"yes denial that sexism is an intrinsic part of society hurts women... because women often have different needs than men and acknowledging that is by definition sexist since sexism by definition is to discriminate based on sex"

Obviously there will always be some sort of discrimination between the two different sexes, but feminists are trying to limit that as much as possible and allow women to be equal as men around the world. A world with less discrimination between the two sexes sounds pretty good imo.

"if every man for example started to become timid and asked for consent to kiss in every interaction with a woman, that hurts women would you agree?"

No, it doesn't hurt women. 

"can you logically explain how the story has offended you?"

A Woman needed a man to save her.

"well if a guy finds a woman repulsive then i'm pretty sure he's not going to ask for a kiss..."

The point of my comment was that being repulsive to kisses happens on both sides and it's not only a woman thing.

 

"Obviously there will always be some sort of discrimination between the two different sexes, but feminists are trying to limit that as much as possible"

and that is starting to cause problems because the assumption is that men and women are fundamentally the same when they're not

 

"allow women to be equal as men around the world."

really? feminism is active primarily in first world countries where women have had equal rights for decades now... compare that to its presence in areas like saudi arabia for example

 

"No, it doesn't hurt women. "

ok, i accept your perspective on that

 

"A Woman needed a man to save her."

who is more likely to save who in a dangerous situation? a man or a woman?

with all of the recent sexual assault stories, it is primarily men that have been called upon to intervene, can you explain the reason for that?

"The point of my comment was that being repulsive to kisses happens on both sides and it's not only a woman thing."

when did i say that its a woman only thing?

"and that is starting to cause problems because the assumption is that men and women are fundamentally the same when they're not"

What type of problems?

"really? feminism is active primarily in first world countries where women have had equal rights for decades now... compare that to its presence in areas like saudi arabia for example"

Feminism is very alive in first world countries, but its still a worldwide movement.

"who is more likely to save who in a dangerous situation? a man or a woman?"

Depends on the situation and the skill of that, women or men.

"with all of the recent sexual assault stories, it is primarily men that have been called upon to intervene, can you explain the reason for that?"

I think people in power have used their influence to try to get away with sexual assault of other people and it just happens to be that more men are in roles where they have more authority than the women and in some cases men they assualt.

"when did i say that its a woman only thing?"

You didn't, but you didnt point out that men do the same thing so i just brought it up.
