That's not true at all. Sexism comes from the conclusions others draw, not the intentions of the participants.

If this makes you uncomfortable, embrace that discomfort. It's the first step to understanding this.

I don't understand the proliferation of these silly definitions of sexism and racism. It's like we spent decades attributing malice to every possible demographic gap, and now that the data don't bear out our conclusions, we redefine those sins so they're actually not even inherently bad (for example, sexism is now the perception of sex-based prejudice and not actually prejudice).

This is the pinnacle of stupidity and hubris. We should be happy with our social progress and move onto other real problems.

The second is that you have a choice about the conclusions you draw. Some don't automatically impute malice or harm. That's the way forward for society.
