This is not my personal opinion, I know Gen Z men who voted for Harris. But the voter demographics really speak for themselves, and maybe now people will look at the radicalization of young men as a serious (but solvable) issue.

And if you decline that premise, and just say “I’m not sexist, I treat everyone the same despite gender” you are somehow lying and trying to hide your sexism, which makes you a bad person or something.

We all have implicit biases, this is undeniable. Denying this doesn't make you a bad person, but you are denying reality. Having the biases doesn't make you a bad person either - again we all do. But you can't be mindful of them if you deny they exist.

As I said I reject that extremist premise.

I declare it an extremist idea because is a "Black or white" "All or nothing" thing. We all need to have those biases so "some people" feel better about themselves, one way or the other.

I do not have those biases. That's just it. The only thing I deny is a false accusation made by people that does not know me.

Because those people could came a say to me "see this behavior you had" that's a little sexist. But not, they are unable to point such behavior, they just assume it must exist, because it's part of their dogma.

I'm totally ok to just being pointed at something I made wrong and willing to correct it. But point it first. Not just assume that wrong behavior exist just because of a dogma.

And I also believe that accusing people of things they have not done just to fit a rhetoric is part of the cause of the disengagement of some collectives with the political mainstream left. Why would anyone would want to be near people that want humilliation, responsability and reparations for things one have just not done?

You are reading a lot into my comment about implicit biases that is literally just not there.

Have a good day!
