"has nothing to do with sexism" is too strong. imgabe has it right: "they aren't cruel because they are sexist, they are sexist because they are cruel." Consider 1960's era Chicago real estate agent who makes money by the following process: 1) Scare white people out of the neighborhood by having a black woman push a baby in a stroller outside their house. 2) Buy their house for cheap 3) Rent-to-own the house to black people and just as they are about to own it, bring up some bullshit thing and evict them. He is more likely motivated by greed than a desire to fuck over black people for the sake of racism. But he's still acting racist and contributing to the system of systemic racism. A troll how picks sexist remarks to fuck with people isn't really motivated by a sincere desire to advance sexism...but they are still contributing to sexism as a systemic problem.
