Is all sexism wrong?
Depends on the definition of sexism. There are some strains of feminism, particularly those prominent in the media today and related to radical and queer theory, that argue that the maintenance of the concept of gender /gender norms is inherently sexist, as it ensures a dichotomy which is used to maintain patriarchy through "masculine" norms of control and domination. These theories often cast masculinity as a strategy for maintaining male dominance. Thus, the very idea of masculinity is inherently linked with the existence of sexism. Personally, I find this definition of sexism to be really harmful, as it gives men and women, even avowed femininists, carte blanche to attack typical male insecurities while at the same time arguing that a woman suffering distress based on female insecurities is a mark of patriarchal oppression. Given that we really do not know to what extent male and female behavior is innate, it seems equally wrong to attempt to destroy any concept of gender norms because "it's just a social construct" as it is to force women into childbirth because "it's natural for women to be mothers." If your definition of sexism assume that gender itself is sexist, then no, I wouldn't say all sexism is wrong.

OH MY GOD THANK YOU.
Nothing has frustrated me more than seeing this unfold and you so succinctly put it words as for the why. The fact that gender theory is the crux of the popularized debate is abhorrent. The lack of evidence is implicit in the title - "THEORY."
Plus it frames masculinity as wrong in a double bound fashion and creates a circular argument.
>women are oppressed because of masculinity.
>men are insecure because of masculinity.
The ideology gets cherry picked by normal girls and makes for laughable western women who don't understand the ridiculous nuances of feminist theory and just prop themselves up as a victim without merit.

I see now.
So arguing is a fools errand with a lukewarm feminist. If they're carrying the banner of feminism their plan is working.
How do you uproot the cancer considering this?

Yes arguing with females is a fool's errand in general. The most effective strategy is to focus on becoming the best man you can be because the irony is that even the most diehard feminist will instinctively demure when confronted by a strong man. Feminism is popular today because most men are emasculated.

>Yes of course! The students are actually teaching the teachers! Those poor professors being ruthlessly manipulated by the conniving undergrads!
Shill harder.
No. Anal-sexism is very right.

I did that for a while, got good returns with being a better man.
But found myself close to a "feminist" now and its grating on my soul.

The best way to confront a feminist is with the Socratic Method. Just keep asking her questions about views. Because feminist views are fucking crazy, eventually you'll catch her contradicting herself. The important thing is to not really state your views on things, otherwise she'll probably just write you off as part of the 'patriarchy' or whatever.
