#1: The Life Coach
I would have shouted "NO" and kicked his butt!
It's easy!
Dress more like a scientist & men won't be tempted
Now you know that was a bad mentor/lab/dept.
What a great learning experience for you
Choose your battles. Tough it out, focus on the science and you'll be fine
Why didn't you speak out at the time?
You go girl! The future is female! Good luck with that
aka Victim Blaming; Free Advice; You Got This
Problem: Demands solutions from the victims
Warning: You may also hear this from women
What he should do: Stop replying, start listening

#2: The Tone Police

How rude! Now we must postpone all discussion of your experiences until you can make me feel comfortable.
You seem upset. Perhaps you aren't able to handle rational discourse.
If you get angry, they win.
The mouth on you! No wonder u got harassed.
Name calling is hardly productive, madam.
Piling on this guy isn't helpful. I bet he learned his lesson and was probably misunderstood.
Such nasty vitriol! All I did was calmly point out that women are irrational & unfit to do science.
aka Civility Patrol; Oh My Delicate Male Ears
Problem: Male comfort is priority #1
Warning: Will call you a b**** eventually

#3: The Gaslighter

Something similar happened to a man once, therefore you didn't experience sexism.
His INTENTIONS were good. It's a compliment.
He never assaulted women in front of me! I need to know the exact context or I'II assume you've blown this out of proportion.
He's just an old-school gentleman from a different culture with a hands-on mentoring style.
Sexism is just an old man problem. When they all retire everything will be better!
If sexism was *that* common I would have noticed.
And by the way, she's no saint either.
aka The Male Interpreter; Manecdotes; Walk It Off.
Problem: It's not that bad. And if it is, you deserve it.
Warning: He's already decided to ignore your response.

#4: Cookie Manster
I haven't harassed women to my knowledge, where's my lifetime achievement award?
Not all men do bad things! My gf says I'm amazing.
In faculty meeting somebody made a sexist remark & I thought to myself "that is so messed up".
Hey did you see we gave a woman an award? Yeah it feels pretty good to do charity.
Some workplaces have problems with sexism but my mentees and I are BFFs #coolboss
If I am pro-women how could my behavior ever be sexist? CHECKMATE
I am interested in being an ally! Someone give me permission please.
aka #notallmen; | Love Women; Mommy Look!
Problem: It's not about you, buddy
Warning: All talk, no action
