"It is often said 'not all men'. But they are always men."
Eh. The older I get, the more I realize that sex is not a good indicator of character.
Sexists will disagree, though.
In incidents like this, with rude comments about looks, it's always men doing it tho.
And it's always men downvoting us women who point it out.
Y'all are fragile little beasties.
Ugh, the blind hypocrisy here has reached The Office level... Sweeping generalizations and prejudgements based on sex, by someone claiming to condemn sexism.
Our society has made leaps and bounds in women's rights and equality, but there's still so much room to grow and improve. I am a man, and I believe there is still an unfair advantage to being both white and male sex. I believe this is due to inherent explicit and implicit sexism and racism that still permeates our society.
But you are making sweeping generalizations that you claim as a fact. Cite yourself then. Find some reputable research that supports your sexist claims.
There's a difference between making statements as I have done above vs asserting sweeping generalizations as fact, as you have done.
The historic sexism against women doesn't mean that in any given situation, men are default at fault, or the greatest offender by number. It's especially absurd here, where you are making it out like women do not have conflict with one another.
Were you homeschooled all your life? Do you live in a bubble? This is a blatantly false and truly absurd statement that everyone can laughingly dismiss, based on countless counter-examples throughout their personal lives.
The most cunningly ruthless insults I've ever heard in my life have all been from women, who I considered to have more emotional intelligence than the average man.
I don't know.. maybe you're just trolling and I bit....
