How to respond to the "you look like a man" comments?

@dawn16 Yes this! This has been my best tool to use when my mother comments on my body - or peoples bodies on television. I used to come back with something witty and scathing or snarky and it was like taking the bait.

Now I have stopped responding and don't even smile or nod. I just keep doing what I was doing and she is left to sit there with her own rude comment hanging in the air.

The comments on myself and others have diminished greatly.
