As a feminist, what, if anything, do you regard as common examples of sexist microaggressions?
I have encountered some misinterpretation of the term "microaggression" from people who assumed it to be a condemnation of anyone who inadvertently says or does something discriminatory--in this case, sexist--as an "aggressor." I think a thread like this detailing examples of microaggressions from different perspectives could be useful.
Personally, I almost never use the term, because I find that there's often a more or equally accurate way to say what I mean without the risk of misunderstanding I outlined above. However, I'm interested to learn more about some examples of what others apply this term to.
