That's a good point: some people do it not for discrimination but for other problems. Another variation of what you say is "I'm guilty of this because I'm nervous about engaging in conversations with the woman of another person". And so forth. However with a dedicated effort you can fix this if you recognize is not what you want to do.
- kaybe 9y agoI'm not sure if I get your viewpoint right. Considering a woman to be of another person and thus off-limits for talking is already quite sexist and offensive in the West. Maybe that's not what you're trying to say? (In this vein, everyone is sexist and discriminatory and we just have to work with it, so this is not supposed to pass judgement on the person doing it, just the idea. You're not your ideas.)
- antirez 9y agoHello, I can speak for Sicily, and here this mechanism can work both sides, simply there are people that avoid to engage too much with the mate of another person, regardless of the sex. While I also think this is unacceptable, at least for my cultural background and my values, I think it is still a simpler to correct and more acceptable thing compared to not making eye contact or speaking with a woman because of not giving her the same importance of the other men. So yes, anyway even not engaging with a person because of its sentimental status with other persons you do not want to upset is terrible, but at least is not so directly sexism.
