No, its the "she was expressing sexism towards a man, that seem sexist" it is a classic yes, but i do very much hope i gets old and people in general stop being so sexistic

No its not about her speaking about her bad experiences, it is her projecting those experiences on unrelated people just because they share a gender with the person she had those bad experiences with.

There are no "men like me" since i am no man, and going around assuming people's gender like that is also bigoted, so you are doing a good twofeer by both defending sexism and doing some good old misgendering

It most certainly can be, when generalising a gender and then putting those expectations and discrimination on an individual. Just like the same kind of actions always have been and always will be sexist when done to any other gender.

It is bigoted to gender people you dont know though, and i doubt 99% of the people who are against sexism aimed at men are men, but misandristic people tend to think so often.

Sexism isn't somehow defined differently depending on what gender someone is sexist against, what are you on about?

When did I refuse to acknowledge that, we definitely live in a system with many patriarchal elements ingrained in it.

I dont ignore that, thats not the problem i am having, i think you might need to go back and read my comments again.

Do you think the bar for something to be sexist towards men is different than the bar for something to be sexist towards women or other genders?

I call women sexist for generalising and judging men for unrelated mens actions, just because they share a gender.

You to, hope you learned something and consider becoming a feminist, we fight against all sexism btw.

Say that to women who get so defensive at a small critique that they cry sexism
