How can the colour of icing sugar be sexist? I dunno what specifically you're referring to, but sexism is an institution, a product of socialisation and normative beliefs and practices. Few people wake up in the morning and think "I believe women are inferior to men", but they do develop the belief following years of exposure to sexism and the normative practices of society. Those practices being like, language, advertising, etc.. Even icing sugar. It might be a very small cog in an enormous system but it's there never the less.

The mens was blue and the womens pink. Why would that be taken as a sexist slight to women? Why are men not able to say that it's sexist or stereotyping being blue? I think it's all bollocks though, just looking at every conceivable thing to have a pop at. Some people have dull lives.

Because it separates men and women into two categories, which is never a positive thing. Boys get bullied for liking pink, women called "tomboys" etc. We should really be moving past that as a society. I'm not saying we should prioritise it ahead of international terrorism, but that doesn't mean little things aren't important. Interestingly, pink was traditionally a boys' colour and blue was for girls.. Which shows you how socially influenced it all is.

I'll keep it short.
An uncle dies and you hear that an aunt that you love dearly has bowel cancer...In the same day.
Fuck that day.

Very sorry to hear about that FH. Sometimes life can be truly cruel. Thoughts are with you and yours.

So do you think separating men's & women's sports is a bad thing?

Nope. Always exceptions. also a load of bollocks, plenty of men/boys wear pink clothing
I didn't say they didn't, did I? I said some kids get bullied for it, and they do.

Yep, the best of luck with that. When you find yourself past your sexual attractiveness and in your mid thirties on your own in a house full of cats as no real man would put up with your ranting feminist bullshit you will have a lot of time to reflect on your choices. You will probably be fat and ugly with lots of piercings and tattoos as well by then. All the best Love and kisses xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
