17. Some things about Biden are well known.

Biden has inherent sexist tendencies that are more prevalent in his age group.

I find dismissing that fact, and it is a fact, to be the problem. Writing it off as the “usual suspects” or someone with an agenda is to dismiss the most prevalent form of sexism seen in society today.

It’s going to be overblown by some with an agenda. It’s fair to speak about that. It’s wrong to use it as a means to dismiss the societal issue as a whole and how Biden’s actions feed into it. It’s not sexual harassment. It’s not even harassment. Calling out those claiming it is either of the two is fine. What he does have is a pattern of action that is demeaning to women, non-existent in male to male communication outside of the familial unit, and the most common form of sexist behavior seen in society today.

I think Biden is an extremely good man. His intentions in these encountters are good. He simply doesn’t see the patriarchal, demeaning, and oppressive consequences of his actions. This is a one hundred percent learned behavior. The beauty of that is he is getting a lesson today and will be better for it.

Dismissing or calling out those with an agenda is fine. Using that as a way to dismiss the behavior is not.

Share your councel. It might be enlightening on the subject matter or more along personal lines.
