Sure, there's even a name for that kind of factors: sexism. That's the reason pay gap is a problem that is talked about but life expectancy gap isn't.

Feminism was supposed to fix sexism not to reinforce it, though.

Well, yes, in the end it's just art critique. But even that should be a topic that you can discuss without being labeled as chauvinist the moment you disagree.

Wow, it sounds like perhaps you have been called a chauvinist for expressing these same opinions before! Perhaps instead of blocking out that critique you can meditate on it. To be honest, you are hitting all of their talking points.

I didn't, as I said I live in a very conservative country and I'm considered extreme left-wing here :) I've been called communist and libtard on the other hand :) I don't particularly care because I don't depend on my reputation for living like scientists and youtubers do.

But I've seen people like Thunderfoot called such names and dismissed on first sight and I don't think that's fair.
