Ever get the feeling
That your colleagues who weren't born sexist but gradually became more so over time due to cultural conditioning just treat some kinds of women better than others for some reason?
Seems like some people are getting better at caring

Wow, he sounds honest
“'I think a lot of expat men — especially in China and Southeast Asia — have a pretty messed up view of women,' a male photographer based in southern China says. He requested anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to speak with press. 'I think some of them get away with being one way at home, but when they find themselves in these places where sex is so easily available — especially if you’re a white dude and some local women see status in that — some men abuse it.'”

X: "I went into a store today and asked a woman for assistance but she was very distracted and said something to me about her walkie talkie and walked away. Then I saw a young man who probably has your same background and had your first name on his tag. He listened and helped me right away!"
Y: "Well I am glad that someone with my name helped you."
Accountability, People
"BALTIMORE — On the first of two days of public sessions during the U.S. bishops' fall general assembly, a group of sex abuse survivors in a Nov. 16 news conference called on the prelates meeting in Baltimore to focus less on who can take Communion and instead do more to end sex abuse and other abuses by clergy."

"Men Should Stand Up to Rapists, Not Befriend Them"
"Rapists rely on other men to excuse and justify their crimes against women. Other men who'll laugh at their jokes, invite them to parties, play sports with them, introduce them to other women. Men who'll give them jobs, feed them, and help them blame their victims even if it's by indifference."

"In the past three years I've learned that the most powerful tool to combat violence against women could very well be the minds of young men. I've learned that if we don't fill those minds with examples of virtue, empathy, affection, tolerance, trust, kindness, courage, and bravery, then those minds will end up being filled with ignorance, racism, sexism, hate, and anger."

Even though
I can love the idea that therapy or healing techniques or angel intervention could help a person (once I saw a video clip of a guy who described himself as a self-absorbed jerk until he had a near death experience, which changed him because he saw angels) it's curious to know that someone who seemingly was a more consistently nice person when younger could have turned into more of a tempermental sort of person, who, if he feels not in control, can be quite mean at times...
Is that a reaction, is it protecting the real self from a brutal world? If you are sensitive or triggered by that kind of behavior, it hurts on multiple levels to experiece or witness that. Also it could just be a tiresome dynamic and not what you want to deal with. Some of us just don't feel well if we have lots of exposure to that. And sometimes people who dealt with life by being controlling find themselves in different circumstances later on in life.
