In your ultimate paragraph, you said, "While sexuality certainly is a pleasant topic for discussion,  I hope that the staff at TYT learns that their distinguishably sexist comments not only are not "progressive" but serve to weaken the efforts of true progressives to create a more just society." I inferred from this statement that those who make sexist comments are not true progressives. Who judges what is and is not sexist? I also wanted to know if other things disqualify you. I like guns; does this make me a false progressive?

In your penultimate paragraph you summarize my failings. I'm not an objective judge, so let's move on.

(3)Friction is inevitable because men and women are different in today's world, and it takes significant effort to understand that which is different from you. The difference is there now, so the friction is inevitable.

(2)True, but I figured out lots of things rather easily. Those were things that were consistent, so I simply had to learn the rules and follow them. People, however, are all different, so there are no rules to learn. Therefore, I can reach a natural understanding of math, basketball, or fish, yet am often confused by women.

(1)This is the issue at its core. If the world as a whole today was fair and just, then everyone would be raised with empathy for the opposite sex, and this would be a non-issue. However, we are nowhere near there yet; society itself imprints the prejudices, though one can obviously transcend them.

None of this is the point. There is nothing wrong with making jokes about women, possible even sexist jokes. That is not sexism; that is naughty humor. Sexism is serious. It's half the women in South Africa being raped within their lifetime; it's male college graduates climbing ladders while the girls type and take dictation; it's my mom working a shitty job for ten years while a man would have been made management long ago.

P.S. This reads for more harshly than it sounds when I speak it; I'm not trying to be an anonymous internet asshole.
