Benevolent Sexist Shot Trying to Save Woman

Peter Gold
Did Peter Gold know he was sexist when he tried to save that woman?

Tulane Medical student Peter Gold was shot in the stomach. The injury is the result of his trying to intervene when he saw a man dragging a woman into an SUV.

Where does this rank on the benevolent sexism scale? Isn’t Peter Gold a sexist?

A better question is why shouldn’t any planned dependence on the state be rightly viewed as institutionalized benevolent sexism?

If we are honest about the idea then Welfare, Medicaid, food stamps, contraception, abortion, women’s health care, and a reliance on the government for personal safety (police, fire, EMT’s) are statist-sexist acts against women.

Even policy prescriptions like mandatory pre-K and public education suggest that progressive statists believe women are too incompetent to care for or educate their own children.
