I kind of felt like we were making this loop at the end of the article. Used to be that people were sexist, they could be loud about it, no one cared, and it was accepted. Then people were sexist but couldn't be as loud about it because what became vilified was the term, not necessarily the action (people are terrified to be called sexist/racist, but some of those terrified people are not terrified by doing or saying racist or sexist things). Now apparently we can be sexist as long as we acknowledge it. Full circle.

To be fair I think maybe he is saying he IS sexist because you can't change what you are unaware of, and as a white male in society he is not going to be aware of every way society is sexist / and also, he may feel society has ingrained sexism in him that he may not be conscious of. That which he cannot recognize or control he is attempting to acknowledge.

However yes let's get over you admitting you're sexist and get to the part where we talk about how to change.

Man needs to watch him some Orange is the New Black.
