I thought you would understand that my "weaker" sex was not specifically regarding physical strength. I meant overall.

Would you say that about black people, too? They get scholarships that other races cant get sometimes.

But really, I guess what I'm asking is if we are just wiping the slate clean? Should nothing in our racist/sexist past have any bearing on current times?

You really think thoughts like this article are “wiping the slate clean”?

If people can point to specific examples of racism or sexism or discrimination, we combat them. But going on about how women are mistreated in general and men are evil is fucking stupid and absolutely counterproductive.

I don't believe in the concept of collective guilt. I treat others the way I like to be treated. I don't think the fact that some men are scumbags is any reflection on me. Just like I don't think the fact that Hillary Clinton is a horrible person is a reflection an all women. I don't even think it's a reflection on women- or men- who voted for her because of what they thought were good reasons.

When was the last time anyone here drove by a car and saw a woman changing the flat tire ?

Combat them?

I agree on the all men are evil part. Very dumb. Not as much on the women are mistreated. I believe they still are in some ways and won't begrudge them pointing it out.


I get an "oh my god, get over it we had a black president/female supreme court justice" vibe from a lot of people. I dont think that's a fair way to look at it.

If the response to that is, well, life aint fair. I agree. That's fine. Apply the same logic when wondering why articles like this exist.

Yes, combat them. Encourage those women to sue. Publicly shame the perpetrator. But it has to be specific and not just some dumb reference to patriarchy.

You're focusing on the all men are bad thing. I agree with you there. Id think most sane people do.


Im asking, is it ever ok to point out sexism?

Im not saying you, but there are many that auto eye roll at any mention of sexism/racism.

That article isn't pointing out sexism though. It's a guy who thinks he's an "ally" virtue signalling that he (and you and me, etc.) is a piece of shit because he was born with balls into a world where some men with balls act shitty.

Yes, it is right to point out racism and sexism when it occurs. The problem lies in perceptions. I would argue that some, not all, but some of what is portrayed as racist or sexist comments/actions/words are people really fishing and seeking out said offense for the sake of being offended.

I would argue, I think people who have an inherent nature to want to be offended search harder and harder to find ways to be offended or point out the systemic racist/sexist/any other -ist that is plaguing our society.

There is no question that some are fishing or completely without warrant, but it's like rape victims. Are you going to interrogate rape victims because others have lied in the past?

I would say, judge each instance on it's merit.


Dont be like another female "victim"

It's akin to saying RACE CARD to any claim of racism.

That was the point I was trying to make. I agree that each should be judged on its own merit. I think we agree on that but are coming at it from different sides. I don't think every claimed thing is automatically racist or sexist. I don't follow the Hillary mantra of "Trust all women" (Except those who accuse Bill).
