what do you think about sexisim

Kind of a racism, isnt it?

In my opinion tho, there might be sexism, But this has not only caused men and women to move away from each other, but strangely enough, homosexuality has increased today. On the surface, it may seem that, for example, a homosexual man is anti-women and has an attraction to men, but in essence, a homosexual man has made his behavior, body, and mentality similar to the opposite sex.

However, sexism is another concept, I have no knowledge of it, so I just said something related, maybe it will be discussed.😁

but what were you thinking that you made this forum? Is sexism bothering you?

@Parsaa I'd say it's one of the things I hate the most. It's especially disgusting that they're indoctrinating the new generation with sexism under the guise of sigma alpha. In some countries, they do it under the guise of tradition. We're all human, and I don't think we need to belittle each other just because of our x or y hormones. 🙂

I'm sorry, WHAT? Usually religious integralist and heterosexual people hate gays! What are you talking about? Homosexuality is increasing and gay men are similar to women? WHAT?

It's funny that you said that you have no concept of sexism as you live in Iran! Do women have the same rights as men? Or they are oppressed in some kind of way? Can women walk around in public wearing whatever the f**k they want or not? I don't think so... So may I present you... Sexism.

Oh lol talking like this is no different to sexism😁

Relating religious integrals to this is even sexism.

Dont want to be so offensive tho, you are right, maybe i wrote what i wanted to say a little weird or bad. But sometimes its not about the “rights”, in Iran women can wear anything, and those hijab things are for years ago, but do women wear bikini in street in one day? Women have the culture to wear like this here, you cant change it.

Now, talking about rights in law: yes unfortunately women dont have some rights in law like the children is father’s in law, while it shouldnt be. But also, in our law, we care about women so much: no army for women, in a marriage women shouldnt make money, its all on husband’s shoulder, and even, if the husband takes too hard on her, she can make the guy give him so much money with only one contract. Although i cant say we are living the freedom and women are equal to men, not at all. But the respect for women are alot, and i will never accept the opposite.

And, even if you are right that i should know about sexism as a person living in theocrat country whose leaders are “wild muslims”, hell yeah i always hear women talk about it, and even those riots and protests in 2021 was about women’s rights. But i cant say i know whats it with just hearing people, i should at least have read a book or article about it, so just take that sentence as a… self-deprecation?

Btw about that gay thing, dont you agree that gays are more likely to their opposite genders? If not, the why the fuck are they gay?😅 if im gay its normal for me to act like a woman and love men, whether its about my hormones or its about i believed it. Btw the hormone thing is also a very beautiful topic, i may make a forum about it😁

And dont you agree that homosexualism is increasing day by day? I dont say its a bad thing tho, i mean its just happening, i can prove it. You are a 39 year old women do you remember when you were 9? It would be like 1995, im sure 1 out of 5 people you talk to werent bisexual😅

anyway, if you dont agree any of my words again, just tell me, i will learn something from you😊

Come on! You forbid women to enter the army, you are not protecting them! In Italy we have many women serving our country Why don't you see it?! And what if the woman WANTS to go to work?! You are living in the middle age! Read books about all the women who tried to escape Iran and were killed by their husbands just because they thought about that! The fact that just 4 years ago your country needed protests for women's right says a lot about the need for a new guide and not a religious one. Maybe you don't even know but there was a girl who was forcibly taken by the police for not wearing the hijab and no one knows where she is anymore!

When I was little my parents knew many gays, I don't know what you are talking about! Nowadays they're not as hidden as before, that's the only difference.

You are too young and you are growing up in a very strict and religious country. Use the internet to educate yourself and you'll find a world very different from yours. Luckily.

I think that each person's gender is created by God and should be respected. Every individual has the right to live happily with his or her true gender.

You are right about the army. They just dont need to work but they can, my mom works all girls in my family works. You are not right about those women, they arent real stories, trust me. Im here, you there, its just wrong okay?

That protest was a very smart policy, as i said, women could never find their rights if that protest wasnt made by the government. Its NOT a conspiracy theory, its obvious that a government doesnt decide by two twitters of random people. It was also Israel’s plan to find their way into Iran’s culture, and they did it very well, but it turned out that they wasnt successful: in the 12 days war. They thought they have the control of our medias, THEY HAVE, but firewalls really did work for our gov, and it was the best for all. You cant imagine USA having control of middle east(it literally has right now except only Iran, tho it still has control of the whole world)😂.

those things that police took women are for a veryyyyy long time ago, when people were VERY VERY STUPID I STILL CANT BELIEVE, but i kinda understand, we were in war things were different.

haha i guess im well educated till now and while i hardly reject the way of our government i hardly reject yours too, both of it is wrong (im not against women rights im talking generally!!!!)

our mindset of liberty is way different, maybe because im kinda against liberalism and that stuff? (And you are living in it🙃) but i respect your opinions, and i will of course think of them.

Hello @sahraxdx, nice question anyway! for me, and for many people, Sexism is detrimental to both genders, both directly and indirectly. For example, the patriarchal system practiced in many countries. By definition, sexism is prejudice or discrimination based on gender, affecting not only women but both genders. Sexism can also refer to behaviors, conditions, or attitudes that foster stereotypical social roles based on gender, and the belief that one gender is superior to the other. Sexism typically involves unfair treatment, judgment, or restrictions on rights simply because someone is male or female (or a specific gender).

Chronologically, sexism arises from social and cultural constructs that position one gender as unequal and superior. This is despite the fact that both men and women are essentially equal. What differentiates individuals is based solely on their preferred lifestyles and beliefs.

Men can engage in sexist behavior toward women, but if gender-based prejudice is perpetuated and fosters hatred, the sexism can escalate into misogyny. Conversely, women who are sexist toward men and thus incite hatred, whether verbally or nonverbally, fall into the category of misandry.

On the topic of sexism, I've encountered people who misunderstand sexism and make statements that someone who has a type or standard in choosing a partner is sexist, but this thinking is wrong. Having a type/standard in a partner is not sexist. Having a type or standard in a partner (e.g., liking someone who is tall, diligent, intelligent, or has a particular hobby) is an individual preference, not gender-based discrimination.

Preference here refers to what you find personally attractive, and it doesn't automatically demean or limit the rights of others (unless that person at first already has low self-esteem, but then throw the blame on you as your personal preference is harm them, be aware, cause it's just a manipulation to make you feel guilty bcs you reject them). As long as the standard doesn't demean or reject someone solely because of their gender, it doesn't constitute sexism.

For example, 'A' (Person) is heterosexual, and a gay person likes him. However, because 'A' has a different sexual orientation, 'A' can simply say he's straight, without demeaning the gay person. This can be sexist if the rejection has a gender element. For example, 'A' rejecting gay people because they are weak, disgusting, woman-like, too girly etc. That's sexist, but if he said it's just a difference in orientation, then it's not a problem.

And why do people sometimes mistake preferences for a form of sexism? Because, due to a vague understanding of the definition, many assume all forms of "differentiating" mean discrimination, even though personal differentiation is different from systemic discrimination. Furthermore, many people are overly sensitive or overly intrusive about gender issues. Sometimes, while sensitive about equality, people consciously or unconsciously confuse the personal and social contexts, which can lead to biased statements. Furthermore, in the context of sexism, many people lack a clear understanding of the term power dynamic (a term used to describe how power, influence, or control is shared and exercised in a relationship between two or more parties—whether in a personal, social, or systemic context). Sexism is closely related to power relations (e.g., patriarchy/matriarchy), while preferences don't always involve power imbalances.

In short, sexism means demeaning, hindering, or limiting people because of their gender. Personal preference in choosing a partner is personal taste, not discrimination, as long as it doesn't generalize and demean an entire gender.

Below is a table explaining of why sexism are different from having personal preference:

and If you want to know if someone is toxic or no, try looking at their patterns when viewing or responding to any issues. If they're endup bringing 'gender-based' statement (even though they weren't attacked, completely out of nowhere making that statement, yes they actually are being sexist), like throwing hateful speech without research data, or discriminating people because they do not meet the gender standards that apply in society, well, they're definitely toxic. Be aware, there are so many people who say they respect everyone but they are still sexist.

Cause i believe a forum created solely for exchanging ideas, enabling those who don't know to become knowledgeable, and not as a venue for endless debate ))
