Here are a few useful extracts from just one of the sources I linked, in case you're incapable of digesting anything that doesn't come in small chunks:
Sexism can be a
belief that one sex is superior to or more valuable than another sex. It imposes limits on what men and boys can and should do and what women and girls can and should do.
....
Sexism in a society is most commonly applied against women and girls. It functions to maintain
patriarchy, or male domination, through ideological and material practices of individuals,
collectives, and institutions that oppress women and girls on the basis of sex or
gender. Such oppression usually takes the forms of economic exploitation and social domination. Sexist behaviours, conditions, and attitudes perpetuate
stereotypes of social (gender) roles based on one’s biological sex. A common form of
socialization that is based in sexist concepts teaches particular narratives about traditional gender roles for males and females. According to such a view, women and men are opposite, with widely different and complementary roles: women are the weaker sex and less capable than men, especially in the realm of logic and rational reasoning. Women are
relegated to the domestic realm of nurturance and
emotions and, therefore, according to that reasoning, cannot be good leaders in business, politics, and
academia. Although women are seen as naturally fit for domestic work and are superb at being caretakers, their roles are devalued or not valued at all when compared with men’s work.
The description fits you like a glove, Jan.
By the way:
The extreme form of sexist
ideology is
misogyny, the hatred of women. A society in which
misogyny is prevalent has high rates of brutality against women—for example, in the forms of
domestic violence,
rape, and the commodification of women and their bodies. Where they are seen as property or as second-class citizens, women are often mistreated at the individual as well as the institutional level.
And here's what feminism is about, in a nutshell:
The
feminist movement fought for the abolishment of sexism and the establishment of women’s rights as equal under the law. By the remediation of sexism in institutions and culture, women would gain equality in political representation, employment, education, domestic disputes, and reproductive rights.
And here's something about the "men's movement" backlash:
In a cultural backlash, the term
reverse sexism emerged to refocus on men and boys, especially on any disadvantages they might experience under
affirmative action. Opponents of
affirmative action argued that men and boys had become the ones discriminated against for jobs and school admission because of their sex. The appropriation of the term
sexism was frustrating to many feminists, who stressed the systemic nature of women’s oppression through structural and historical inequalities. Proponents of
men’s rights conjured the notion of misandry, or hatred of men, as they warned against a hypothesized approach of a female-dominated society.
Now, Jan. Do you want to double down and reveal yourself as a misogynist or a "men's rights" sympathiser, as well as a sexist man, or you do want to publically disavow your support of any of the three?
