Racism and sexism are not evil positions; they’re ignorant positions.
What if someone genuinely hates the opposite sex and willfully lies about them? Wouldn't that be a form of sexism that goes beyond ignorance?
For example what are the odds that well-known feminists/journalists never heard throughout their entire career that there is an adjusted and an unadjusted paygap? From a reader who sent them an e-mail, youtube comment or a twitter message?
And on the other side you have some psychopathic Incels or muslims who kill their own child after it was raped.
Conclusion: Judging any individual based on the general trends of the individual’s group is always stupid.
Sometimes it's better to be judgemental. In a dark alley I will be more inclined to avoid people who look like they belong to a gang than people who wear suits.
