Yes, I do think singling out and excluding someone entirely on the basis of a characteristic they cannot control and should not affect the situation is incredibly rude. I've had it happen to me many times, and it sucks. You probably have as well.

If it was about race, we'd call it racism. So why isn't it sexism when its about sex?

Can you quote a scientific study in support of this "theory," which shows such glaring differences that it's worthwhile for everyone to actively work to create/maintain a situation where it's difficult or practically impossible for people of a certain gender to get careers in certain fields or are you just trying to rationalize your own biases?

A majority of women identify as feminists.
