In reply to the discussion: Why are some men so upset with the idea that treating women differently can promote and teach Sexism. [View all]The Straight Story
(48,121 posts)It is just interesting how people will find ways to call others sexist for anything they can, helps them to keep feeling oppressed so they have a reason to go on perhaps. Is there sexism that harms? Yep. Should we expose it and fight it? Yep.
It reminds me mostly of the US and terrorism. We find it everywhere these days. Carrying bottled water on to a plane? You might be a terrorist. Taking a one way trip? Same. We spend billions out of fear and that people are possibly, maybe, going to do some crazy shit and everyone is now a suspect.
You might be a sexist if you don't treat men and women the same in all ways. Which means someone has to do a study and educate you on being a better human.
I used to treat women better in some ways than I did men (mainly cause I like women more so then men), which means - I think - that I am sexist against men. But am also, it appears, against women....
Of course some will look for motivation (you did something nice for a woman you didn't do for a man, you think she is weak and you were raised to hate women, etc and so on).
The only thing that does outrage me is stupidity, regardless of the topic.
