Hidden Sexism (lemmy.zip)
submitted 2 months ago by unknownman@lemmy.zip to c/rant@lemmy.sdf.org

I just started noticing lately that so many people unintentionally assume women can't do anything. For example, I've seen people applaud a girl after she dropped her motorcycle and picked it back up, as if they were amazed by it. I swear to God, people just straight up think that women are incapable of doing basic stuff. What's wild is that I've met quite a few women who actually enjoy this. It's so goofy because they are literally being viewed as less capable, yet they are happy about it. Then, you get criticized just because you didn't treat them like they were less. I'm a dude, but damn, this situation kinda vexes me. I mean sure, enjoy chivalry if you want, but getting shit on for not assuming you're less capable is so annoying. It's not even that I don't want to help, I mean I don't mind helping, if it's needed but like god damn, I can't read minds.
