It’s Only Sexist When Men Do It
Below is a clip that takes a look at sexism in America.
Language Warning: This clip contains vulgarity. If you are offended by it, please skip it.
Parental supervision advised for those below 18 years of age.
Beyond the language, the clip does highlight an interesting point, and that is the double standard in viewing sexism.
I personally feel that sexism and double standards goes both ways, but are we as a society really so lenient towards the fairer gender? Or are we not fair enough?
Rational vs Emotional Types
There are rational people and there are emotional people.
Emotional people base their decisions and actions on feelings, emotions, gut feelings.
Rational people base their decisions and actions on reason and logic … or so they say.
Me thinks ….
Rational people base their decisions and actions on gut feelings, emotions and mood, but rationalises them through reason and logic.
r
Emotional people just cannot be bothered to rationalise their gut feelings, emotions and mood.
I am so going to get hate mail for this post!
