13361578, No, the way to not say sexist things...

is to think before you speak and resist the urge to say sexist things.

Everybody is subject to implicit gender bias. Even women. Just as everyone is subject to implicit racial bias. Have you taken the implicit bias test?

The people who angrily assert that they couldn't possibly be subject to implicit bias because --(excuse, excuse, excuse)-- are usually the ones who don't put any work into correcting those biases, and as a result, say more stupid things.


All this other stuff you're running through is flailing deflection, right down to your schoolboy claim that you originally said the sexist thing as some kind of clever trap to expose the hypocrisy of something or other that nobody ever said.

"...like you who - undoubtedly - would be calling for Bernie's demise if..." I never said Bernie should drop out of the race because he was behind Warren. I even said the opposite at a time when he was significantly behind *and* he had a heart attack at the age of 78.

Calm down. You said something dumb. We all do it. Move on.
