It’s kind of like how some people think they “can’t be racist” because they never say the N word in mixed company and they have that one black acquaintance, even as they perpetuate racist systems. Similarly, “you can’t call me misogynistic, I love women! As long as they stay in the kitchen amirite boys? Haha just kidding. Now where’s my dinner?”
Yes, in this situation a “racist” is the right word i.e. a person with prejudice and stereotyping based on a race. So we need exactly word like that, just for the gender/sex. And I was thinking, “misogynist” doesn’t fit the definition, but do we have some word like that? And then I said to myself, well yes we do - “sexist” - am I right? “Sexist” is the word that describes this right? I mean I’m just brainstorming ideas here, feel free to correct me
