Sexism discussion

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

I just avoid all of it. I'd rather play some games or watch some movies.

Please forget I said anything.

Whether it is more prevalent or not does not detract from the meaning of the base ideal, which is just as bad toward men as it is toward women.

To be honest sexism towards a man (at least to me) doesn't really get to me. I could care less.

Women on the other hand tend to take it far more personal.

I agree
To the women who say bad things towards men I get pissed but usually use the "Eff you" principle
When other men say they like using the women like tools, well, it's hard to let go


The thing I REALLY don't like is when men and women will say "Men and women are a different species, and you can't really understand them fully", you know what I mean. Men are fully capable of being sensitive enough to see like a girl and a girl to be like a man, it's whether they want to accept that they can or they want to. They'll use it as an alibi in things about relationships a lot, which I don't like really

The point is, it's improved at a staggering pace since the Civil rights movement.

One could also argue that personal gestures and attitudes towards women have declined, taking the matter out of the public and general sense. One can argue that there are fewer "gentlemen" left, and less "ladies", although the term lady may also have bad implications of being one minded or set. It really depends on what way you WANT to see it

Everyhing seems to be fairer for men though

That isn't the point.

Depends on what you define as sexism. Treating an individual man or woman different even if their abilities and desires are the same or requiring the aggregate sum of all desires, attributes, social indicators to be the same between men and women.

The latter I would find to be very preserve as it would require changing individual wants to force equality such as Title IX eliminating sports programs because more men are interested in sports than women.
