More like it's uncommon to see in her work . If it were a random saying it then I'd say it's sexism but it's a whole medical practitioner who has probably seen countless births so if she is surprised it's because it isn't something they see all the time not because she's taking a jab at men or whatever.
I don't think it can just be labeled as sexism though because they haven't given a reason or trait that makes men not be there for their partners. Some are in the room but keep their distance, some are right next to their partner, some don't even make it into the room .
“I, a corrections officer for a region in which there is a statistically anomalously high black population, express surprise when it turns out that the black inmate turned out to be innocent all along, because usually I don’t happen to see that happen, given the fact that all my prisoners are post-conviction, and am phrasing this as ‘when your black inmate ends up released because it turns out the prosecution messed up and they were innocent all along’ with an image of my face very surprised but don’t worry it’s not racist because I legitimately see a lot of bad black people”
Edit: also, pointedly, other commenters are saying that in the original video it was actually s response to the man getting slapped for saying this, and not about the man saying this, so the actual original person wasn’t being sexist but the person taking the screenshot was just some rando
Black guy here and this is always the best comeback to that nonsense. Also just shows how normalized misandry is but people are still scared to be called racist lol
You’re so close. The best comeback is pointing out how when it’s done with black people statistics , you (rightfully) view it as racism. But when it’s done with men’s statistics, everyone thinks it’s justified instead of (rightfully) viewing it as misandry.
Oh good for you, I'm glad you find our way to clump half the population together in your head, and feel untouchable saying bad things about them. It was a stretch to get there, but you did it!
I don't view race and sex the same. There are no singificant biological differences between people of different races that account for those statistics. They are social and political problems. There are biological differences between men and women.
I think a lot of guys in this thread are being defensive and are unable to comprehend the simple fact of what you've said. It's a shame since I'm sure most of them would quickly call a woman emotional in similar circumstances.
Yeah you definitely aren't a generalizing asshole. The aggressiveness of your statement is definitely on the level of my very benign comment. I'm very glad you have no problem tapping into your emotions!
What biological differences are you referring to, genitals and hormones? And you'd say those things explain most of the differences between sexes? I'd say definitely not. That would be mostly social and political. That seems about as biological as a black person having darker skin than a white person. In other words, it's not enough to really explain or help solve issues between races/sexes.
Advocating for biological essentialism isn't "nuanced" on any level in any context. That's the point of the analogies, but you'd say biological essentialism is fine when it comes to males? The difference is I don't think biological essentialism is ever okay. Whether you care about the morality is one thing, but it will also never reach the true answer of the source of sex/gender problems (or any problems) if biology is as deep as you go.
There's already a narrative that racial issues involve biological differences. The analogy is rather supposed to invite the idea that maybe biology isn't a satisfying justification for prejudice against males or any group. It has that cognitive dissonance if someone thinks it's okay to judge someone for being male. Race and sex are both some of the things we're born with and have no choice with. It has to be deeper than that.
Hey, do you think black guys tend to prefer to be told that they’re statistically more likely to make for worse parental figures because they’re black or because they’re men? Like, on average, which of their demographics do you think they prefer their chances of ending up a deadbeat be attributed to, ya know?
