.....by the majority of women. Remember, the majority only has to be 51%. There are big differences between a realist and a sexist. Just like there are differences between a racist and someone who is prejuduced.

BTW, women are (and should be) realists about men. If they aren't they get hurt. They're smart for being realists. I perceive that when men are equally skeptical of women's behavior, they're judged not as smart, but sexist.

Yes, there are differences between someone who is racist, and someone who is prejudiced, but not a very big difference:

Both entail an "irrational view of another group of people," so maybe this is not a good example for you to use to compare "realists" to sexists. That being said, both sexes benefit from BOTH sexes being realistic about the other, but no one benefits from gross generalizations, least of all the person making them. On a personal note, (if I may); I've read many of your other posts, and I don't think you are a sexist. I can tell you believe in equality for both the sexes, and you are here trying to work out some issues you've dealt with. (Unlike some other guys who are here to be abusive toward women, or have had bad luck in relationships and want to "take it out" on other women.) I don't see you doing that. However, I do think you've been through a bad relationship, and you're trying to "work through" what happened by picking people's brains here. Please just remember, not all women, or feminists, are like the woman who hurt you. Hope this doesn't offend.

I don't know about there being a difference between racist and racially prejudiced. If you prejudge somebody based on their skin color, that is racist.
Let's face it, you probably are sexist. Although, I agree that very often an honest, unbiased assessment will offend people. The truth hurts.
Also, keep in mind that if you repeatedly point out the ways the women are inferior to men but fail to point out the ways men are inferior to women, you are showing a sexist bias. Even if what you say is 100% provably true, your choices of which true statements to make can reveal a bias. That bias is probably sexist.

i do no longer think of those ALL classified ads objectify women persons (and you are the superb option some objectify adult males). you're additionally particularly the superb option on your factor approximately jealousy. My best subject is that persons start to have faith that girls persons or adult males who drink six sugary sodas and 6 beers and consume at Wendy's on a daily basis could look like fashions. they do no longer seem to be gonna look like that. The chix and cats on the classified ads are fashions and in all probability consume in basic terms eco-friendly issues and have been in makeup for hours in the previous shooting the advert that makes them look like large-surprising on a daily basis people. yet my puppy peave aside, you have a stable factor. Even the guy with the beer intestine watching soccer is being objectified. i assume this is in basic terms a neccessary ingredient of producing a stable advert in the eyes of a few sellers (and visitors)....and the adult males regularly do no longer care in the event that they're objectified, women persons are taught from the commencing to be on the look out. via ways, some women persons prefer to be objectified. i be attentive to them. bypass parent.

I've found the majority of women to be sexist against men. But when they do it they are considered "empowered" and "independent."

It's porabably because those women can't handle the truth. No one likes to hear the truth, they only listen to what they want to hear. I guess 51% (I'm sure it's more) don't like hearing the truth so they have to call names.
EDIT: just saw your new details. Well that's ANOTHER double standards women have.

Gee, I don't know. Maybe you should try being realistic about women for a change, and then you could find out.

i've found that when people lump others together in groups and then generalize them, the generalizations are prejudiced.
