Why have you ever been insulted by a man? What do you do when this happens? How do you respond to these insults?

2. I ignore it. If he has an issue with me that’s his problem and not mine.

3. Of course I have. Depends on my mood. Most of the time I ignore it. Occasionally I’ll respond back with some pithy comment.

4. Oh yeah loads 😅 depending on who it is and why/ what they’re saying I either let it go or stand my ground…they hate that

5. It depends. I’m still working on being patient so I’m usually quick to insult them worse than they insulted me. It’s an instinct, and I’ve heard it’s entertaining to watch lol

6. Of course I have. If it’s a stranger I usually ignore it and try to get somewhere safe. If it’s someone I know I might address it.

7. I mean, any woman online has been insulted and harassed. I report and block. Online platforms don’t do enough about this though, especially the harassment that turns threatening, sexual, and violent.

8. Is there a woman who has never been insulted by a man? Must be nice if she’s out there.

   Depends on the insult and the situation. Usually I’ll say something condescending or ignore it.
