Poll: sexism your veiws and opinions

[enzilewulf]

I am not sexist but will crack jokes on it for said lulz (like hacking a bunch of sights.. am I right?) Yet there is one thing I am ashamed to admit. I find that girl comedians except very view just don't really sound funny. mostly because they have to talk in some other tone of voice besides theirs. There is one in which I cannot remember her name but she talked regularly and it was funny as hell.

I know that I'm going to get a lot of shit for this but... I'm sexist in a lot of ways that I typically wouldn't admit.
I usually talk about how I would like everyone, every race and both genders to be equal but I'm a bit of a hypocrite when it comes to that. It isn't that I actively try to be sexist, it's just the way my brain sort of... works. I have a general dislike and wariness of one gender and a general preference for and liking for the other.
It's not the person, as I know everyone is different but it's more of the idea and thought that everyone of that gender should be that way.

That gender is male.
I generally can't stand a lot of men and despise masculinity.
Don't ask me why because it will only spark more hatred that I know is probably coming my way right now and you can call me a feminist **** all you like but I'm not feminist. I just happen to like the presence of women more than men and I generally can't stand being around overly masculine men. So it isn't so much the gender; it's the idea men should be one wan and women another that a lot of men (and in some instances women) share. That being said, I can't tolerate women who do nothing but accuse the male sex and generalise them to one type. Not everyone is like that but for some reason... there are people who can't wrap their head around that concept.

Now that my own personal opinion on the matter is out of the way, in terms of actual sexism.... well that's kinda been covered in posts before mine so I'll just let them have at it :3

Sexist in the sense that I think one sex is superior to the other? No.
Sexist in the sense that I think there are inherent differences between the sexes? Yes.

But then, I don't like having such a negative adjective applied to me just because I follow fact.

I'm totally sexist/realist. Men and women aren't the same. They don't even have an awesome Y chromosome... poor things

Hahahaha, brilliant.

OT: Short of biological differences (like periods, or erections, or breasts) I don't treat men and women differently. I treat people differently depending on how they act, and it is an outside influence that men are more likely to exhibit certain traits than women, and women are more likey to exhibit other traits than men. So I treat people as people, and statistics creates what could be construed as sexism, even though it isn't.

Notable molecular biologist Arn Lundquist, who was in charge of the hormone and drug testing for the Beijing Olympics, said in an official statement that there is no lab-testable scientific process currently in existence that can discern the difference between women and men at the most basic levels. It also occurs that (albeit rarely) there are men and women born with the opposite chromosomes of their birth-sex, but extensive testing shows that despite having opposite chromosomes, they possess hormone levels normal and consistent with their birth sexes. The basis upon which one's "legal sex" is determined is by genitals, and due to the variations in genitalia (ambiguous, malformed, hermaphroditic, ect) it has actually been suggested that the "binary" be thought of more as a spectrum. I mean, hell, all it takes to have one's legal gender identity changed is surgery and hormone therapy? A "what measure is a man" reference would be timely.
The line between men and women is basically a line that has been drawn in the sand by people. Take a Sociology of Sex and Gender Class sometime. It will blow your mind.

My opinion on sexism is that I am against it and find it repulsive. However, my own bias, however pervasive it may be, is something that I must seek to overcome as a human being. To me, this means relentless analysis and skepticism of all things relating to sex and gender. That is to say, if I discover I am a sexist (which I already determine myself not to be) will likely be a bit traumatizing, and will seek to do anything that I can to combat it.
I consider myself an agent of change.

s3xim r bad!! Really, I have nothing further to dispense beyond the platitudes of 'I judge people as individuals', 'people shouldn't be defined/have to confine to gender roles' etc. I'd like to think we've kind of moved passed that point as a society. So no, I wouldn't say I'm sexist but I tend to have an easier time getting to know/have more in common with other males simply as I've found they tend to be more prevelant within geek culture.
