I have one or two male relatives on Facebook with shocking attitudes towards women. I just saw a list that compared a woman to a ship. The first item? "Should be steered by a man." It was meant as humour, of course, but I found it vulgar and distasteful.

My former boss once invited me to a Facebook group full of dirty sexist jokes. The group was basically a safe space for male chauvenists. It made me uncomfortable and I left it.

Why this need to disrespect women? It's bizarre.
