I'm just going to put it out there: There is no such thing as reverse Sexism/Racism, because by definition, the terms go both ways.
[quote]sex·ism
sekˌsizəm
noun
1. prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination, on the basis of sex.[/quote]
A woman being promoted over a man, purely because the boss favours women is Sexism.
Not "Reverse Sexism"
Just Sexism.
[quote]fem·i·nism
feməˌnizəm
noun
1. the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men.[/quote]
Feminists believe that females should be equal to males, and I completely support this endeavour, but somewhere along the way, sexists got confused.
Many Pro-Female Sexists call themselves feminists, and dream of a society where Females are supreme. They refer to this as "role reversal"
It is not reversal though, for in a reversal, they would assume the role of men.
In the united states, as in most First-World countries, both sexes are equal before the law, therefore, to reverse the roles at a legal level, would be an even exchange of 1:1.
Let us, though, assume that these roles were switched on a [i]social[/i] level.
Women opening doors for men, taking the check at dinner, lifting heavy things, etc.
I don't like the sound of that, and neither does any Sexist., or feminist.
I would like to believe that these duties should not fall solely on either sex, but rather, should be shared, as well as traditionally female duties.
In conclusion, Jay is a retard.

Letting feminist redefine the definition of what racism and sexism is, is like letting NAMBLA getting to decide on the age in consent laws.
