I don't understand why people absolutely need to make everything about man vs woman.
If it was a male model those people would have written exactly the same. If tomorrow comes out an article saying the same thing about bred pitt everyone would be suspicious about that being fake too
Since the two jobs are so disconnected from each other it sounds unlikely and they assumed it was some clickbait fake post, that's all.
I'm absolutely for equality and against any discrimination against women or any other category, but making this into a gender battle is ridiculous
It's only a "battle" because of people like you insisting sexism doesn't exist
Where exactly did I say sexism doesn't exist?
I'm just saying that crying wolf doesn't help neither the cause nor a healthy discussion
You're claiming people are finding sexism where none exists. This thread alone shows that the post is a magnet for sexism. It's not crying wolf. Your claim is a denial that it exists in at least one context where it's incredibly clearly a factor.
So yeah, I extrapolated your opinion to other cases like this. Probably because this attitude has been seen since sexism first became a concern in society. This thread, again, is illustrating that quite well.
