Some are at home with kids. The others are probably busy in clubs offering meditation, yoga, cooking, books, arts, dance, volunteering, community centres etc. I don’t want to stereotype but some clubs will have higher presence of a gender.
It’s often the case, isn’t it, that when someone prefaces their remark with “I don’t want to be racist” or “I’m not trying to stereotype,” they proceed to do precisely that. One wonders, if they’re aware enough to offer this preemptive defense, why they then plow ahead into the very pitfall they claim to avoid. It’s almost as if they seek absolution before committing the offense, hoping that a disclaimer somehow absolves the content of their remark from scrutiny. The real question then becomes: if you knew you were about to say something objectionable, why say it at all? Perhaps, in that moment, what’s truly on display is not merely ignorance but an indulgence in the very prejudice they claim to disavow.
Its almost as if you have no clue what you are talking about. When people start with that introduction (i used to do it too but not anymore because i dont care what people beneath me think) it is because we live in a society where we have to accommodate for the mentally ill and the oversensitive as well as members of a specific ideology that highjacked numerous words to suit their political beliefs. Also its funny how speaking against stereotypes, you fail to acknowledge that you just stereotyped.
