Maybe. But not to me.

So.....
Not wanting a woman on a front-line fighting force or a professional footbal team is a "judgement call" and not wanting girls on my sons little league team is 'sexist'? It's ALL sexism. A decision based on gender and gender alone, no matter what for, is sexism. Period. I maintain there is no 'grey area' when it comes to the word "Sexism".
So my position is that sexism is not "always wrong", it's circumstantial.
It's not sexism just because you make a decision based on sex. If I'm told to choose a team of men, is it sexist to then choose that team of men? Or if im told to point at a woman, am I being sexist by carrying out that task? It only becomes sexist when a decision based on sex is down to prejudice and negativity.
