Sexism is defined as the discrimination of a person based on gender, right? And racism is defined as the discrimination of a person based on race, skin colour, or background. So why then, is Sexism against men and racism against white people given the name Reverse Sexism or Racism? It's not, it's the exact same thing. For example, if a black person makes a club, and labels it "The Black Club (no white people allowed)" everyone just says "Oh, let them do their own thing it's alright" however, if a white person makes a club and labels it "The White Club (no black people allowed) everyone gets into a massive hype and this person isinstantly public enemy #1. How is that fair? Both the black people AND the public would be racist against white people in said situation. NOT "Reverse Racist" according to the proper definiton of racism. Also, one of the most STUPID things I have EVER heard in my LIFE that has anything to do, REMOTELY with sexism, is the fact that if 2 workers, a male and a female, are interviewed for a job, and both have the EXACT same qualifications, and are equal for the job, then the female MUST be chosen. Now that is LUDICROUS. People claim it rids sexism among the work place, by making it fair for women. How does it rid the workplace of sexism? What it's doing is taking away one form of sexism, and replacing it with another, debatebly worse form. Anyway, that's my rant, feel free to post your ideas.
