Is this a legitimate concern/prediction or just casual sexism?
If two men were at each other's throats a casual "they're gonna end up kicking the shit out of each other, bet" wouldn't be entirely unexpected. Why do you think it's sexist?
@RGB3x3
Some people like to see (and encourage) "catfights".
Watching people pummel the shit out of each other has been a source of entertainment for humanity since the first two people did it.
And you can't imagine someone wanting two female-bodied people to fight for reasons that differ from why they'd want to see two male-bodied people fighting? Sure, sure you can't. ✌🏿
How is it sexism? People are expecting Elon And Zuck to fistfight.
It's actually more predictable for men to get in fistfights with each other.
It would be sexist if people thought they wouldn't just because they're women.
