Yes, men are close [sic] minded idiots. What a joyous, enlightened age we live in, where sexism is dead and there's peace and love for all.

I wish we’d stop defining people based on their being part of a statistical group. Judge, but judge people individually, based on evidence.

  That's very inefficient and against human nature. After dealing with several individuals of a certain group, they will get assigned a rating, and any further interaction will either be welcome or undesirable, but if unavoidable, will be judged individually, still with a bias. Everyone does this, whether they admit it or not.

    Everyone has cognitive biases, yes; this podcast, which I direct you to specifically [1] has made me realise more readily the biases I have and allows me to attempt to correct for them. Just because it’s difficult doesn’t mean it’s not worth doing. [1] https://youarenotsosmart.com/podcast/ https://youarenotsosmart.com/podcast/

      That looks interesting. I am painfully aware of how much dumber and slower I am than other people, profiling is what I choose to do because it's easier. Stone me if you want, I don't have long to live anyway.

        That’s terrible to hear jotm, I hope you have people to talk to and if not my email is in my profile. Maybe there is some esoteric treatment worth a punt... still worth hunting around for a second opinion and emailing a few universities.

Yes, men are close [sic] minded idiots. What a joyous, enlightened age we live in, where sexism is dead and there's peace and love for all. That's the genius of the extreme left. Before, there was a universal principle-based definition of sexism. By re-defining the term {sexism} so that it's only something that one particular gender does to another, they've eliminated by redefinition almost 50% of all {sexism}, converting whole categories of bigotry based on in-born characteristics into virtuousness.

People who view being eco-friendly as unmanly are idiots, I don't care what gender they are.
