1. could you elaborate?
why do you think it is 'sexist'? Because it is calling discrimination against women a gender neutral term?

Flame-bait material, whatever the answer is.

2. No I think all the "do you think is sexist?" threads
are starting to hurt my eyes. I figured one more might just kill the whole thing.

4. Oh, it's a copycat.
I hate when I miss that and post something semi-serious not knowing it's just a copycat.

Copycat threads can be dangerous things.
