What's your gender? || When women do stuff like cross the street to avoid a man, classify behavior from men as more threatening than they do from women, would you consider this to fall under the category of sexist behavior?

No, because men often pose a danger to women. Not all men, but enough that women have evolved a spider sense to warn themselves. Sexism only exists for *unfounded* bias.

I remember walking through the city one night and came up behind a woman. When I passed her she screamed and winced in fear of me. At first I was like “wtf lady I’m not here to rape you I’m just walking” but like two seconds later I thought to myself “meh, I get it”

Sexism is defined by prejudice and discrimination; I don't think that women who do this hate men. It is not done out of spite, it is done out of self-preservation. I'd be curious to hear why so many other men consider it sexist.

Is it sexist to not want to be alone with a man you don’t know? Is it sexist to never let a man come to my home when selling something on Kijiji and meet in a public place instead? I don’t think so, I think it’s sensible.

Answered "Male | No" I do think they're pre-judging men on the basis of their sex, but I think they're correct to see men as more threatening than women, and so don't think there's anything wrong with it. Technically sexist, but not what people typically mean by sexist, so "no"
