Some things for us guys to keep in mind about sexism if we don't want to come off as jerks.

58. I'm afraid we'll just have to agree to (partly) disagree on this one.

Yes, by the way, I do realize that prejudices do remain (somewhat) embedded in society.....but, the truth is, not everybody actually participates in such, directly or indirectly(and this is also true for racism, by the way. Much more so, in fact). I cannot claim to have been always unprejudiced myself, but there ARE people out there who have been socialized in that manner. So there is hope.

TBH, though, this: "But the vast majority of the time we commit these little prejudices without thinking and without hesitation. Not because we are bad people or anything of that sort. But because it is normalized.".....even if you may not realize it, does end up having the effect of (unintentionally!) *downplaying* the effects that the worst forms of prejudices, at least, DO have on many people. Racism is not normalized in today's society, overall. Neither is misogyny. And yet, both still do great harm to people(especially People of Color, but yes, do remember that "white" folks are occasionally personally harmed by racist language and hate-motivated violence, intimidation, etc., and men are occasionally impacted by sexism).
