Next chapter and verse, same as the first....
It's my first report, OMG DUN BE MEEEEN.
fangtsu posts in the LJ feminist comm about two sexism related issues he encountered at work: one involving his boss valuing fangtsu's opinion over that of a female coworker, and the other involving fangtsu having trouble finding a new job because he has long hair and wears earrings (i.e. "isn't manly".)
First comment:
You're a male, correct? If so, then this isn't sexism.
And they're off! Semantics arguments abound, dictionary definitions of sexism are trotted out not once, but twice, there are accusations of hatred of white men (which are, of course, denied) and the requisite threats to leave to community and go to the anti_feminism side of the Force.</a> 131 comments and counting. But THAT'S NOT ALL!
The wank continues in this post titled "Definitions of Sexism", which is, as we know, always a subject for calm and rational debate on this comm.
Not huge yet, but it can only grow from here.
Edit: Fixed the HTML WTFery.
