Women can’t be sexist because they lack power?

A question for the feminists who insist on this deluded ideology.

Consider the very common situation of a single mother holding custody of her young son. Does she not hold a position of power over him and therefore is capable of sexism if she should happen to possess such bigotry?

Think about it she has the power to decide what, when and how much he eats, drinks, reads, watches television, plays with his friends, plays with toys, and whether or not he’s even allowed to leave the house aside from school.

Not only that but she possesses the near-unlimited power to treat him however she pleases so long as she can intimidate him into not speaking out about it (which is remarkably easy for a parent to do to their child).

Just a thought -Morgan
