In reply to the discussion: Does THIS Seem at all Sexist to Anyone? [View all]The Doctor.
(17,266 posts)98. That's impossible. You have decided that anything like this I post is about you.
You even believed that the question on whether the man was sexist was about you.
There's simply no way to post this without you accusing me of talking about you.
I have a possible solution though. You could rephrase the question that would show similar surprise from a woman at a man having so-called 'feminine' traits (fashion sense, cooking, artistry, name your stereotype) and asking it yourself.
You could create an OP yourself, and get the answers. Other than that, I'm going to have to wait several months to post it by proxy. Believe me, I won't make the mistake of using something similar to your own post again. You've certainly trashed this attempt because of it. Problem is: that means I'm going to have to go through and make sure that I'm not using any example that someone else can claim to be 'about them'.
Is it too much to ask for your cooperation in this endeavor? You seem to be a bit too agitated to even entertain the notion.
