These Hilariously Witty Comebacks To Sexist Comments Are Perfect [View all]

http://www.upworthy.com/these-hilariously-witty-comebacks-to-sexist-comments-are-perfect?c=upw1

If you are a living, breathing female of the human species, you have probably (regrettably) experienced some kind of sexual harassment or sexism in your life. Those catcalls, cars honking, and "jokey" one-liners are all a little bit too ... well, how can I put it ... creepy.

The Everyday Sexism Project knows that when it happens to us — and men, too — we feel a mix of fear, shame, and shock, and they also know that it's not a victim's duty or responsibility to shout back. But what about the times where you wish you had an "oooohh you need ice for that burn!" comeback?
