    I think that’s how most people are. They don’t identify as sexist, but they do sexist things because of conditioning. No one ever thinks they’re a bad person, best we can do is try to be aware of our bullshit and keep learning.

      Well, there are people who do identify as sexists. Hell, the latest Jubilee episode shows that there are people identifying as fascists. All I wanted to say is that I do not believe that men and women have fundamentally different capabilities.

      Nevertheless, I do sexist things and it’s disgusting and I have little to no control over it. Hopefully I will grow to control it

        Without getting into philosophy, people who call themselves fascists and sexists don’t necessarily feel they’re “bad” because of it.

        Yes, I made a generalization, but this isn’t a term paper and I don’t have references.
