...is that they never think of themselves as bigots. Selection bias is a powerful psychological force. I wrestle with it myself, as does everyone, to one degree or another.

Sexism can be and is practiced by both sexes. Any statement that biases one's actions or words against another person because of their genitalia and not their character and human uniqueness is by definition sexist.

It's weird to be on the other side of a discussion with you. I usually find myself in agreement with your posts. I suspect that will continue.
