Comment on Why are male social workers so different?
xmunk@sh.itjust.works 7 months agoYou need more than two to make sweeping observations about the whole population… if two of them were assholes then those two are assholes. Don’t move the goal posts.

I think we're saying the same thing?
But separately, yes it is possible for men in general and women in general to behave differently. Sexism is when you judge an individual based on generalizations about gender. So it would still not be right to avoid male case workers just because other male case workers you've worked with were assholes, even if it were true that male case workers are more frequently assholes! Judge people for who they are, not the class they belong to.

I guess I misread your comment as being sarcastic in an awful way (i.e. two cases can’t be sexism but with a third you’d have definite proof). ADHD can do that sometimes so my apologies!

Ironic how one gotta from pointing out assumptions based on internal fictions can lead to incorrect and often overblown external reactions… to blaming ADHD for the same. 😜🤌🏽
