    That’s not what sexism means. Sexis@m is the systemic devaluation of one gender over(or rather under) the other.

    And the statistics don’t lie, homie: It’s crazy how many women were sexually assaulted by men.

      systemic

      Fuck that shit. That’s a bullshit definition that’s a shield for bigotry.

      Sexisim is when you attack a gender for existing. Doesn’t matter if it’s systemic or just one asshole. Still sexism.

      It’s crazy how many women were sexually assaulted by men.

      We know! We fucking know. That’s not the statement.

        No, that’s the common definition ever since at least Simone DeBeauvoir. You can’t be racist against the people at the top of a racial hierarchy for the same reason.

        Not viewing these issues as systemic actively worsens your understanding of a situation, because it skewes your view away from underlying, systemic issues towards concluding that it’s just individuals being assholes.

        Sexisim is when you attack a gender for existing. Doesn’t matter if it’s systemic or just one asshole. Still sexism.

        As soon as you follow that definition, you’re not talking about real people, but rather about strawmen and cartoon characters, who hate just for the sake of hating. Again: It makes yopr understanding of issues worse.

        That’s not the statement.

        What’s the statement, according to you, then?

          Fuck your moving goalposts too.

          Racism and sexism are systemic. They are not exclusively systemic.

          Simone DeBeauvoir

          Bigoted shitstain.

          What’s the statement, according to you, then?

          The statement is “I would rather be stuck in the woods with a strange bear than a strange man.”

            Sure, bud. /s

            Bigoted shitstain.

            Ad hominem attack.

            The statement is “I would rather be stuck in the woods with a strange bear than a strange man.”

            Originally, “strange” wasn’t part of the video.

            Yeah. Funny how you can make everything sound bad, if you ignore the context.
