People looking for bias can be just as wrong as people ignoring it. Examples of people claiming x-ism where it doesn't exist abound. Yes, sexism/racism/classis

Yes, sexism/racism/classism/etc all exist and are all problems, but that doesn't mean every unfortunate circumstance is an instance of it. When you believe someone is wrong, it's (generally) not a bad thing to try to explain why you believe they're wrong. You may not convince them, but that doesn't make you a bad person (as long as you're willing to listen/try to understand) when they do likewise.
That being said, the circumstances described in the do appear to show sexism. I enjoyed the read.
- pokemongoaway 9y agoWhy is it not sexism? OK, I'll bite... Because he has a wife who he's fucked and kids he's created. Or no, you're right, he hates ALL women! If this were the court of law, then the charge would not hold.
- RHSeeger 9y ago>> the circumstances described in the do appear to show sexism > Why is it not sexism? I feel like maybe you didn't actually read what I said, since what I said was that it did appear to show sexism. The first paragraph of my response was addressing the person that said (effectively) that you should never disagree with a feminist about what is or isn't sexism (which is what I disagreed with).
