9. The problem probably comes in when some of us don't know...
what activities or structures are sexist, subtle ones anyways. I mean, if I'm accepted at a job, for whatever reason, its certainly possible that I was chosen over a woman or a minority. That bothers me, for obvious reasons, because even with Affirmative Action laws etc. minorities and women are underrepresented in both the workplace and education. The same is true for payscale, etc. I recognize that, even told you what happened when I did, but what other activities are sexist? Beyond horrible jokes, uses of language in certain ways(the only form of bitch is a female dog, at least scientifically :)), and things like lack of law enforcement when it comes to rape, domestic violence, and sexual harrasment, what else is there(honest question)?
