i think you are now confusing sexism
with marketing women things to women and men things to men.

or feminism with the obvious fact that men and women are different.

I rather more think I'm confusing feminism with the idea that men and women aren't different.
Apparently I'm letting the side down if I don't want a career, fuck that, that's a man's game.

see now you are confusing feminism
with the idea that you would let the side down if you don't want a career, easy mistake.

Yeah I'm always making that one.
It does strike me though that modern women are expected to live up to both sets of ideals somehow.

i think you are confusing modern women with some idea of modern women now

That is sexism to begin with,
"women things" and "men things" implicitly supposes that men and women are different.

How can I put this more directly.

Men and women are different. Marketing people know this fact and exploit it. And it works.

now see, this is the crux.
you are confusing sexism with the fact that men and women are different.

But to say that IS sexist,
or at least to act on it is, it necessitates different behaviour towards one and the other, in other words discrimination.

i think you are confusing sexism with something else now

( Sir Sand GOBLIN ^popular page dis, Tue 25 Jan 2011, 18:43, archived)

I'm confusing it with discrimination on grounds of sex,
I don't know if I'm confusing confusion with something else now.

i think you're confused.
