>"sexism still exists"

to me it "she is still able to see sexism when she intends to do so".

For example, if i wanted, I could also see sexism in the respect for me at the worksplace - "they respect me because i'm a man!"

You would be able to see sexism in the workplace is a coworker explicitly came up to you and said, "you only work here because you want to support your wife!"

Serious question: did you read the post?

>"you only work here because you want to support your wife!"

that pretty much true. That is my point - if i wanted to see sexism i'd see it in everything i choose to.

>Serious question: did you read the post?

yep, and i'm trying to reclaim the wasted time by voicing my disagreement with that promotion of sexists stereotypes

I dunno, "you, WOMAN, only doing X because your HUSBAND is" is pretty sexist. Explicitly so. But whatevs, time spent is time wasted.
