A woman told she would have got into her chosen college if she had smiled more, a hit-and-run victim who ‘deserved it’ because she was dressed in black, and a scientist asked what she’s wearing after finding a cure for Aids.

These are some of the examples of how sexism sounds when applied to everyday situations featured in a new video.

The tongue-in-cheek footage, by LA-based Girl Pants Production, has been viewed more than 100,000 times, and was posted on YouTube along with the post: ‘You would think that by 2015 gender inequality would be a thing of the past.

A female scientist is asked by a male reporter what she's wearing - after finding a cure for Aids

'Unfortunately, though, it’s not. So we try to tackle it in the only way we know how: by making fun of it endlessly.’

The video begins by highlighting the idea that women are not valued for their brains or personality, but instead for their appearance.

It sees a sketch of a news report where the male presenter is interviewing a woman scientist.

He says: 'Before we talk about how you cured HIV and cancer the viewers are dying to know what are you wearing?'

The clip also comments on the gender pay gap when a woman explains that she doesn't need to borrow a phone charger as her phone is at 77 per cent and for her that's as good as it will get

To which she replies: ‘Er, I’m wearing a lab coat. It’s white.’

Next we see a man rushing to the attention of a hit-and-run victim with a bloodied face who tells him: ‘I was just walking to my car and this guy swerved and hit me and just drove away!’

The man pauses, and looks at her outfit, adding: 'I mean wearing all black at night you're kind of asking for it, right?'

The creative clip also explores the gender pay gap and the notion of the glass ceiling for women.

A female being interviewed by two men is told: ‘I just think a woman dungeon master would be too emotional.’

A boyfriend explains to his girlfriend that she might have stood a better chance at getting into her grad programmes if she had just 'smiled more'

The film makes a point about sexual consent when a man tells a woman that if he just keeps revving at the red light then eventually she will give in and give him the go ahead

In the next clip, a man is at the wheel of a car, and keeps putting his foot on the gas despite being held at a red traffic light. His woman passenger shouts: ‘What are you doing? You’re supposed to stop.’

He replies: ‘I’m just going to keep pressing until she gives me the green light' - making a point about sexual consent.

A crying woman is then seen sobbing to her boyfriend: ‘I just got rejected from every grad scheme I applied for.’

To which he responds: ‘Maybe you would have gotten in if you had smiled more.’

The film ends with a woman being told her outfit is distracting male students and she is forced to wear an audacious box to her school prom

She replies by saying: 'It's at 77 per cent battery and with my phone that's as good as it gets.'

The video ends with a women being told off about her choice of dress at a school prom.

A male teacher says: 'The dress code clearly states that all female clothing must not distract boys from their study, so you're going to have to wear this in the meantime now go out there and enjoy your prom.'
