yeah and? generally those inferences are true. most of us are in the bell curve.
what i find that people really hate, is they make a inference about you, you tell them they are wrong, and they tell you to go fuck yourself.
I get that a lot. because i’m not a part of the bell curve and it really pisses people off that i don’t fit the stereotype they have of me.
but the vast majority of people do fall in that bell curve, based on sex, race, class, education, whatever. most of us are average. but that tends to offend people’s egos. they all want to think they are exceptional. i live in a city full of wealthy people who all want to tell you how poor and broke they are. it’s hilarious. very very few of them understand that they are wealthy, because they are so jealous of the neighbor who has a slightly better car/apartment/lifestyle.
and they do with this sex, race, and whatever else too. ‘if only i was taller’ ‘if only i was white’ ‘if only i was a man’ etc. Met so many female doctors who are RIPSHIT at the world because they think they’d be making 550K instead of 520K if they had a penis. and they are probably right. They’d also probably make 550K if they were a few inches taller. But none of them can seem to grasp the fact they 30K is not even an amount of money that would have any measurable impact on their life.
all i know is that men and women both hate it if you don’t treat them like ‘men’ and ‘women’.
people generally enjoy sexism, especially if it is beneficial to them.
I don’t believe this is true.
Must be nice for you?
All I know is that people generally hate it when you make inferences about them based on their demographic.

The bell-curve is extremely high dimensional. This means that most people are outside 2 stdevs on at least one axis.
