My gripes are that these extrapolations and inference from a select audience, "Everyday Sexism", to the general public are both tenuous and myopic. The "Everyday Sexism" people have their concerns, prostate cancer advocates have their concerns... the world is a good place for equality and the furtherance of all humankind! News articles on Sky News and tweets from a sexism advocacy group are completely independent. There are no public opinion statistics in this article. What basis is there for assuming that the majority of the people in the Western world act according to and adhere to the "Everyday Sexism" tenets? I might be coming off as hostile to this article because I can't shake the feeling that the author is looking for outrage where there is none to be found. They consciously skirt the middle ground I mentioned in my first post, so as to rile up a mainly male audience. The article drops lines like "you can bet your life if women, or minorities of any ethnicity, sexuality or transgender were killing themselves at four times the rate of straight white men, it would be front page news" which is the opposite of a grounded, good-faith interpretation of "public opinion". This article simply doesn't explore "public opinion" with a holistic approach. The statistics given at the end of the article are misused to show that "we are better off (re: sexism) than we were before, so we might as well not talk about it anymore."
