Sexism is still a big problem in the world.
First a little about one of my ‘other’ interests. I debate online. I have been a debater for a number of years. The subject I debate on is not important but it’s a subject that gets a lot of interest and sometimes heated arguments as well.
I present as Suzy, a female. I think this is O.K. because I am transgender and also there have been many authors that write under a pseudonym, sometimes of the opposite sex.
Its been fascinating how I have been treated over the years by many men on debating sites.
It usually goes something like this. I make a comment but keep it simple. I then start getting replies like ‘you need to do your research darling’ or go ask you husband’.
Sometimes I am even ignored my all the men debating on the subject.
So then I crank it up a bit by making my next comment highly scientific and impossible refute by the ‘know it all’ men.
So what happens next? I get ignored and other ‘men’ take my argument and use it for themselves.
Makes you feel a little sorry for the woman out there doesn't it..
