Huh. I was about to weigh in on how the original comment wasn't sexist, but here you go and prove me wrong. Oh well.

- coldtea 12y agoSexist besides "macho" and "looking down on women" etc also means "pertaining to a specific sex". The comment of the parent was that second thing, if anything. He talked from his experience, and that was the one he described. Nothing sexist in the bad sense about it, and no need to de-sexify it to some genderless form to make it "understood" by others. Women, gays, lesbians, etc are perfectly capable of understanding what he said, and applying it to their circumstances.
