I would also add one more to this:

9) Say nothing: Sometimes it’s better to remain quiet, observe and let the other person dig their own grave. Often times when someone thinks you’re a good listener they’re more likely to keep talking and reveal their true intentions.

When faced with gross sexism or threats: "I don't understand what you mean, could you explain it to me?"

millennialpink2000 · 2022-03-13T04:14:05+00:00

I'll add: "Why are you talking to me like I have a head injury?"

Speaking from personal experience, whenever I try to use these with the LVM men in my family, it never works. These statements only work when I’m talking to men with a modicum of decency.

9) “Don’t touch me.”

I learned recently this one: "do I seem interested in talking to you? then stop." making them actually acknowledge they're ignoring our body language/obvious hints/signs we arent interested and they're consciously ignoring that.

“Do you speak to men like that?”

“Would you appreciate a (insert age here, works especially well on old men) year old man calling you sweetie/honey/baby?”

For disguisting jokes etc. the best strategy is pretending you don't understand. Then they either have to explain it in really gross way or get embarassed instantly because they don't want to explain it as it is gross.

One I just introduced into my vernacular today: I'm done with this conversation. Have a good day (turn and walk away)

> 2) no

Very international one. If he doesn't speak English, he should at least know what this one means.

9) Fuck off

Very helpful. I just used #1 while talking to my father. He is a narcissist and gets overly excited when talking, he starts to raise his voice and talk over you when he's not even upset. If I continue talking he won't stop but when i said that sentence it worked.
