[quote=Anonymous]Frequently it's just that the lived experiences of people are different, and often (including men) aren't able to get out of their own state of mind (frequently called privilege). When we were dating, my husband didn't understand why I wanted to cross the street when I saw a large group of men in an alley when we were walking at night in Rome. My lived experience told me this was not safe, and for him it didn't occur to him to think about it this way. I suspect that most women would have understood this from my point of view immediately. I wouldn't say that all men are obtuse when it comes to sexism (and you can add in racism, homophobia, etc), but it stems from both privilege or a lack of lived experience. [/quote]
