Speaking up in public or confronting people has this effect on many, many people.
It is an indication of something that you think explaining a woman's own theories to her in public a "relatively straightforward conversational faux-pas". You should ponder that.
- auggierose 9y agoIt clearly sounds like sexism (probably non-intentional, but is that better or worse?). On the other hand, the woman who spoke up seems to be an actress working at a theatre, so public speaking is probably not a problem for her.
- aetimmes 9y agoThere's a distinction between scripted public speaking in a venue where all interaction is controlled and initiating real conflict in a public place with no such control.
- TuringTest 9y agoIt's quite different appearing in public for a rehearsed routine as part of your regular work, than making an impromptu public political statement, specially for introvert types.

The kind that involves intent is generally the kind that is done in a conscious manner (i.e. doing something one knows is sexism but you do it anyways, almost like planned murder is more serious a crime than manslaughter even though both end up with a dead victim).
