Yes

or

No

1. Do a poll, you're a star member...be creative!

Yes or No depends on who is responding...same sex as offender... probably seen as a joke

From opposite sex NO!

2. No. They get super defensive. nt

3. I've never met one who did.

4. No. Because in their sexist minds, they don't see what they do as sexist.

You could say the same thing about racists.

5. I'm doing this to make a point in answer to your question

Does boston bean like being told that the proper word is they're and not their? My point is that we humans often will get defensive when we perceive an attack. Our positions become more entrenched. What does work sometimes is for the person to get a view from another perspective. Maybe it will be sexism by a friend towards wife, sister or daughter.

BTW: I don't care that you wrote their instead of they're. And when I mix up then and than we will be more than even (or is that then??).

7. Now you, boston bean are a human on a high plane of consciousness, bravo!

I would like to say that my wife, the love of my life, is from Connecticut where she assures me PERFECT English is spoken, not like in other states, especially Texas. I had a one day visit in Boston and fell in love with the city.

8. Hell, no!

Sexists think their misogyny is the natural order of things, so they'll spin being called out on their sexism as questioning nature.

I say they don't know their asses from their elbows what the hell the natural order is.
