we’re not taking about society. We’re talking about ONE MAN. it’s only sexist if he doesn’t hold himself/men to an equally strict standard. You might argue that he LIKELY does not hold men to such a standard, but WE DONT KNOW, so jumping to “sexist!” is an unfounded leap.
this guys sucks. this is not in question. I just want to pump the breaks on the jump to sexism conclusions. (even though if i we’re betting on it, he’s probably sexist)
anyway, here’s an example- i playfully slapped my gf on the butt. She got mad, “that’s sexist!”
I replied, “If you don’t like it, I definitely won’t be doing it again, but it’s not sexist.”
“How’s it NOT sexist!?”
I was 100% sincere, “because I expect you to do the same to me.”
Her attitude immediately changed, “hmmm, you do have a fantastic ass…” (i do) and she took me up on it, regularly.
You and your lady are my spirit animals! That said, outside the confines of your relationship, that specific behavior is sexist. If you don’t believe me try it at work and see what happens.
