Men Smiling at Women is Sexist, Study Concludes
Pundit Press ^ | 3/25/15 | Aurelius

Posted on 03/25/2015 10:10:21 AM PDT by rightistight

According to a study released this month by Northeastern University in Boston, nonverbal cues such as smiling are sexist.

The study's aim was to find types of sexism that are not readily apparent. Psychologist Jin Goh explained, "While many people are sensitive to sexist verbal offences, they may not readily associate sexism with warmth and friendliness."

27 pairs of men and women participated in the study. They were tasked with playing a trivia game and then talking afterwards.

Scientists concluded that men who are nice to women are, in fact, actually sexist because they are tricking them into accepting the patriarchy.

Professor Judith Hall, a co-author of the study, explained, "Benevolent sexism is like a wolf in sheep's clothing that perpetuates support for gender inequality among women at an interpersonal level. These supposed gestures of good faith may entice women to accept the status quo in society because sexism literally looks welcoming, appealing, and harmless."

People like this were deemed "benevolent sexists," and did such sexist things such as smile, wait for women to answer the trivia question, and use positive words to encourage them.

I guess that wearing burkas will be necessary so as to curtail all of this sexist behavior.

When I smile at women, they’re usually facing away from me.

“Scientists concluded that men who are nice to women are, in fact, actually sexist because they are tricking them into accepting the patriarchy.”

Let me guess.. like “glow-bull warming,” that’s “settled science,” too.

re: Next we will be told that eye contact is aggressive and sexist, but then we will be told that avoiding eye contact is dismissive and sexist. What to do after that?

I think what these feminists want is for normal men to be eliminated. (Gay men are ok. Also metro-sexual, liberal men are ok and nonthreatening, supposedly.) Then there will be paradise and peace on earth, as long as there are sperm donors and turkey basters available for the propagation of the species. Of course, what to do with the little boys who are conceived? Well, abort most of them in the womb. Allow a small percentage to be born. These will be deeply indoctrinated into liberal culture to eventually become sperm donors. Eliminate all who do not buy into the indoctrination. Sounds like a science-fiction novel. But I think it is pretty realistic. It is patently obvious that “real men” are frightening to these feminists. Real women are frightening as well.

Extraordinarily unhappy people. It was Goethe who said that you see in the world what your heart. Their hearts are very dark and ugly.

idiots.

this from the same illiterate crowd that does not understand “sexless” language may work in English but not in OTHER LANGUAGES which have female and male word forms.

Can we acknowledge that feminists are just sexists for ugly women.

Ever millennial GIRL out there just wants a 50 Shades of Grey guy to hogtie them and beat them with a riding crop anyways.

I gave up and am going to just accept that I am just going to die a hermit...

I just hope someone takes care of my kitties when I am gone.

I’d smile at her... she has cute glasses. But then I would be castrated by her.

The continuity of life depends on what these sanctimonious, crack-brained, theorists, call "sexist." Of course, men smile at women they find attractive; of course, they hope to garner a return smile--maybe leading to something significant; something, the importance of which, these word-slingers do not appear able to comprehend.

One scarcely knows where to begin in analyzing this lunacy. For starters, consider Feminist War On Love & Reason.

Where this all ends, nobody knows. But it will end. These people do not represent the future; not unless Mankind is about to become extinct.

So stupid.

But, this is an excuse to treat liberal women as they deserve.

Slam the door on them, cut them off in traffic, and snarl at them.
