Now IF a woman went in there and the same scenario played out we'd have a different case and one that would require additional facts. What is his basis for not supporting women's causes. He'd have a hard time selling that based on religion unless he was Muslim.
This hypothetical scenario has nothing to do with religion, it's not a trick question, it's not a "gotcha" you dread so much. It's just good ol' fashioned sexual discrimination.
If a person exhibits a sexists attitude (prejudice) they are a sexist. If they act on their sexists attitude then they discriminated based upon sex. This situation is reminiscent of Sovereign Nation who was blatantly racist. Guy advocated creating safe zones for whites only (which is racist) which you deemed not racist, but merely an "extreme opinion." Either you aren't capable of recognizing discrimination or you're unwilling to admit it when you do.
As I was leaving lunch today, a 60-something, possibly homeless man with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth asked me, "Hey, you got a light, bro?"
I stopped, turned back, looked him in the eyes, "No, sorry I do not." Turned back around to walk to my truck when I hear, "Well, **** you then." Do you know what my reaction was? Nothing. Just kept on walking. Completely ignored the guy. That's honestly where I'm at with you. It was like a little epiphany sent from god telling me, "You know some people just aren't worth the effort." From Sovereign Nation to Lucie to Tommy to Sloppy, I've never considered adding anyone to the ignore list. But, I guess old dogs can learn new tricks. Bu-bye.
