15. And you are a sexist, how?
I am so damn angry that we somehow have gone back to the the '60's version of feminism. That wersion NEEDED people like Gloria, Today, we don't.


I suppose I will get tossed under the bus...

You are so far from being a sexist it isn't even funny. I am a feminist. You paying for my dinner does not a sexist make you.
For the love of god, can we get beyond this shite?

If we are truly feminists, we need to stop rebuking random acts of kindness. SOMETIMES, a person holding a door, or paying for dinner is just that, a nice thing.

IF you find yourself in that situation, offer to pay for dinner yourself.

Most people who are concerned with such things will gladly be happy for you to pay.

Sexism is not about who holds a door or pays for dinner.

O...
K&R :)
