You would if you were speaking to an audience full of women, where that kind of comment happens all the time.
And where, I might add, no one rushes to the defense of men with a "cut the sexist crap" article.
- brown9-2 15y agoSo it's ok if you make these references to pander to your audience? I have a hard time imagining a man saying this about another man in front of any type of audience.
- erichocean 15y agoClearly, the opposite situation is a woman saying something about a man to a group composed 90% of women. And yeah, that happens all the time. Somehow, men deal with it (I know: the horror.)
- thtrombonist 15y agoI don't agree with the idea that because one group deals with it, everyone should. This also discards context -- if something is systemic and happens all the time, it has a different impact than something exceptional.
