Might wanna read up on benevolent sexism so you look like less of a tool. What am I supposed to provide? Proof that discriminating on sex is sexism? Lol okay.
I don't have to be a woman to identify sexism. Ignoring my viewpoint because I am a man is also sexist. You're on a roll!
lol
Too bad your ship for 'looking like a tool' is off on the horizon. It set sail when you started to use ad hominems, and then it really took off when you in effect asked me to make your arguments for you by asking me to look into a subject. And now its long gone when you feign outrage by being asked to support a claim you made.
I have never ignored your point. Each comment you made has been addressed. What we have now if a second post from you where nothing substantive has been said.
Waving something away is not addressing it. I'm sorry you think the idea that women are less capable of standing than men is not only based in fact, but is a polite assessment worth defending.
It's okay if you don't want to engage in a real way. Being critical of the self is one of the hardest things to do, even more so when your flaws are rationalized as the work of a gentleman.
Point for me where I have ever "waved away" your comments. I'll wait.
I have also never claimed that women are "less capable of standing". What I have said is that, of the two sexes, the assumption is that men are more able to endure being uncomfortable by standing for long periods of time. And when one of the sexes is to be uncomfortable, it should properly fall to men to put their comfort second to women and offer their seat to them in a packed subway car in NY. The same should be done for the elderly, those who are injured or disabled, and pregnant women or anyone with a child. If she refuses, then you are free to keep sitting.
How in gods name can you not see that saying 'it should fall on men to be uncomfortable instead of women' is not sexist? You are basing your entire stance on the fact that they are female. That is sexism. If you single out one gender, based solely ON their gender, it is sexist.
I have explained it several times already, but again, typically sexism, like any ism, assumes some pejorative or negative animus for the treatment. There is nothing pejorative in being able to stand for a lesser length of time because there is nothing to be proud of in being able to stand for a long time. Well, at least if you have a shred of self-worth there isn't. Its just a thing.
If you however mean that its sexist because its differential treatment based on sex, then that's accurate, yes. I see little issue with that though, as the act of discriminating is not itself terrible. We don't let people who have not passed medical school and become licensed practice medicine, which is a discrimination against those without such licenses. We have different competition standards for women in every sport, which is also sexist. Its equally sexist to not allow a man to work as a female stripper in an all-woman strip review. Its also quite racist to refer to black people as "black people", because its different treatment based on their race.
Therefore, what needs to be asked is the animus for the behavior. Where there is no such animus, the behavior is not racist, sexist, ageist, etc.
