I cant really remember the point of this thread!! Its turned so much!

But you know what bugs me! The fact that people think sexism, racism, ageism, all these isms, are bad. A stereotype can often exist because theres a certain truth in it.

Take for example this crude analogy. Men are more violent than women, its a fact, they are the stronger of the two sexes and its undeniable they commit more voilent crimes.
So would you say I was sexist If I got on a bus, and chose the seat free beside the women, instead of the free one beside the guy? Surely its logical for me to pick the one beside the woman as its a 50/50 decision to make between the seats aside from the fact that women, in general, are far less dangerous!
A crap analogy I know.

I think people are far too sensitive these days. Im not sexist, or racist, but theres times where I, and everyone else, subconciously makes decisions based on the sort of logic I mentioned above and it gets branded as sexism or racism.

If you ask me, racism and sexism dont exist, or at least not how the definitions of those words deem.
