Sextism: Difference between revisions

Anyone would expect that this word would denote the use of sexist language during sexting. And yet Robert L. Holmes coined it to describe the convictions of a sextist, that is a person “''who believes in the innate superiority of one sex over the other''” without “''necessarily support[ing] discrimination on that basis''”.<ref>Robert L. Holmes, [https://books.google.gr/books?id=a6BIDwAAQBAJ/ ''Introduction to Applied Ethics''], Bloomsbury, London and Oxford, 2018, p. 57.</ref> The coiner uses sextism as an ad hoc term, “defined specifically for this text”.<ref>''Ibid.'', p. 512.</ref>
