    thousandsofopinions: ashleytsai: In Glamour magazine. 1) Don’t worry, Francis, I’m pretty sure there are few feminists who will be chasing after you. 2) You know what? If by “high and mighty” you mean holding ourselves to a higher standard so that we can create a culture that is more respectful of other human beings, then I gladly be “high and mighty.” I kindly ask, sir, that you get on my level. Dear Francis… oh dear. Seriously?  Newsflash: you CAN be sexist without meaning to.  Should you continue on being such or would you like to know so you can reevaluate your actions?  I mean, come on.  If someone told me I was being offensive and I had no intention of doing so, I would apologize and think about what I said and why I did not realize what I was doing could be construed as offensive.  I wouldn’t divert from the issue and blame the person calling me out as “oh, they’re too _______ist”.  Really?  No such thing as being too into equality for all sexes, sorry Francis.
