I've liked to think in the past that I'm a fairly liberal guy, and I've never been accused of homophobia or misogyny in my life. But a recent event has made me think I might have an inherit anti-feminine side.
The event I'm talking about was a moment of thinking women have less rights, particularly in certain jobs. Please don't misunderstand this wasn't a conscious thought against women in certain jobs, it was just to do with a particular job that I thought must be a male one which turned out to be a female one. Is it wrong to instantly assume that a man must be filling that role? Doesn't that suggest at heart I'm no better than those men who keep women firmly down trodden? Does this make me a bad person?
I feel terrible, but I honestly thought the person in the confused.com logo was a dude.
