Re: Does it make me sexist against my own gender...
(Anonymous) 2014-03-30 03:31 am (UTC)(link)Look, we've all had bad experiences with people, but letting bad experiences taint our expectations of whatever group those jerks belonged to as a whole isn't great and I'm sure you know this, so I don't know why you're asking. That's what stereotyping is, after all?
Or look at it this way: I'm sure you've got some habits or quirks that might rub someone else the wrong way. Do you expect to represent the whole of whatever group you belong to? Like, if you were a Chinese woman and you did [insert annoying thing here] would it be okay for people to assume that every Chinese woman is going to do the same thing because it's a monolithic group?
Yes, our previous negative experiences make us wary. But it's your responsibility to try and keep an open mind in spite of that unless you're okay with stereotyping and being a bigot. I'm very sorry if that sounds harsh, but I get a little impatient when topics like this come up because it usually only happens with minorities. Very rarely do people say ooooh, I had a middle aged white guy boss who was a real asshole, so I don't want to work with any of THEM again...
