sexist?

[Trump]

people on here I really want to know how many consider themselves as sexist?

Is it sexist just doing out primal roles in life, if yes then I’m very sexist you could say

[ExplorerOfDesires]

Depends on the context.

At work I try not to be and think that I succeed.

Sure I make sexists remarks, but only if I know that the other people are similar minded or at least won't be offended. But if there are people around that I do not know well yet, I am cautious. And as to the sexists remarks, women are free to join and some do.

But in general I try to value people on their capabilities, even though unconscious biases can make this is very hard. I know of a woman who works relative short at the same place as I do of who I'm pretty convinced she is smarter than I am. You could say that because I view her like that, I am not sexists, yet this still might not be sufficient. Just like me she has a physics background and reads the same (geek) stuff. The trick question would be if I would make similar assumptions if I would talk to a woman at work who is in her behavior a bit more feminine. I think I still judge the same, but I should do some serious soul searching to be more convinced about my claim.

Relationship wise I think it varies.

I do know that I like 'the role' of the person who is calm and provides protection, that somehow feels natural. In general that results into most of the times being on equal terms but not always completely equal. And in the bedroom this plays out a bit more. Still at times, sometimes everyone is on equal terms, but at other times she has a lot less to say about what is going to happen (which does absolutely not mean she receive any pleasure).

I am definitely a feminist. I was raised by feminist hippies and I’m a woman, and was a lesbian for most of my life so yeah. Feminist.

[Teisha]

alot of people might consider me sexist, I view myself as traditional.

No I don't believe I am sexist I believe in equality although in some ways I am still old fashioned .

[Trump]

some very interesting replies here from both perspectives of this topic I find them all as fascinating. I myself believe that equality can never been achieved based on many aspects physically, mentally and the fact men are the ones who gave us a right to even ask for equality so they will always have it over us. I equally don't believe women should be equal it goes against DNA females in all species look for a man to provide for us and protect us.

I would love to hear more peoples opinions and anyone who is willing to say they are sexist I would love to hear from you what your individual reasons are if your willing to share. I will not judge anyone for their opinions

Prejudice - A preconceived preference or idea.

Under these definitions, no, I am not sexist. I treat people as people, regardless of their sex or gender. Though I confess I might sometimes be a bit nicer towards trans people, but everyone feels drawn to others like them, right?

Just as a quick fact check, the males being the ones to provide and protect is not, in fact, present in all species. The most popular example being how female lions are the ones that hunt and even some groups of primates have an alpha female and an alpha male. Not to mention there's this thing called sexual cannibalism in most spiders and some insects, where the female eats the male. Though I guess you could say those poor spiders are technically providing lunch. ^^

Not that I take my social cues from other species, anyway. None of them figured out how to make the internet, so their social structures can't be all that.

We did make the internet which has had a devastating impact on not only us but our children so I don't think that's an achievement.
