A quarter of what?

Is it sexist to say "I've never worn a wet dress before" in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Yeah, this exactly. She has context in mind that she didn't communicate with you. She may not realize you don't know her context.

Best thing is to say something like, "I'm sorry for saying the thing you said was sexist. I'll try to avoid making sexist remarks. But I'm not sure what was sexist about it, and I want to learn why so that I don't do it again."

Whether or not you think you owe her an apology, starting like that may help prevent her from getting defensive. That way, you can have a clearer conversation about it.

Whether or not it was actually sexist, she clearly had a reason for believing it was. And, agree or not, the reason is real to her.

Because "sucking ass" already means something else.

I've heard a therapist call it "shit-colored glasses."

"How dare they create a fictional story that has a few coincidental plot points that mirror Israeli atrocities. It's an attack against Israel to call out Israeli atrocities as atrocities."
