Wow. To assume that I am sexist from that comment is beyond ignorant. I typed as I normally do and in 90% of America it is the norm to type girl in that sentence. Maybe this is shifting but it is not sexist to type commonly used terms in certain contexts.
Do you genuinely think we should assume guilt on someone because their feelings are hurt? That's a dangerous path to go down and we have to rely on hard evidence or else witch hunts have real consequences.
It's not hard to imagine the tides turning and false acquisitions becoming as big as a problem as sexism.
PS. I am a firm believer in removing sexism from all cultures.
You're so non-sexist you're willing to be the bigger man and read her messages to make sure she didn't just get her feelings hurt and isn't being too emotional.
And call her a child, which is -- contrary your bullshit -- a deliberate insult. Unless you're in the habit of calling men who seem to be well over 25 boy. No? Didn't think so.
If you are genuinely interested in dismantling sexism, start by avoiding defensiveness when someone calls out your sexist behavior. If you don't even do that much, then how can anyone believe your claims about your own motives?
