Re: All men are potential rapists or predators

Isn’t treating men and women differently based on nothing but their sex the very definition of sexism?
Snerk! Perfect 
I don’t treat kids the same way I treat elders. Does that make me ageist?
I don’t speak to native English speakers the same way I speak to people new to the language. Does that make me lingo-ist?
I don’t make the same accomodations for disabled folks as I do non-disabled folks. Does that make me abelist?
I don’t treat everyone the exact same way. I don’t treat my family members the same way I treat my friends. I don’t treat my friends the same way I treat people I don’t know. I don’t treat my boss the same way I treat my coworkers. None of this keeps me up at night because I try to treat everyone fairly and respectfully. Only a robot thinks equality means “treat everyone the exact same.”
But I think the idea is that adults should be treated equally unless there is a good reason for not doing so. There are a few situations where it would make sense for adult men vs women, but as a general rule they should be treated the same. No? Otherwise, you are straying into sexist territory.
Good thing I didn’t say “treat everyone the exact same” then. Whew! Glad that’s out of the way.
Perhaps now you can answer how treating men and women differently based on their sex is NOT sexism?
If a person prefers to date women rather than men, are they being sexist because they are treating men and women differently based on their sex?
Your gotcha ya is a little weak to my eyes.
Sorry, I don’t do gotchas.
“Preferring” is not the same as “treating” is it? No? So, your “gotcha” has failed.
Another answer:
What if I prefer male employees over females employees? Is that sexist?
Yes preferring to date women I would treat them differently than men. I will not ask a man out or flirt with a man.
I wasn’t doing a gotcha I was asking you a question that illustrates an issue with your position.
If you are the manager at Hooters are you sexist for not hiring men?
You aren’t making the impact you think you are with this point you keep making.
Here’s a secret. Hooters does in fact hire men! BOOM!
As waitresses with the short shorts? Would you consider a particular Hooters to be sexist if it only had female waitresses?
Look you tried to make a point and it didn’t land the way you expect it to. Its really no big deal. It happens to all of us. Trying to beat it into the ground isn’t going to make it more impactful.
It’s amazing to me that “Treat men and women the same” is a non-controversial position when it comes to women’s pay, but when a man dare says “Don’t treat me like a potential rapist simply because I’m a man”, then all of a sudden “Treat men and women the same” doesn’t apply.
Strange.
What point am I trying to make? Treat men and women the same? Don’t treat men as potential rapists simply because they are men?
Monstro clearly stated that she treats men and women different based on nothing but what sex they are. Excuse me if that’s a controversial position. Fucking la la land in this thread.
What’s strange is telling a woman how she is allowed to feel about a potential risk to her. Would you feel ok if you were ordered not to worry about some particular risk that you account for in your day to day life? Most cars will not hit you if you cross the street, but what if I said you are not allowed to look both ways before crossing because that is not fair to be suspicious of the responsible drivers that watch where they are going?
You are saying that women should not be allowed to assess risks in their every day lives and try to be safe because some man somewhere may feel offended that they were suspicious of some other man in a dark parking lot. La La Land is in your head on this one.
I’m curious. How many women have hit on you while you’re riding the bus or the subway?
Because this is the situation I was talking about.
Can you answer my questions first? Or are you too busy acting like a durr-bot to respond to them?
Ok, that’s fair.
From now on, I’m going to cross the street when I see a Muslim or a black guy because I don’t feel safe.
Would you consider that racist?
Or perhaps:
All men are potential rapists. Therefore it’s okay for women to feel unsafe around men.
Compared to:
All Muslims are potential terrorists. Therefore it’s okay for people to feel unsafe around Muslims.
Is that the same? Why or Why not?
Sure, I’ll answer your questions.
In order:
No.
I don’t know what that is.
Not sure. What do you mean by accommodations? Do you only hire disabled people? Do you give disabled people more breaks or a longer lunch or higher salary simply because they are disabled?
Well, that was very entertaining. Demented and sad, but entertaining.
Any other pointless questions you need answering?
I can only recall one. So?
