Reply to comment by Desolecontra in TIL a woman was once drafted by the NBA but had to turn the team down bc she was pregnant. She’s also in the hall of fame. by Desolecontra

That’s why I said oh boy, no matter the logic behind your statement I knew it wasn’t gonna be received well.

If you’d said she’d be good in the NBA you’d probably be wrong. If you’d said she’d be bad, you’d be perceived as sexist. There was no way to win here.

I know I know. I’m not sexist at all. Just being honest. But I get it.

The first step in being the best anti-sexist that you can be is to accept that you are, in fact, sexist. We all are to some degree, no way we could grow up in a sexist society without absorbing some of it

Good point. Actually there’s no debating that.
