Okay so to review: you do admit that you're sexist because you exist in society but don't want to be accused of being sexist?

Also zorpner was not asking for forgiveness, that was a rhetorical flourish.

Which is actually a big part of what the article is talking about: the apparent inability of some people to accept that humans don't speak in Z-notation or something.

Uhm, I was trying to be funny. You're assuming I have the social skills of a potato.

I suppose what I've said is pretty clear. I'm no saint and I'm sure I am in some ways a little sexist (although I hope less than average). Yet I don't want to be called especially sexist, or have a group I might be part of be accused of being fundamentally sexist. Sexism is a spectrum.
