> In my experience everyone's somewhat sexist, and the people you need to worry about the most are people who think they're immune to it.

Everyone has a bit of bias, that's not the same thing as being sexist.

I view sexism as an example of the extreme end of the spectrum of bias, not a label for the spectrum itself.

That is how society views the word too. An accusation of sexism is enough to terminate someone, refuse them career opportunities, and ostracize them from further friendship. Social acceptance is everything to many people, and making one a pariah would end their world.

Sexism isn't viewed as something 'everyone' has. It's viewed as something evil people have, and once branded with it, you will always be suspected of secretly holding it in your heart.
