What is wrong with sexism?
In terms of a revolutionary perspective.
I know this is a pretty obvious question, but, give me some creative answers lol.
creative enough? or not enough lolz?
The mind is its own place, and in itself Can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven. What matter where, if I be still the same, And what I should be, all but less than he Whom thunder hath made greater?
Here at least We shall be free
Uh,everything....
Why would someone advocate for dominance and discrimination over another human being based on what gender they are?

Well, socialists believe in human liberation. Women have been and are oppressed under class society. Marxists such as Engels, Clara Zetkin, Alexandra Kollantai, Sheila Rowthbotham, Clara Fraser and others have explained this from a Marxist perspective. Chris Knight, a Marxist anthropologist explained how the struggle for women's liberation could have fostered the creation, the initial spark of all human culture.
Women make up slightly over half the human population.I'm not a Maoist but there is a cool Mao quote, "Women hold up half the sky". So...
To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget

Females make up around 50 per cent of the working class...duh!!
What a very valid question, why is discriminating against 51% of the human race bad? Give me some time to think and I will get back to you with a answer...
Asking the opposite, "what is awesome about sexism?" would probably get you a shorter, more concise list:
1. It's sometimes good for a laugh, in a pathetic sort of way.
2. [DATA NOT FOUND]
Imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever, saying:
"I KNOW YOU FEEL UPSET RE STAMPING, BUT THAT'S DIFFERENT FROM STRUCTURAL OPPRESSION"
You don't need to be a revolutionary to think "sexism is proooooobably bad".
All forms of discrimination are divisive and distract workers from the real issues in class society which actually concern them.
It places the ungrounded belief of one group being superior to another, often leading to oppression.
In addition to the answers already given, it is intrinsically antithetical to the class struggle. Patriarchal society is a fantastic example of an unjust hierarchy -- indeed, the people in places of inherent power and privilege (men) are only in power and privilege for completely arbitrary reasons. As long as such significant barriers exist among the proletariat, dividing the working class in half, efficient organization and coöperation will not be on the table. Further, it's hypocritical to be for the liberation of only roughly 49% or workers.
I don't believe in cops, bosses, or politicians. Some call that anarchism; I call it having a fucking heart that beats.
Not sure if trolling...
If you struggle with this question then you got problems
Women make bad sandwiches, that's what(they are also too stupid to make sandwiches at all, haha!)!
Atleast they are struggling with the question, they would have a far bigger problem if they thought the answer to the question "is sexism wrong?" is a definate No
"The first class oppression coincides with that of the female sex by the male." - Frederick Engels
"I have declared war on the rich who prosper on our poverty, the politicians who lie to us with smiling faces, and all the mindless, heartless robots who protect them and their property." - Assata Shakur
From a revolutionary perspective? I guess that you mean from a progressive or leftist mindset. From that, I say that leftists hold equality as an essential value to uphold in all forms of society. The division between men and women is a societal division that should be closed.
Society does not consist of individuals but expresses the sum of interrelations, the relations within which these individuals stand. ~ Karl Marx

Alright, I know you're joking, but you should really try to check yourself (before ya wreck yourself) before saying stuff like that. In a place as male-dominated as revleft, try to be a little more sensitive to the very real issues faced by women (and some men) every day, the last thing we need here is more immature exclusivity/hostility. Sarcasm can be incredibly effective at debasing oppressive institutions when deployed appropriately, but that was just a bad joke.
Sarcasm 101:
Use the common justifications for sexism as bases for sarcastic criticism, not some dumb locker-room joke.
You seem neat, but...
They divide us by our color, they divide us by our tongue,
They divide us men and women, they divide us old and young,
But they'll tremble at our voices when they hear these verses sung,
For the Union makes us strong!
Pretending that someone is better then someone else, rather it is based upon gender or anything else, is elitist.
Actually males make up 50.25% of the worldwide population.
There is nothing wrong with sexism. It is obvious that women are better than men. Men are far more likely to be violent, rapists, in charge of the institutions of oppression, etc. Yes, there are some outlying women who are like that. But these minor cases don't mean anything. Men are worse than women. And there is nothing wrong with saying that. Wait, you mean sexism against women. Yeah, what's wrong is that it is stupid, and well, wrong.
so fuck you and your untouchable face
