How is that sexist? I agree it sounds sexist, but is the content actually sexist?
I mean, we've already got our pitchforks out, fuck it
OP is racist!!
The decision to gender only the victim is questionable.
The argument doesn't sound as convincing this way:
A Smith and Wesson puts the daintiest of assailants on an equal field with the burliest of women.
that is not a resonable test in this situation.
Dont use 'woman' as an adjective. No need. Just use dainty/frail vs. burly.
Okay, but they did. I see how it sounds sexist, but how is it actually sexist? Dainty women do exist, and are on average, more dainty than dainty men.
IMO introducing gender only to use traditional sex sterotypes to frame the discussion is sexist.
Well, using the stereotype is to reinforce their point. It's a argumentative tactic. Like if someone said "eating greasy McDonald's or whatever", they could have just said "eating unhealthy food" but using specific imagery that plays into stereotypes gives a more emotional reaction.
And the sterotype they are playing into is sexist.
Maybe, I'm not sure where I fall on that. I view it basically the same as like the "fat American" stereotype- so is that xenophobic? Actually I would say that is worse, because being dainty isn't necessarily a negative trait to many people.
Hmm trying to shore up a losing argument with a flanking maneuver, using the same trite tactic, to nations instead of gender.
Going after redheads next?
It was an analogy? I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I wasn't saying its not xenophobic, I was asking if you thought it was, and saying if you think it is then I agree it is consistent for you to then say that OP's statement was sexist. Not every discussion is an argument, don't be so defensive.
It's not, @SpaceNoodle did a dumb take in an effort to pile on the guy
