   Hi there, if you are a girl then nobody should be telling sexist jokes to a child!! Report this to your teacher or neareswt responsible adult.
   If however you are a woman, adult, responsible, you should try and see wgat they they intend with their comments.
   Are they trying to humiliate you? Bully you? Make you feel unsafe? If so then first try telling them that theirt comments make you uncomfortable and ask them to stop. If they fail to stop after you have made it clear that you find their ‘jokes’ unacceptable then you must take it further.
   Start an ‘abuse book’ and document all comments, leers, and note the time and the person who said it. Then hand this in to the personnel dept (human resources), it all has to be documented.
   But you do yourself no favours by referring to yourself as a child, or are the people coming out with the ‘jokes’ boys? Because if they are only lads then their fear of adult sexuality will often make them spew out sexist drivel.

   Well, if I heard a joke that was degrading to women (I’m a girl too), but it was funny, I would laugh. I think people need to learn to not take everything so seriously. But, if it offends you, then tell the person please not to make jokes like that any more around you, because it bothers you.

   be like thats not funny….
   men always have thought they were the superior sex…
   and they still do…. not all of them women need to end this and not take stupid bs like jokes (the realest things come in jokes)
   when ppl cant say it straight forward they say it in a joke

   Ignore them is the best choice you can make and fighting back will spark an angry reaction from others. If this happens when you are exercising bring an Ipod with you, so you can listen to the songs instead of dumb comments.

   Research jokes that are degrading to men. Everytime you hear one that is degrading to woman just tell one that is degrading to men.

   Look deep jokes are just that jokes they don’t mean anything don’t feel degraded just look past that and look for the humor the person was trying to reach.

   the thing is, they are jokes
   unless the person is actually being serious behind them, just laugh it off

   Depends if your offended or not. If you are, tell them. If not, then no worries.
