Gen Zer goes viral for asking advice on how to handle sexism when selling cars

A young Aussie is going viral for practicing her comeback to any potential sexism she may encounter at her new job.Emily Webb, 25, who has a legion of fans on an adult subscription website, took to social media to share that she’d snagged a job selling cars.She was already preparing for gross comments.“I need to practice my response for when a man is like ‘do you come with the car?’” she said.Webb said she could either laugh and joke, “If only,” or go with “I’m not a f**king object,” and within 24 hours, the video had amassed over 200,000 views.Speaking to news.com.au, Webb said that, although she won’t start her new job until next week, she wants to be prepared.“I haven’t had any sexist comments yet, but I’ve been heavily warned by other women in the industry that it will happen, so be prepared for that,” she said.Webb, who has over 100,000 followers on Instagram, said she’s used to working in the sex industry, so she’s heard it all, but she wants to be prepared.“I know how to take advantage and profit off of being sexualized.So it will be very different working in the car sales industry, where it could be a disadvantage to be sexualized,” she said.“I’m not sure how I’m going to navigate that when it inevitably happens.”People online were quick to share their advice on how she should handle any potential sexism.Someone advised that she should “embarrass” anyone who is sexist towards her and ask them to explain what they mean.Another said she should snap back, “I’m here to raise the car’s value.
