Today, I started a sport journalism degree. I was the only woman out of 60 students. The lecturer started talking about how we should all aspire to become sports editors of national newspapers. Later, he said women have no chance of ever becoming sports editors. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my parents made me quit a school team that I absolutely loved, because women "aren't supposed to play sports." and were worried that if I stayed on the team, I'd develop a manly physique. FML
Today, after complaining that I had nothing to write about in my weekly journal for college, my professor suggested in front of everyone that I should get a girlfriend. FML
Today, I realised being the only female engineering student sucks. I have exactly one friend, because everyone else is too busy staring at my boobs to have a conversation. FML
Today, I went to go to an aerobics class. Shen the instructor walked in, she went up to me and told me it was a women only class. I am a woman. FML
Today, I was denied membership to an all-women's gym. Why? Because "men are not permitted to join". I am and have always been female. FML
Today, my teacher told me that unless I went into medicine, math, or engineering, I would never amount to anything in life. This wasn't even two minutes after I told him I want to be an author. FML
Today, I had to endure my father going on a sexist rant about how women shouldn't be allowed to go to university because it's "unrealistic" since "all women" become stay-at-home mums. This is the same man who threatened to kick me out if I dropped out of uni. FML
Today, I lost my job to a girl that graduated with the same bachelor's degree from the same college as me. She also got a master's in an unrelated field. I've been working there 7 months, and her master's in maths apparently makes her a better athletic trainer than me. FML
Today, I ran for editor-in-chief of a magazine. I spent hours working on my speech, and offered a bunch of new ideas to increase readership. My opponent just said that she, "loved the organization". I lost by a 4-1 margin. My opponent later announced her plans for next year. They were all of my ideas. FML
Today, I was in the newspaper for my soccer accomplishments. It was supposed to be my day in the spotlight. I went home to find out that my little sister had sprained her ankle in P.E. Not only did nobody in my family read the article in the paper, I'm now doing all of my sister's chores. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Or a job on the speed channel. A woman who knows Nascar on TV will capture the hearts of millions. Plus the other race series race in some pretty cool places.

Exactly! NASCAR has some pretty awesome journalists and broadcasters :) speed channel is very pro-women!

Really? I mean really? Was that necessary sexist douche bag? I would bitch about him to someone higher and get his sorry ass out of a professional university. Bitch, please.

Amen. I'm a misogynist, letch, etc. and even that pisses me off! Sounds like he needs a penguin ********. And OP if you see this, you now know he has absolutely nothing of value to teach. Those that can, do. Those who can't, teach.

Sit in the front row and wear very low cut tops. Show him your two chances of getting whatever job you want.

Unfortunately, sports journalism is heavily linked to the male dominated sports world. It's hard for a female to make it and and for people to actually believe that they are there for their skills in journalism and not for their bodies or how they use them to gain an upper hand.

It might be a little harder for us women to get certain male dominated jobs, but work hard, and don't give up. You'll get there. I did :)
