I never viewed sexism this way. But now that I am taking this perspective I can&#x27;t help but notice how some to many women play a part in this as well. To put it a bit blunt and simplified: a considerable amount of women want to be treated like a princess.  I guess those type of fantasies are an exaggeration of how a woman should&#x27;ve been treated in the early Victorian era. Another variant that I have experienced is the (partially) subconscious behaviour that women want to be dependent on males, but they don&#x27;t want males to depend on them. If these cultural notions of dependence and being treated to the point of being (almost) spoiled don&#x27;t go away, then a form of modern sexism will always exist.<p>Note&#x2F;nuance: I&#x27;m just stating the contribution of women here, because I&#x27;ve never thought about it this way. Males contribute to modern sexism as well in obvious ways (to me).<p>Edit: could down votes be explained? A down vote is not enough feedback for me to adapt my posting behaviour.
