What's to be learned from human self-interest?

"Women are more likely to challenge men on sexist comments than men are. Given the particular socialization of women under patriarchy, seemingly minor comments or incidents can leave women and gender non-conforming people feeling humiliated, angry, or upset; yet such comments are often dismissed as harmless. Women discussing sexism are often characterized as divisive or overreactive and women’s concerns are belittled unless validated by other men. This highlights disrespect for women’s voices in discussing their own oppression."
