Your cognitive dissonance must be impressive. You have recently wrote:

>She is openly racist and sexist so good riddance

> I think it's very reasonable to be against Islam because of its stance on gay rights, women rights

And here you are being sexist and ignoring the right of women to not be discriminated against because of their gender.

How do you reconcile these positions inside your own head?

There is a difference between saying things like women are worse employees or don't deserve same rights as men and being put in position to choose between being sexist when hiring and putting someone's else children above well-being of your family. I hope you can understand the difference.

I'm sure the typical person you'd say "good riddance" about also is doing the best for their family. Is it correct for people to say "good riddance" about your opinion?

And being sexist when hiring is saying they're a worse employee and don't deserve the same rights.

Beginning to think your business doesn't deserve to exist.

Talk the talk, just don't walk the walk.

I understand.
