There is nothing, absolutely nothing wrong with adhering to masculine and feminine stereotypes to some degree, but basing your whole existence around them and making them the centerpiece of your being and lifestyle are unhealthy and stupid.

Sex-based racism? Don't you mean sexism?

Not all men are pigs who want to hoot and catcall (or worse) women.
Not all "illegals" are drug mules, who are trying to take our jobs AND our government benefits.
Not all Muslims are terrorists.
Not all Republicans are Nazis.
Not all Democrats are Commies.
All of this.

Uh... I've said from the get-go that evidence is my primary driver when it comes to everything. I don't (try not to) allow my bias to overwhelm my common sense.

Jester is just using common sense with his post.

You do realize that by calling people stupid that don't hold your exact opinion you are clustering/ othering people, right? I know you want to win the 'argument'. That's great. I'm only interested in the truth. I'm not interested in winning because I don't see it as a fight.
