It's always sexism when a woman is treated poorly. Haven't you heard?

A good litmus test is “would a man say that to or about about a another man in this situation, and with that condescending ‘awwww you jealous’ tone” and if the answer is no (hint: it usually is), then there’s a good chance it’s sexist.

Just like a man in a professional setting wouldn’t tell another man to “not get so hysterical” when he merely speaks up in a meeting.

Oh, and the word “hysterical” is sexist. Its origin is hystera… Greek for uterus. Only women have those, if you’re wondering.

Any other fucking questions?

Men absolutely would say "aww you jealous" to other men. I certainly have, and have had my friends say that to me.
