Sexism is one of those things that only exists because enough people believe in it.

I am different to a man.

True.

Physically, socially and hormonally and therefore honestly.

Different.

But how much sameness is there in that difference?

This is where the bias lives.

Not so much in the assumed difference.

But in the presumed sameness.

Is it wrong to believe that we are different.

No.

Is it wrong to look for reasons for that difference?

Not if searching for better, deeper, more genuine ways to connect.

But if it’s to create or allow distance -  I hate it.

I hate it so much.

I hate categories of people.

Though I know we all need be defined.

To be defined helps us be understood.

And we all desire that.
