Bairnardo Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 50% of online misogynistic abuse comes from women - is your reference to your wife in some way intended to imply because a woman says it that it couldn't be sexist?My wife is pretty openly sexist. She doesnt think womens golf or football should exist. I dont know why, just switch to screensaver mode whenever it comes up tbh. I suspect probably she doesnt believe there is an issue with womens rights, having never been aware of encountering one herself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough, my wife is much more prejudiced than me which is saying something. She hates female commentators on tennis and football. She can’t see why women are commentating on men’s football when they have their own game? On tennis she loves McEnroe and Becker and the Scottish chap. Regarding Sturgeon, first sound of her voice, the tv’s off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, if I held a view and then thought “hmm, that’s a really racist view I hold”, I’d probably have a serious think about it and what kind of person I am. Also, your wife sounds like a dreadful human being. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, your wife sounds like a dreadful human being. My wife’s brilliant. Its a strange person that doesn’t have prejudices (a robot). Its likes and dislikes, prejudices if you like, which make humans distinct and interesting. I have lots of prejudices but I don’t allow them to make me break the law. You don’t sound terribly interesting but , hey, none of my business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its when it impinges on her consciousness by being on TV and the like. Wee lassies playing football at the school doesnt seem to provoke this odd reflex.

No, it's simply because she calls her Nippy. I am however getting rather confused here where black people can't be racist towards black people but women can be misogynistic. Can someone write me down a list of what is and isn't possible/allowed in todays society as I am sure I am not the only one that can't keep up. f**k it, I'll just cancel myself and be done with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some perceive it as a more positive term than BAME/BME because it does not assume or make reference to a majority White race. However, others see it as similarly problematic as BAME or BME, in that it groups together people of great ethnic diversity and different shared experiences and identities.
