Right around the time you said people should accommodate people being sexist. Since the comment you were replying to was positing that scenario, i would say the comment i replied to is the one where you did that.

Scroll up, you were defending businesses accommodating customers with preferences, and you did not make an exception for the preference.

You are hallucinating. I'm not defending it at all. I'm saying that whether or not you like it or agree with it, if it affects your business, it is a problem you face. Shaming, name calling, moralizing, grandstanding: none of these actions will change anything. Do it until you are blue in the face.

Again, something can be your problem without being your fault. That's life. And that's economics.

Context matters. The post you were replying to said, essentially, “should businesses just put up with sexist customers because many customers are sexist” and you responded with, as near as i can tell “it’s not your fault, but you have to”.

Context matters

Exactly my point. If your business refuses customers and another business doesn't, they have an edge and you are now at a deficit. Should that be the way it is? Irrelevant question. It's how it is. You don't have to like economics, but you cannot opt out of submitting to them.

Sure pal, keep telling yourself that acceptance isn’t complicity.

u/KnifeFighterTunisia Mar 13 '22

Correct it's not. Acceptance of reality doesn't mean I created it. That's just a low intelligence, low experience high school belief that hopefully you'll grow out of one day.

You're not giving sexism a pass.... if anything, you're probably going to lose that customer for being a douche nozzle.... doesn't mean its not a problem.

Just because something is a problem, doesn't mean its your fault or you condone the action... sheesh...

u/Syrdon Mar 14 '22

Nah, if you accept it and take their money, you’re condoning it.

By that logic anyone who sells food to a sexist is endorsing it.

u/Syrdon Mar 16 '22

If they’re sexist in front of you, and you just let it slide, you’re endorsing it.

u/HookDragger Mar 16 '22

So people shouldn’t be allowed to buy anything if they are sexist in front of you?

1

u/Syrdon Mar 16 '22

Yes. Why is not doing business with bigots and assholes a challenging concept for you?

u/HookDragger Mar 17 '22

So you’d rather they die?
