I know I shouldn't post on CD while angry, but I'm going to do it anyway.

You're looking at it too broadly. That was a specific reply to Karthik's image. A very useful image with a lot of information, that was unfortunately being viewed in a very one-dimensional way. I pointed that out.

One of the classic techniques of the anti-feminist and women's rights groups is to always turn every conversation towards the men. Focusing on just the men in every conversation and ignoring the women is misogyny because you are saying that men and their issues are more important than women and their issues. An English teacher would be able to explain this much better than me.

I don't find that insulting.

You said there is nothing wrong with excluding your coworker, presumably on the basis of gender. How is that not insulting? However, that is not nearly as bad as you saying "Do you honestly think you have the same definition of fun as them?." HOW DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND HOW SEXIST THAT IS? First of all, you don't know the OP or her coworkers, how do you know what any of their definitions of fun are? YOU DON'T!! You are assuming that she does not like the same things as them SOLELY ON THE BASIS OF HER GENDER. Furthermore, you are not making a general statement about men and women, you are saying it about a real person.

Any elementary schooler would be able to tell you people have freedom of choice in association.

Rude: offensively impolite or ill-mannered.
Legal: permitted by law.

HOW DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE TWO WORDS. Yes, you have the freedom of association to not hang out with someone, just like I have the freedom of speech to call it rude. No one is going to arrest those kids for excluding someone, but it doesn't mean they aren't horrible people for doing it.

Prejudice definition: preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience.

Okay give me your reason or actual experience, not just that men and women are biologically different, but that it is the largest influence on who they are as a person.

Using biology as an explanation for gender differences isn't based on reason? Well I'll be.

You are defining women by their sex and saying that they have limitations because of their gender. Research the women's suffrage movement, you will see a lot of the same arguments being used. Once again someone else can explain this much better than me, but it shouldn't be that hard for you to understand.
