Just because, I, for instance, might be just as harsh with women in a debate as I am towards men, doesn't mean I'm a sexist - all it means is this person in particular that accused me of it takes advantage of whatever bullshit there is available for them to make themselves appear the victim - by doing this, they both take the pressure off of them and brilliantly smear the opponent, albeit dishonestly so.I'm a little confused here, because I don't recall how we've arrived at this argument. I haven't referred to anyone as a sexist here...
I for one, would rather give women the respect they deserve - that is not treat them as anything less then I would treat any other human being(that necessarily includes no preferential treatment), even if that means I'll be called a sexist sometimes, whereas when I do it with a man - it's called douchery at most.
I'm confused too, that exchange took a really weird turn out of nowhere.
