Are you a woman? I've never met a woman who hasn't had some experience with this. Sexism is everywhere, and if you haven't really experienced it, that's bcz you're a guy.
Don't know what the other comment was, but everyone has experienced sexism. It's inevitable that inaccurate gender stereotypes will be applied to you at some time. For men it's just the "stop emoting you fucking pussy" or "you suck at nurturing so don't even try."
The patriarchy fucks us all.
While I agree, men face sexism too, in a different way. It feels like minimizing their experiences, to have someone come in here and say, well, actually, men face sexism as well.
I am a guy, for the record. I just finally started listening to the women in my life who have been telling me for years that they face this stuff.
I don't think it's minimizing to acknowledge that sexism is endemic and cuts both ways.
You don't have to think its minimizing. I'm trying to tell you nicely that it is.
Well, you're wrong, so maybe don't be a condescending shit about it
The fact that you are so angry about what I have to say tells me I'm not.
The fact that you have to pretend I'm angry for pointing out you were a cunt just to pretend you're in the right is sad
Do some self reflection my dude. Toxic masculinity is not the same thing, not even close.
Never said it was the same thing, don't put words in other people's mouth. You said it minimizes people's experience to point out that sexism isn't exclusively experienced by one sex, which is a silly thing to say, and was the point of discussion, because of your original "if you haven't experienced sexism you're a man" comment
The reading comprehension/memory of people on this site has gone down the shitter the last couple weeks, jfc
Good talk, but clearly not gonna get anywhere here. Have a nice weekend.
