"The Struggle to Speak Up: How Women are Pressured to De-escalate Sexist Incidents" (article)

This is serious. But I wonder how the stats stack up; men killed versus women killed, and if one is desiring not to be killed which sex is safest.

I suspect that "sexism" is more a progression of ideas and practices, than a simple you are or you aren't, two position matter.

As to the matter of de-escalation, or escalation of sexist incidents, both exist. Some matters, that really don't matter end up front page news, and law suits, while other more pressing and deserving matters are ignored.

I suppose that the matter has to be important to the woman involved. Not every woman wants to slog through a court action for the sisterhood.

So is Trump referring to Elizabeth Warren as "Pochahontas" sexist or just flat out hilarious?

Every statistical source I found was similar to this one. Men are murdered at alarmingly greater frequency than are women.

This is "speaking truth to power" in a very fundamental way.

Everything in this post is spot on.

"pour encourager les autres"

Exactly!

NEVER heard this argument before.

Mainly it's just stupid.

Women have been the recipients of special privileges and even venerated in the West since time began.

Why? She claims to be an Indian but has no proof of it.

So why call her Pocahontas? That's why it's stupid.

Meanwhile, there is plenty of proof that Trump lies at least as often as he changes his socks, so should we now call him "Pinocchio"?

And you've shown yourself to be a misogynist since you've been here.

What was your point again?
