    Sorry, but this sounds exactly like what male privilege is. Assuming that it doesn’t happen near you because you haven’t noticed it.

    Ask your female friends what sorts of sexism they genuinely face regularly and I think you’ll learn a lot.

      That is what I meant. I’ve never seen this behavior in meetings where someone just dismisses a woman/person of color/lgbt/etc just because.

      I think this sort of behavior is especially prevalent in the US because even in Mexico guys didn’t behave like that.

      This is why I learned to stfu about experiences I don’t understand.

      I say that as a person of color trying to explain my perspective and be given deer-in-headlights responses, or worse, dismissal and denial.
