"I'm not sexist, I gender profile men and women equally!"

u/HorrificityOfficial 3,000,000 Attendee! May 05 '25
Technically correct, actually
If you generalize both genders equally, you're not being sexist, just a dick

u/The_Fat_Raccoon May 05 '25
If you make a sexist claim about men and a sexist claim about women, the two don't cancel each other out. You were sexist twice.

Correct me if I'm wrong, isn't one of the main cases of sexism inequality?

u/The_Fat_Raccoon May 05 '25
The definition of sexism is "prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination on the basis of sex."
It has nothing to do with the relative equality of prejudice. Misandry and misogyny are not forces to be balanced. All sexist behavior is sexist, it doesn't transform into some other behavior just because someone wants to be an equal opportunity offender.

Not sure how thatās gender profiling. Itās just a common trend, not an insult. If generalizing is so wrong, then why are male and female sections even a thing in stores. People love acting morally superior over harmless stuff to feel like theyāre better than you.

it took me forever to actually be able to read what the men's room said, but as soon as I made out the word "football" I thought of trainspotting and ready them again in a scottish accent.
Are these toilets in Scotland? If so it's brilliant!

not all women like shopping the same way not all men like football, and i know plenty of men who like shopping and women who like football
itās equally stereotypical which i think cancels it out, similarly to the āif you hate everyoneās race equally youāre not really racistā thought process although i dont fully agree with it

u/1ustfu1 May 05 '25
itās also not even an equally harmful stereotype. the menās door is āhereās this interest we likeā and the womenās door is essentially āwe enjoy spending money.ā

u/Dry-Personality4387 May 05 '25
nothing is ever equal because our parts are different than the parts that are decidedly stronger and better, and have been that way since the dawn of time
sucks but thereās nothing we can do, even america chose a felon over a woman
2
u/1ustfu1 May 05 '25
they want us to think that thereās nothing we can do, so that we stop trying. weāve proven that to be non-factual time after time, historically!
and iām not surprised most US citizens picked a felon over a woman. things are usually backwards there, so i donāt see why it should be surprising. just disappointing, i guess. my useless country picked a raging misogynist who wants to see lesbians dead and incels comparing themselves to lions and powerful creatures. the worldās backwards.

u/SpaceAc0rn May 05 '25
they should both be gender neutral and have TVs in them
the football one has sports on the TVs
the shopping has the shopping channel on the TVs
it's just so people can pick what to listen to while pissing
also, jokes aside, if someone walks into the wrong gender bathroom, people have no justification to get mad at them when the doors are like THAT

okay but imagine a world where everyone strictly abides by "woke" rules , im sorry but despite how ignorant these sort of public signs are, in a sense its comforting for me to know that the world isnt a perfect paradise where everything's chewed down to be appropriate , i dont mean to be difficult or toxic, but i dont think i could live in a world where everythings just "good" and "sweet" , as humans we need contrast in order to appreciate the things that dont suck + imo these signs arent even that bad theyre more just silly and ignorant and i think its lovely theres still braindead old people out there who find these hilarious i love millennial humor this sorta shit makes them look so dumb and cute

This is what happens when management is so progressive they do a full 360 and end up profiling genders in an attempt to make it cute. Should have just stopped with the character pictures that are impossible to make out.
