2. Attitudes, conditions, or behaviors that promote stereotyping of social roles based on gender.

3. The question isn't "What is Sexism".
The answer for that is stated fairly well in post #1.

The question is "What will get you accused of sexism?". The answer for that is far more complicated.

5. Definition of sexism -
Choosing a female running mate on a major party presidential ticket solely because she's a female and because you think women voters are so stupid that they think any female candidate is interchangeable with another.

6. Anything that comes out of Bill O'Reilly's mouth
The way he treats females on his show is the very definition of sexism.

8. We don't yet have a socially agreed-upon idea of what constitutes sexism...
which causes the disconnect between acts of sexism and denials that an event of sexism has occurred.

13. Just to allay confusion then...
Edited on Sun Aug-31-08 04:32 AM by MilesColtrane
Is it OK to say you'd like to have sex with an actress/actor?

The first or second message ever posted in the Lounge was probably a picture, and it included the phrase, "I'd hit it".

Specifically which professions are off limits, just politics?

And, is it OK for females to objectify men, but not the other way around?

We need rules dammit!!
