It's not about equality anyway, it's about equal opportunity.
Maybe that's what it should be, But not all the women got that memo.
If you go out of your way to find offensive behaviour, usually your imagination starts making some up.
I've had situations like that at work where a women apprentice used her sex to try and shame people. It's really awkward.
At one point she wanted to be part of a conversation between supervisors, Something we never include apprentices into, regardless of sexes, colour, or any other differences. She played the sexist card.
In many cases these people don't want equality, they are looking for special treatment.
Respect wasn't given to anyone who has earned it. I know guys who worked a long time before they had enough knowledge to earn the respect.
There are guys I blow off as incompetent hacks every day. If one of them happens to be a women and perceived it as sexist behaviour. It makes for a very problematic situation.
even if there are legit sexism and racism. Policing behaviour is prone to so many problems and exploitation that it will cause more harm then good trying to implement it.
Special groups will try and exploit the situation to gain special treatments.
And that takes us back to my other response.
Equality, is a ideology that we keep striving for, but can never really be achieved.
In some case, Some people are just annoying. Their behaviour is exhausting. If I feel like someone annoys me and I dismiss them for that, They could easily interpret that as sexism, or racism.
