[Versus]

Well, to start, it's obscenely selfish to see all of that and immediately react like you're a victim. All of that isn't about you. Even when someone treats you terribly, it still isn't about you. If you said half the things that were said to you, FEW people would call you a pig, but most would either not argue with you or would actually APPLUAD you. But when a women does it, it's the end of the fucking world, right?

It's not for you to determine what is a "genuine" mistreatment of women and what is somebody "complaining." How you understand sexism is not automatically the default, and again, you're exercising male privilege to think from a position like it is. You don't experience sexism. How are you in a position to define something that you've never had to deal with?

And then after defining "legitimate" sexism, you wiped your hands of it like you have no part in it. But that couldn't be further from the truth. You benefit from sexism, you enable sexism, and you perpetuate sexism. Just because you didn't personally sexually assault or marginalize women doesn't mean you aren't advantaged because other people do. Our entire culture is built on those advantages and when you deny that A) it's manifestations are still present, B) deny that those manifestations which aren't as present don't still have long lasting effects, and C) blanketly absolve yourself of any of that responsibility, YOU are participating in sexism!

Oh. And you acted like that thing you did a few years ago makes you clean. That goes on the bingo card.
