And that makes our sexism OK! :D

So, what then? These things *are* happening. We're not 'living peaceably'. Why do you propose we ignore them then?

Words have power. And every time you or someone else uses those words, it doesn't matter what you *think* they mean, they are *rooted* in their original definition. So for some of the people those words apply to, they will always feel the sting of their use.

I don't think she's asking us to discount her gender, I think she's just wishing that it wasn't such a big deal that she was a female.
