motivation. But not only that, you need to keep doing it, not saying I can just not do it one day. By being consistent, your motivation will rise and this will become a habit. When something becomes your habit, you in a way automatically do it without thinking too much about it.

4- no good dead goes unpunished :

Working out and staying healthy is really not just for your body. Its is also for your brain and for your mental health as well. You will be more in control of yourself and feelings, and you will be able to run your life better , so its more than worth it don't you think. Knowing how much benefit you get from working out, will motivate you to workout. Having peace within yourself after workout and being able to control your emotions and your feelings is so amazing. Knowing that when you are unmotivated and having bad day and then working out will turn your day around and you will be much better. This mindset always keeps me going.

5- Love you :

You may not be in a place that you want to be in right this moment , but you will get there eventually. Your hard work will pay off as long as you don't stop. Everyone is different, and for you to make your goals come true, you must love you and love where you are. From where you are you will learn how to be a better you. Having that unconditional love for yourself, will keep you motivated and will make anything happen. Believing in yourself and just keep going is something so powerful, so just keep that in your mind.

Highlight how far you have come:

I don't know about you, but seeing how far I have come can really motivate me. Great way to motivate yourself is to make a plan. Make a workout plan with squares and after every workout check one square of the plan and you can visually see how far you come. Knowing you did 100 compare to last year which was only 10 can really give you motivation. Just keep working hard

Now that we talked about workout it is only far that I give you view ideas for workouts. I have many more planned just stay tune!

High knee ups: 20 seconds

Squats: for beginners 30 squats/ 5 rounds, for people in between 10 days of 30 squats and for advanced 15 rounds of 30 squats

Burpees: 15 burpees

Clothing items to wear to boost your confidence

Confidence is something so many

struggle and it really is hard to know where to begin. I do think that everyone should boost their confidence by themselves. You shouldn't be using something else to boost confidence, because if you do so your confidence will always be depended on it. For example if you boost confidence by having hot boyfriend, if he breaks up with you, your confidence is gone. You shouldn't be building your confidence with expensive clothing as well, because you will only feel confident because of this expensive clothing, and it won't truly come from you.

So you for sure should work on building

it yourself, but it takes time and little help won't hurt you am I right. For example I am someone who has always been confident in myself, but wearing certain clothing item can make me even more confident and I feel this can help even people who are not confident. The more often you wear this clothes, the more often you will feel confident and therefore eventually it will turn into always feeling this, because you will be tricking your mind. Being confident is all in your mind, so in order to be more confident you need to wear and do more things that make you feel this way. So here are view clothing items that make me feel confident and I am sure will do the same for you, but of course we are different so it might not.

Leather jacket:

I am so obsessed with leather jacket. It gives me very much badass vibe. It gives me the feeling that I can take over the world and no one can do anything about it. I try to wear leather jacket as much as possible, that is why I sometimes tend to wear leather jacket in freezing winter. I just can't describe how amazing I feel wearing so I sometimes will go through the pain of being cold just for that. If I have first date with you or even just a date, I am probably wearing leather jacket, at least I won't be wearing much makeup because I feel badass just by wearing leather jacket. Pro tips for my ladies if you wear leather jacket in winter for a date, he will probably end up giving you his jacket and that is of course a plus.

Ankle boots:

I don't what is it, but I feel it doesn't matter what I wear, it will look good with ankle boots. They are very classy peace and they can also be edgy at the same time if they are leather of course. I always feel good wearing ankle boots I really don't know why, I guess but they look good with anything.

Metallic skinny jeans:

Not only do this jeans make your legs look so amazing, but it gives powerful woman vibes. When I see these jeans I think about woman who runs her own empire, so when I wear these jeans I feel the same. I feel so powerful and confident no one can bring me down. I only own these kind of jeans and I have like 100 of these and love them so much. Also another plus they are so comfortable. You can style them in so many different ways.

Skater skirt:

Because skater skirt is wide, it can fly at any time so it already give you confidence enough. It is such a classy peace to wear and you can style this skirt in so many ways. I love wearing skater skirt with a flannel it gives me very much a girly vibe, or if I feel to be more elegant I style it with a blazer. This skirt really makes me feel special and I feel so good wearing it.

Velvet Blazer:

Velvet Blazer is very unique item to own, but totally a must. Because it is velvet it make any outfit look elegant. Wearing it gives me very much girl boss vibes and just such a great feeling. Like look at me I am on my way to my big ass office because I am killing at being a boss. Great way to wear this blazer is with very simply dress or with pair of elegant trousers.

Leather shirt:

I recently bought leather

shirt and let me tell you it does wonders for me. If I am not feeling my outfit I just add this shirt to my outfit and I am feeling much better and even better if I add my red lipstick. It is edgy and classy at the same time. It gives me badass girl vibe and every time I wear it I feel I can take over the world.
So here we go, what do you think? Do you feel the same way about this clothing items as I do? Do you have more confidence wearing them?

I am sharing this to inspire

you and give you some ideas, but of course something that makes me feel good, doesn't mean it will do the same for you. You got to be aware what item makes you feel good and that one you should be wearing. It is about finding you own items, but with this I hope you inspire you and motivate you. What you wear can really influence how you feel so try being aware of it.
While we are talking about confidence, I made I quiz so you guys can test how confident you are. Building up confidence is a long journey, but it is also important to know where we stand, so we can know what areas to improve.
When you are done with the quiz, make sure to comment your results.

Sassy comebacks to sexist compliments

As a woman in our society

you used to sexist compliments. You know which compliments I mean, the sexually objectified compliments that are not needed. These compliments are more harmful than anything else. It can make a woman question her worth, and have big issues around herself and her body. No one should feel shitty about themselves, but you usually do when you hear sexist compliments.

The woman feels that

her worth is in her body. So because of her body she is enough otherwise she wouldn't be. It can make anyone feel insecure when others only see their body. But it is no common in our society for men to feel they need to give us sexist compliments because men have been taught by society that they own women and that only use women have in their body. Our society talks about women like women are objects so men can meet their needs or make children. So of course men will feel they are only good because of their bodies. But I will tell you now and forever it is a bullshit. You are much more than just your body. You are enough even if you don't have babies.

When you get this sexist compliments just not, you are much more. These compliments don't define you and shouldn't let them ruin your image about yourself. But now the big question is what are the best comeback for these sexist compliments

1: Women being angry

Him:You're cute when you're angry

Her: I don't think it's a great idea to minimise my emotions right after you've pissed me off.

There is a reason someone is angry. Yes it might be silly for you, but you should never make someone feel that their emotions are not valid. It can make anyone feel they shouldn't show their emotions, which will just lead to pressing their emotions and that is never good idea.

2: Opinion on women wearing makeup

Him: I like that you don't wear a lot of makeup

Her: I love how you think that your opinion on what I apply on my face and how much, is a compliment or even important enough to be spoken out loud.

Seriously a woman can do whatever she wants to with her face. If you think a woman is putting makeup for you, you have no idea. We women we put makeup because we enjoy it. We put makeup on because we want to feel good for ourselves. I really don't care what you prefer, it is my face so the only opinion that matters is mine.

3: Girls knowing a lot about sports

Him:It's so amazing to see a girl know so much about sports.

Her: It's amazing to see a man who still believes in the stereotype that only men can be into sports. Newsflash: Girls are humans and humans have different about interests!

Seriously so many women are into sports. Things don't have genders. You can like football and be a woman. You can like dance and be a man. It really depends on the person, and it also doesn't mean they are gay or lesbian. It has more to do with interests than anything else, and it really should be this way. Stop focusing on stupid stereotypes, they mean nothing.

4: Being smart as a woman

Him: You've got beauty and brains!

Her: Could you share the research paper that proves how these are mutually exclusive traits?

What women can't be smart? Or what when you look good which to be honest all of us do you can't be smart. So then I guess no one can be smart when you think like this. It is stupid especially the stereotype hat suggest that women are beauty so they have no brain. Like what? This is not true, women are very smart and have many skills. Many studies prove that women can indeed be better leaders and much more. It is our society that needs women to stay back, but seriously it is not okay. We should strive too!

5: Opinion on woman not trying too hard

Him: I love how yo don't try too hard like other girls.

Her: I wish I could be half as awesome as the girls I admire and I wish you could get a fraction of our sensibility

What is wrong with trying too hard? To be killing at your life, at your career and at your relationship. Why is a woman who is doing the most, seen as something bad. Woman who is doing the most should be attractive, but I guess for insecure men it is just opposite. Get over it, women can be hard workers too.

6: About jokes

Him: You're great, most girls don't know how to take a joke.

Her: So you mean nobody else takes your sexism for humour and lets it slide? I guess that's the sign I needed. Boy bye!

I don't know, but if no one would laugh at my jokes I would rethink them. I would think ooh maybe I should stop with them, or ask them what is wrong with them. Be aware of what you are saying, when your jokes are hurting others, there are not jokes anymore.

Of course girls

won't take it lightly when you are disrespectful towards them. Learn that sexism is not something good or cool. When you are being sexist you are seen as uneducated and rude. Sexism is not something to be proud of so stop doing it.

Remember it not

about putting him down, but putting him in his place. Hearing sexist compliments and just ignoring them won't do you any good babe. It is good for you to express how you feel. Giving them these sassy comebacks, will do that for you.

If you ignore them,

you will just get angry for not saying anything. And then it will just keep going and going every time you get sexist compliments and you know that happens away too often. Do you really want to let yourself? Why would you let disrespectful men get away with it. It is not right. By saying something you are educating them, but also helping yourself not go into dark place. It really can effect you, so this is why it is important. Why are you protecting him while you are suffering. You should always come first. I know you can do it, so do it. Read this as much as possible and save it in your phone in case you forget.

Take a quiz to see how sexist you are

How to live your best life

I feel all of us guilty of this,

we tend to focus on unimportant things and don't really enjoy the life. We have to remind ourselves that we have to enjoy life and the now we have won't last forever. As humans it is natural that we stress ourselves, because of the stupidest things, but it is not doing us any good. Instead of focusing on something that probably won't matter in a day or even in two hours, better enjoy your life. For example enjoy the moments with your friends and be 100% present. If you focus all your energy on the bad things, the bad things will keep coming and coming. If you focus on good things well more good things will come your way it is simple. So many of us tend to focus our entire lives on the wrong things, and then we end up regretting this, let's stop this. Let's focus on what makes us happy and what we enjoy. So here are view tips how to start enjoying your life:

How to live your best life step 1:

-Stop dwelling on the past:

I always see the past as a blessing and not something to dwell on or to feel sorry about. You need to think about everything you experienced in the past as a lesson and as part of becoming who you are today. If you only focus on the negative parts, you won't be able to move forward. If you are only seeing your past as negative, how do you justify all the good things that came with it? I am sure if you dive deep and think more you will realise all the good things that came with it and I can assure you there are probably more good things that came with it than bad. So let's stop playing the victims. Use the past as something to take from, something you can learn and reflect on. Talk about it and heal from it, but then move on from it in a positive way. This way you will be able to move forward and be able to enjoy your life.

How to live your best life step 2:

-Stop with Comparison:

No matter who you are as a person, at some point in your life your probably compared yourself to others. For example I used to obsessively compare myself to my twin sister, and think back it is ridiculous because we are two completely different people. It is our nature to do this, but you got to stop it. I get it, in a way we are taught to do so by our society, but you got to stop it. You are just hurting yourself. Instead of comparing yourself how about you admire something about yourself and others. How about you admire unique qualities you have and also admire unique qualities other people have. Enjoy the diversity, and know we are all amazing and there is no need for competition. Comparing yourself to others will just stop you from living your life. Judging yourself from not being the same way someone else is, will put you in a bad head space. It is impossible to be someone else, you are you for a reasons so embrace it.

How to live your best life step 3:

-Stop focusing on the wrong things:

As I mention we tend to focus on the wrong things. We stress out about something that won't even matter for long time. When you are stressed out about something take a deep breath and ask yourself this question: will this bother me tomorrow or next week? most of times the answer will be no, so then at that moment just say to yourself well then stop stressing out. I feel most of us don't want to stress out, but then we end up anyways doing it, but if you tell yourself to stop it, it might work. And I feel this method with knowing it won't anyways matter tomorrow also might be helpful. We really tend to focus on the wrong things for no reason, so we really need to stop it.

How to live your best life step 4:

-Accept yourself:

Trying to be someone else and not accepting yourself is not good for anyone. You have to remember you are you and you can't change that. Your weird and unique ways is what makes you, you and you don't have to change that. The most beautiful thing you can do to yourself is to be yourself and 100% accept who you are. Knowing no one is perfect, but that is what makes you and everyone else beautiful will help you accept yourself. You have to stop thinking that being you is not cool, you are the way you are fro a reason so stop trying to change that. Loving who you are is going to make your life so much more beautiful.

How to live your best life step 5:

-Live in the moment:

Remember now is all we have and we will never get it back, so live in the moment and enjoy every second of it. Be present when someone is talking to you, be present with things you are doing and experiencing. Be aware of every little detail that you are experiencing, because this is what I call truly living your best life.

In the world so many things are going on, so our focus can shift quickly, but we really need to remember to be present. We need to start focusing on beautiful and happy things in our lives. I am not saying forget about your struggles and worries, but I would say work through them and move forward so you can focus on more positive things in your life. Just make the best out of your life and enjoy the beautiful moments and focus on that. Do more things that make you happy, because this is how you truly can live your life!
