RE: Well, Are You? Part One of a Series; Sexist

[tritium]

Does the author of this post wonder if she is sexist?
Does she use terms like "fragile male ego"?
Does she cite a tertiary definition of sexism that specifies "hatred against women" even though the first two definitions do not differentiate between sexism against a specific gender?

Well bethalea, are you sexist?

Yes. Yes you are.

Hey, @tritium. I was really going to let this go however I'd like to clarify a few points.

1. No, I don't often wonder if I am sexist. I love men; I love their similarities to one another, and I love their differences. I love their cliched same-ness and the fact that every single one of us is an individual, worthy of anothers' respect. I dislike the 'madonna-hood', if you will, of women, and I hate the 'bestial unthinking masculinity' of men. We deserve to see each other as our true selves, no matter the outer shell we currently inhabit.

All that being said, yeah. I do make assumptions I should reconsider. Thanks.

1. Yes, obviously I do. It was used for dramatic intent and appears to have served that purpose.

2. If you mean 'tertiary as such,
   adjective

   1. third in order or level.
      "most of the enterprises were of tertiary importance" source um. so yeah, my third definition was different than the others. Sexism towards women is more prevalent and more violent (I have no source for this but if needed, i'll find it. it's just TRUE) therefore yes, I chose to include it in my post.

3. So yes, I think I am. I have preconcieved notions about men, especially in my culture and country. They're not violent; I do not hire women because of my sexism, I do not speak to men as though they are my inferior. I will always strive to listen and learn and grow, as I hope you will.

Thanks, as always, for reading and allowing me to clarify some thoughts.
