Sexism on myLot (and everywhere else, really...)

How about the perennial post of those people who blames women who dresses sexy as the reason for being raped. Heck I even seen a member who blamed sexy clothed women for earthquakes.

After reading your post I asked myself: am I sexist? I suppose I am. But I still think that there are some differences between men and women. I´m sure that some men AND women cheat. If only men cheated, with whom would they cheat? About keeping secrets or shedding tears, I guess it is in part cultural, in part part of the person´s psychological profile but hormones have their say too. I have found that, with age, I tend to cry more while I watch corny movies. I´m sure it has to do with age (hormonal change maybe).Am I being "ageistic"? I just listened to a wonderful sexist song from My Fair Lady. It was Rex Harrison singing "Why can´t a Woman be more like a Man?" Good morning!

I guess I might be a bit. i guess we might all be a little bit. Although some probably more than others.

This morning someone "suggested" that women cannot keep secrets. There is no difference with men, some can some do not. Generalization is wrong and placing tags on people categories is not correct.

But can a man see dust? I am just kidding. I do know a man who can notice the slightest amount of dust.

I guess I am...us ladies at work have been known to do a bit of man bashing sometimes

Making assumptions based on gender can be quite offensive and actually shows lack of thought and imagination.

Are you grumbling against us women? GLARE...Let me bring my army and arms...Evil Grin.

Gender has nothing to do whatever one does whether it be bad or good. What pisses me off in this country is that the law is lenient when it comes to men cheating than women. The rationale? Women can bring the wrong heir in the family when she gets pregnant coz of her cheating. That's also sexism because the law seems to assume that only the men brings money into the family.

Well, there are some traits that are definitely more feminine or masculine. Whooops, I iz drawin a blank, I can't think of an example.

I've pondered this question myself over the years. I have to think that I am a bit sexist, and I think that the majority of us are.

Right on that

But I think we are all sexist at some point or other...oh well.

To some extent I feel that I am also a sexist.

It’s 8 AM on a Saturday (the regular crowd shuffles in...). Why are you getting deep on us? You’re correct, of course. It may stem from the less-PC days (e.g., an old “soul food” label translated to “all blacks like chitlins and collard greens”) or stereotyping (men won’t ask for directions). And, in many parts of the world, those “men and women are equal” memos are burned....

But aren't certain topics specifically for a certain gender?

I agree. I hate seeing those stupid posts.

How about dogs do this and cats do that. It should pets do this and pets do that.

Interesting

I like where this is going.
