If a woman discriminates against a man purely because he is male, then yes, that woman is being sexist.

If a random woman says "all men are stupid arrogant pigs" then she is being casually sexist.
If a recruiter is hiring for a company with a mandate that says they will automatically reject any male candidate, or if a government introduces a law that applies only to men, then that is institutional sexism. It's the position of power that makes the distinction and that's why the distinction is important. Women can be and frequently are sexist. Ethnic minorities can be and frequently are racist. It is still relatively rare that either women or ethnic minorities are collectively in positions of power in order to be able to engage in institutional sexism / racism. That is the problem. That's what highlights the imbalance and that's why defining the difference is actually important... So that the actual discrepancies don't get lost under the nonsensical ideas that black people "can't be" racist and women "can't be" sexist. |

Accuracy is not pedantic, especially not when there is a perfectly acceptable term for what you're describing. But yes, we do appear to be going in circles.

yes it is, if the woman owns a company, and discriminates against male employees for being male, that is absolutely institutional sexism.
or if we are talking about a school with majority female teachers and male students are treated differently because they are male in that school which has majority females in power, that is institutional sexism. minorities can still have institutional power, and be an institutional majority.

That's awful that they made her apologise.
I don't think her reaction was bad at all. |

ummm, wtf. put it in context dude, she was talking about donald trumps anti-mexican words, the best she could come up with is that we need them to clean toilets? of course it's offensive. and there was a latina there when she said it that spoke up right away. rosie perez. and kelly has since apologized because she realized how offensive it was to say. it's just cringe worthy and offensive...
