I'm worn out
I've been engaged in a lengthy discussion of sexism on a sports-related board. The cluelessness is staggering, the anti-feminism significant.
"But women don't complain when they are called 'girls.'"
"It would be boring if eveyone were politically correct like you."
"Women have important issues, like equal pay, and you make it hard for them when you talk about trivial things like language."
"The feminists are right about equal pay, but some of the other things make no sense."
"I'm not sure what you're talking about."
"Women are like peacocks. They are treated as special and that's just they way it is."
I should add that some feminists joined the discussion, which made things much easier for me. All the same, where is The Heretik? I need a drink.

Good for you. It's not always easy speaking up - having to explain things to people is a big energy drain sometimes. I'm sure you made some people stop and think.
Hope you had that drink.
Best,
Melinda

You know, the more I kept at it, the more feminists started showing up and helping me. That made it so much easier. But the overall cluelessness was very discouraging; they just don't get it unless it's about equal pay.
And yes, our local red ale was quite helpful.
