I can't believe I have to say this, but it's 2019, so let's go: "sexism against men" and "racism against white people" is THE SAME AS "homophobia against straight people", "Islamophobia against Christians", "transphobia against cis people". THE SAME. These words have meanings!

And to be clear, not just the history but current use too.

As do respected dictionaries, like the OED:https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/sexism …

Yes, it says "typically", not exclusively. Which is objectively true. My core belief is that the moment your idea of equality involves shitting all over cishet white men for being born that way, is also the moment that you're no longer striving for equality.

Some leaps and bounds here about my ideology. But I'll leave this thread since I think you're not interested in my actual views and ideas. Have a nice Sunday.

I'll clarify tho: "by leave this thread" I mean I think you're going off on a tangent here that is baseless since if I was so unpleasant and anti-men in a irrational way I'd have trouble interacting with all my coworkers and friends. I want to stay civil/give you time to think.

I love when I see feminists use arguments that they themselves would laugh at if other people used them in an equivalent manner. "I have a black friend, so how can I be racist?" I don't know you or whether you're anti-men, I just find the argument humorous.

Also the actual definition you put forward to prove your point proved the opposite, if anything. The word 'typically' conveys the meaning that it isn't exclusively, and hence you're wrong that the meaning of the word is exclusively about sexism twoards women.

I like that a feminist source was used for the definitions. It's like quoting a theologian. These ism are pretty easy. Sexism is the belief males and females are different AND one of them better. Racism is the belief races are different AND some are better and worse.

It's literally the opposite. Sexism is primarily anti-male, racism is primarily anti-white.
