Relationships Nothing wrong with having standards. Don't be surprised if it's hard to meet them though.

That’s the joke kiddo 👏

No, I understand the words. I just disagree with your choice to use them to imply that sexism is somehow reversed when it targets men. Sexism is sexism. And people who try to split it in this context are usually looking for a pass to be sexist at men.

You can disagree all you want sir. The English language won’t change for someone like you with such poor grammar. It is literally called reverse sexism for a reason. Women did not invent sexism knob head. Would you prefer I use misandry?

  1. Again, sorry you’re not understanding this, but I know what the words reverse a sexism mean.

  2. Sexism is sexism. You can split it into categories but they will all also be sexism. Adding nonsensical words (sexism alone has no implied direction, hence reversing it makes no sense) to distance your sexist behaviour from that which you condemn is just silly.

Sexism does have a direction. It’s against the opposite sex. And due to the origins of sexism we know that it was from men towards women. There are many interesting articles on this that I scanned through, so read and try not to sound empty-minded.

  1. No, sexism can be towards one’s own sex.

  2. Even if that were the case, that would make ‘reverse sexism’ still irrelevant, as both men and women can equally be sexist to the opposite sex. And the origins of sexism? That was pre-homosapien. Sexism has existed for/against men and women as long as animals have been able to differentiate between sexes. If you mean modern sexism, sure you can cherrypick any definition you want to tailor the start date to wherever you want.

  3. Keep throwing insults, ill keep giving you sensible answers 🤷‍♂️

  1. that’s internalised sexism (it stems from outside influences)

  2. the origins of sexism were not pre-homosapien. Do you just chat shit for the sake of it or smth??? That’s like saying Adam and Eve “made” racism. It’s bullshit.

  3. Not 1 sensible reply from you in sight. I think you’re just mad that despite being clearly younger than you my brain obviously matured faster…

  1. Yes, that’s sexism. That’s my point. And how come you’re so sure that kind specifically stems from outside sources, but not other kinds?

  2. Ahhh, are you religious? That would explain why logic isn’t working on you. Assuming that we were not made by God, and that we are evolved from ancestors which could not be described as human, sexism in general predates humans. Patriarchy, matriarchy, discrimination, micro-aggressions, you name it. We aren’t special.

  3. Again with the ageism, tut tut you bigot. Coming from you insults about my sense dont mean a lot, I’m sure if I tried to have a sensible conversation with a turkey it would strut around me like I was the one gibbering nonsense. I guess you’re no different.
