You don't seem to be reading my comments, or perhaps you are conflating them with someone elses?

Firstly, I asked why the statements that I said are not sexist are harmful, I don't think your statement answers that.

Second, the whole point of my initial post and the original post here, is that it isn't biological differences, it's social differences about how you are raised, how you were taught. Within a western context we all were sent to the same schools, the same playground experiences, the same movies and TV and the same daycares. Even if an individual escapes the socialization of one of these vectors, they are still exposed to all the others. that's what's under critique, not inherent truths about humanity. It's important to introspect on these issues and seek to unlearn the parts that are harmful.

I also never even mentioned the word rapists in any of my comments, that seems like an entirely separate conversation entirely.
