Sexism can also include paying less attention or being ignorant of stereotypically “female” activities.
That, in practice, pushing a pram is not at all gender specific doesn’t matter here, it’s the stereotype that does.
- Guthur 8y agoStrongly implied "Fitbit isn’t the only tech giant to have big gaps in their understanding of women’s lives. Journalist Alexandra Heminsley noticed that neither Apple Watch nor Fitbit let you log pushing a pram as exercise, despite the fact that everything from barre to Zumba was there already" For the record I don't actually care. I was mocking the current victim hood culture and this article follows very similar language patterns.
- tomelders 8y ago> Sexism can also include paying less attention or being ignorant of stereotypically “female” activities. What is a stereotypically female activity?
- arrrg 8y agoAny and all aspects related to child rearing, for example.

- tomelders 8y agoOk. I personally don't think that's a female activity, but I take your point that others might. That said, I don't have any children of my own. As such, I only have a vague idea about the challenges involved. I am without a doubt, ignorant to the reality of child rearing. Does that make me sexist?
- insickness 8y ago> Sexism can also include paying less attention or being ignorant of stereotypically “female” activities. So it's sexist to not stereotype but also sexist to stereotype. Got it.
