If you’re a woman
and building a business,
you WILL deal
with sexist trolls.
Heck, if you’re a woman
and doing anything,
you will deal with them.
And if you have daughters,
they will deal with them also.
I receive sexist comments
from trolls
on client k
all the time.
It is one of the reasons
I have comment moderating on.
If they’re not alarmingly personal,
I delete them
and move on.
If they are alarmingly personal,
I contact the police.
Others deal with them
with humor.
“I skied back to the Pole again …
to take this photo
for all those men
who commented
‘Make me a sandwich’
on my TEDX Talk.
I made you a sandwich
(ham & cheese),
now ski 37 days
and 600km
to the South Pole
and you can eat it xx.”
She’s 16, a child,
and she’s receiving these sexist comments.
If you’re a woman,
you’ll receive them too.
Be cautious
but don’t let the comments stop you.
