In reply to the discussion: Sports Illustrated - it's worse than you thought: [View all]The Straight Story
(48,121 posts)I honestly get it. I know they were trying to illustrate something. Thing is I didn't agree with it because their take was basically that people who did certain things hate women. And there was no debating that.
My mom taught me it was simply polite to hold open doors for women (and the elderly) - not because women were weaker than men but because it was a nice thing to do because women do so much for others. It was more of a mom thing than a woman thing. Mom takes care of you, she packs your lunch, does your laundry, she is there every day for you while dad was off working so you do what you can to help out moms.
But no - it became you hate women and see them as weaker. Not that you respect them and this was a show of respect. Hold the door open and you hate women, think they are weak, or want to bang them. There was no compromise. There was only 'this is my view, if you don't hold it you suck'.
Put out your own view? Well that is not allowed and you have latent misogyny in you.
Angry? Yeah - because being I told I hate women and don't care time after time does that to me.
