(33,301 posts)NOT because of gender role.
"I like women. I treat them different then men. I have sex with them and not men, which also makes me sexist I suppose." Because of YOUR sexual orientation actually! It is in the best interests of you and partner, and it's the most honest thing to do.
"If I am going out somewhere, like a bar that allows smoking (well, back when we had freedom of choice), and I dress nicely it is because I want women to see me a certain way. If I am more polite and talk them in a different manner then men it is because I am wanting their company."
Do women not dress nicely in such setting too? thing is there are places where EVERYONE is expected to dress formal whether fine dining, work, even CPAC! And I think bars are allowed to admit smokers if the establishment posts a sign warning so. And if you want to make good first impression on ANYONE like at first date or job interview you've got to put on your best manners. once you two have established trust THEN you can get casual.
"Sometimes people do things not because they hate and want to oppress. But some folks need to make it about being a victim. Even when it is something like going out of your way to do something nice."
...
"Men treat women different than they do other men. Women treat women different than they do men in some cases as well. What is the surprise here? Why does it have to be one is trying to oppress the other?"
You are misunderstanding things and misrepresenting arguments. I can't believe simple moral issues are seen as "POLITICALLY CORRECT" even on the left!!!
