I wouldn’t expect anything else from her, she has no values and she’s out of control.
You do not get to rewrite the meaning of the word sexist. A sexist is someone who stereotypes women negatively, holds a discriminatory double standard where things acceptable for men are not acceptable for women; or holds a chauvinistic belief in the inferiority of women
sexist (adj.)
1965, from sex (n.) on model of racist, coined by Pauline M. Leet, director of special programs at Franklin & Marshall College, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, U.S., in a speech which was circulated in mimeograph among feminists. Popularized by use in print in Caroline Bird's introduction to “Born Female” (1968).
Why does the word’s origin make it untrue? There certainly was then, and still is in more subtle ways, discrimination against women by some men, and against men by some women, also sexist. Arguing about the word doesn’t excuse your sneering at the Macron’s wife, or her age in general, in a way you would not have done if the man were 25 years older, which was the point of this discussion. So, you were both sexist and ageist. Own it.
And by the way, I would have just ignored your unfunny comment—”I see Macron brought his Grandmama to explain the landing as she remembered it”—except that you made it at the top of more than one thread. That irked me.

These are leftist terms. You appear to be on the wrong site
Oh, that old canard again. Get with the times. Being conservative doesn't give you license to disrespect women or older people.
I am older people
Exactly the generation who thinks it's ok to make fun of older women for being a) women and b) old. Which you did. Own it.
I’m married to an older woman for near 40 years. I don’t need to listen to your love of this disgusting generation and it’s left wing foibles. That’s what I own.
Glad to hear it! don't post to me any more, and it'll be all good!
