374. You're just naming men's names. Is that what sexism is to you? Being male?

If you care to use any particular example, I'll be happy to address it. But, I don't see anywhere in this thread that you've been able to do that.

A bigger issue here is that you obviously don't know what the word sexism means. Calling someone a bitch is not sexist. It's rude, it's meant to demean, but it's not sexist.

Sexism: noun
1. attitudes or behavior based on traditional stereotypes of sexual roles.
2. discrimination or devaluation based on a person's sex, as in restricted job opportunities; esp., such discrimination directed against women.
