    It is not me, because there are so many objective examples in addition to the anecdotal ones.
    Yes, of course there is discrimination by schools, employers, and government. This is hardly news. The groups given advantage and disadvantage seem to be shifting in recent years, and I believe there will continue to be uncomfortable pendulum swings for a long time, unless someone waves a magic “equality wand” to erase human differences (I’m not saying that would be a good thing).

    I was mostly referring to the individual interpersonal interactions, where you said you have been criticized for holding doors open. That is bizarre. That part must be you. Have you asked female friends why they think you were criticized? (Assuming you were holding the door for women...) maybe you do it in a creepy way? Do you tip your fedora and grandiosely say “after you m’lady?”

    I thought the singular was "datum."

    Seems non-commutative.

    Pretty sure the singular is "cherry-picked bit of easily remembered information that confirms my bias, usually a political bias". Source: straight outta my aaassss. (Note: read that last word with a Danny Devito accent in mind. Aaaassssss.)

    I obviously meant SAT. What would we ever do without people like you?

    Nope. Definitely not me. I have seen these interactions happen more often with other people than I have experienced them myself. Maybe you are too old or sheltered in your routines to come across these situations.

    You see them more in California and New York than you do in the more normal parts of the world.

    My apologies to Rip and everyone. This one got a little out of hand. I do not intend to be confrontational with most of the people in this thread, because from what I can infer, they seem to be respectable people.

    This phenomenon also seems to be a generational issue. Over 35 or without a wide social circle (mine has included self-proclaimed communists, anarchists, intersectional feminists etc.) and you may not have not seen it much.

    I will be good now. I will ration my controversial statements for a while.

    Do you? I've been following this thread and wondering about that point. I live in the biggest city in the liberal, socialist paradise of Canadia. I have LGBT friends. I have never, ever, seen or heard of anyone getting shit for holding a door or assuming the gender of a stuffed animal. My experience has mostly been a live and let live vibe. I mean, obviously there are extremists of all stripes everywhere, but as a straight, white male who's lived here for 32 years and rubbed shoulders with (shut up, you know what I mean) some of the communities we're talking about here, I'd have thought I'd be as likely to encounter it as anyone. I just have a hard time imagining such experiences are so common, given my own complete and total lack of them. Never been to California or New York, though. Maybe they're truly next level.
