I just did something I rarely do on Facebook: called someone out for sexism. Here's a news flash: if you compare a male athlete's poor performance to playing like a girl, you're being sexist. You're trying to say that women are worse athletes. People say this who would never, presumably, say that an athlete played like someone of a different race.
I might be unfriended for this, I might get angry responses. I don't think I deserve anger: seriously, if you don't want to get called for being sexist, don't post sexist things on Facebook. But I'm tired of going on Facebook and seeing people be stupid.

Seems as though I'll avoid unfriending, and the response was more thoughtful than I'd expected. Hmmm. Must just be the visit from my aunt that has me so defensive.
