What It Would Look Like If Men Were Insulted Like Women [View all]

When men are treated like women, it's easy to see the subtle sexism women face every day.

BuzzFeed reveals this everyday sexism in a new video called "If Men Got Insulted Like Women." The video flips insults that are often aimed at women, on men.

Instead of a man telling a woman"Go make me a sandwich," we watch a woman tell a man to "Go grill me a burger." “No one takes the hot girl at work seriously," becomes “No one takes the hot guy at work seriously." And, “You would actually be pretty if you just put in some effort" turns into “You would actually be handsome if you just put in some effort.”

The results reveal just how subtle and pervasive sexism can be -- and how terrible these sorts of comments are for everyone.
