If it was statistically, rigorously verified that women (on average) look to get different things from their hobbies than men do I would not be surprised (I don't know if it is true or if any such proper studies have been undertaken in the past). Does the fact that I would not be surprised at such an outcome mean that I am sexist?
If by "not surprised" you mean "this confirms what I suspected about women all along even though I conducted no such study of my own", then how does it not indicate prejudice?
What if "not surprised" means just that, that I find such a possibility quite plausible, without it being "what I suspected all along"?

Also, maybe it is really prejudice (and I am sexist) if what I "suspect" about women is that on average they are different from men (and what I mean by "on average" is more of their statistical distributions than their average "score" on this or that).
Note I am not saying inferior or superior, or making prejudiced judgements on individuals, nor saying that some differences are fundamental instead of e.g. a product of different treatment and opportunities by society etc. which are external factors (which I am thoroughly convinced are at least a big part of some "observable" differences).

Dude, why do you even post here? Nobody likes you anymore. All you do is create a shitstorm after another, hell you have like two or three going at once right now!

I, for one, hope you get banned. Not from being a jerkass, because that's pretty much a given, but because you don't even seem to be able to read. :lol:

Whatever, you are not worth my time or anybody else's. Let's just wait for what the moderators have to say.

General Norris is a known fucking sexist.

He once said that men can't give birth to babies.

You sure do miss being a mod at times like this, right?

BTW random question, but I have no idea which game your avatar is from. Could you enlighten me please?

What is this supposed to be? I thought you were referring to "water under bridge" but it could be a picture of a "lock"?

I think it's a "Bridge over troubled water", which apparently comes from a song about drugs. It seems it means that you are over the problems, watching them but not into them, which makes sense given the context.

Yes, I spent a good deal of time trying to figure this out.
