I'm not sexist at all, women are certainly better than men at many things, but reading maps and parking cars are not among them in my opinion

I agree and here's a wee photo to prove it:-

That is sexist! You could as well say I'm no racist but there are just too many immigrants in this country taking our jobs and women. Would that sound right to you?

That's bizarre. Whoever did this, how did that person manage that? It looks more like a publicity stunt to me.

Nah, it's not sexist/racist if it's a statement based on fact and not some prejudice. If I said that black people were better adapted to warm climates than white people, I wouldn't be expressing a racist opinion, I'd be stating a fact.

Your words "I'm not sexist at all, women are certainly better than men at many things, but reading maps and parking cars are not among them in my opinion"

This is a statement based on a prejudiced opinion. Where are your facts?

I'll make sure to ask her if I ever meet her.
