Based on the dictionary definition of " Sexusm". Do you honestly think you are sexust or no?

[Anonymous]

I ask bc I'm surprised at how often blatantly sexist views get rationalized on here by invoking the word " nature" or gender roles or how it is. Assuming you know how a person thinks or acts or behaves bc you have a predetermined view of how their sex is supposed to be or expected to be is not " not sexist" just bc you have a personal anecdote to go along with your statement.

You may meet two people and have a definite view of their differences but that does not extend to billions of people you gave never met, no matter how intelligent it may make you feel to think so or speak as such. And whatever you think Fred flinstone said to Wilma five million years ago that proved your view a
Of the sexes doesn't count... It's just a story.

So lets see , according to Merriem : Sexusm.

1 : prejudice or discrimination based on sex; especially : discrimination against women
2 : behavior, conditions, or attitudes that foster stereotypes of social roles based on sex

Yes unfortunately I'm sexist.

Yes I'm sexist but I don't see a problem with that. Sexism it's just a word bitter people use to try to make what is right sound wrong.

Nope not sexist based on the Definition --not a drop.

Yeah but only sometimes and only when I'm actually " right" anyways.

Other.

I find it odd is that sexism is considered real but no more real than gender norms " natural sex based differences" or female / male brain. It's like everyone is consistently being given entirely opposite ways of dealing with reality while simultaneously to, d one or the other is right or wrong or right and wrong depending on context... it's quite a paradox and it makes perfect sense people not answering C, would feel compelled to answer as they have.

Things are pretty incoherent.

no im not, I understand my limitations as a female but I can be just as good as any male. In high school I did many sports, foot ball, soccer, track, wrestling, swimming\dive. I tried gymnastics one year but decided to go back to the diving board.

I know I can still do anything they can but male are naturally stronger than females, trust me I would know.

as for relationship wise, my man is rather traditional but im hard headed and get my way sometimes. for example I might pay for restaurant bill one day and the next he does. it was a compromise when we first started dating.

As a female I learned quickly if you want to be equal you must be equal in all was not what is best suited for you at the given time.

[InsertWittyName]

Nope, I'm not sexist at all. I try to be as fair, open-minded, and non-antagonistic as possible. Can be difficult, but I try.

[Anpu23]

If you mean that I hold beliefs that certain activities are liked by MOST women and others liked by MOST men then I would say yes I am sexist. But I would argue that when science says that women GENERALLY are more interested in certain things as apposed to men it's no longer sexist in nature. Also their are some demonstrable differences in the way men and women think.
I would also argue that their is a huge gap in our understanding of gender politics, and it's unfair to point out "1 : prejudice or discrimination based on sex; especially : discrimination against women" when men are just as likely to be discriminated against.

[Asker]

I agree with the last sentence bit the Devi option emphasized discrimination against females it did not limit descriminayion to denials.

I would argue that beliefs about a oetson based on their sex is sexist. If you think that culturally orople have come to have certain expectations this can be true. But holding this as Intractable fact of life / nature , would be sexist as nature is fluid and sex is biological not conscious beliefs are conscious.

There are not proven demonstrable differences between the sexes. there are prejudicial studies pointing at evidence of sex based differences in thinking, that is any where contradicted in another study. And that can change deidndent in time place culture influence etc.

Interests are produced by what we lack what we need. Society takes care of these needs. To say in a certain culture women are - scientifically- more intersted in certain things is speaking of social influence exoectation and disposition. Not nature.

Well this is my

[Asker]

Opinion... Though what I do find odd is that sexusm is considered real but no more real than gender norms " natural sex based differences" it's quite a paradox and it makes perfect sense people would answer as you have.

Things are set up in a pretty incoherent way.

Men have hormonal differences that make them on average taller, stronger and more aggressive; therefor superior in the context of physical combat.

If I had to choose 20 people to fight with me in an arena to the death against another group of equal number, I would most likely choose 20 men. I would be highly skeptical of choosing any women due to their inferiority in the stated context. Sure if there was an outlier that met my standards I'd choose her, but that's unlikely.

Am I wrong? Is this rationality unacceptable? Is this sexism?

[John_Doesnt]

What is "sexusm"? Do you mean sexism? Well if you do it's something that isn't going away because humans are too picky.
When feminists push for "equal rights" they are typically pushing men down in the process. So when the men get pushed down, we push the women right back. It's an endless back and forth that will never be perfectly balanced.

[Asker]

Not what I asked. :) definition is at the end of the post you can just vote yay or nay:)

[John_Doesnt]

Based on definition #2, yes I would be a sexist. I'm stating my opinion of why it will never go away.

[Asker]

It's faulty logic. Backlash against aggression is not maintaining a balance, its transcending limits.

[Asker]

But thank you for answering :)

[John_Doesnt]

I never said it was maintaining balance, it is simply a reaction. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Men lashing back isn't good, but we do it anyway because it expresses how we feel.

[KDA20]

I would say I am somewhere between C and D I try not to be sexist but treat women differently in some instances because it is right thing to do ( carry a heavy box ).

[Asker]

Mhm I'd definitely would exoect some guys to fall into that area. The well intentioned Mean area :) though would you not carry a heavy box for a man if he needed help? Courtesy isn't exactly orejuduce;)

[KDA20]

I probably wouldn't help a man as quickly to be honest - I don't know social conditioning

[Asker]

Thanks for being honest:)

[Outofthegrey]

Does "I don't give a fuck what's between your legs, just don't be a massive raging asshole" count as sexism?

[Asker]

Nope not a bit :-)

[Anonymous]

no and I hate when girls say "hey why am I carrying this you are the guy" and dump all their crap on me. and many more. its really f***in annoying

[Asker]

Yeah I'm with you I'd find that annoying as well. :)

I find it annoying when guys try to carry my stuff for me when I'm not actually asking if intersted in help, assuming I need help:)

[Opinion Owner]

oh and double standards against guys. thats even worse. but like for my brothers graduation my mom wanted to bring like a bleacher chair for the gym and she just was like "carry this your a guy"...

[Asker]

That sucks from a parent. I'm sorry. Your mom should've treated him like it was " his day".

[FierceBrosnan]

I can't really say that I'm sexist but at the same time I've said some shit and thought things that were pretty sexist. All in all I do my best not to let gender sway my opinions.

[Anonymous]

Men are definitely better. We are superior both physically and mentally. We are equipped to handle the dangers presented to us. All women can do is scream and panic in the moment of pressure.

[Klaatu51]

DEFINETELY not ;)

[Asker]

Yes I believe you. Your posts are entirely consistent with your statement. I'm not stalking you intentionally I just notice orople who consistently respond without prejudice. I don't follow you I just remember your answers but my brain just works that way:)

Everyone caries some degree of cognitive bias against different races, gender etc.

Yawn, didn't finish reading.

[Asker]

You don't have to read it to answer the question. I just wrote why I was asking bc sometimes orople don't like answering questions without knowing why they are being asked... Makes them feel defensive. Anyhow question is in the title and definition is at the end if the post. Funny that you just wanted me to know you didn't read it. You're odd:)

Didn't vote, since I didn't read the options. Never got that far.

Well then you don't get a +

Do you feel you are sexist toward men in any way?
