By this line of reasoning, would you be willing to concede that there exists some minds among the vast space of possible human minds for which these facts you consider sexist are not sexist?
If so, would you be willing to reconsider your hypothesis that all human males not currently identifying as feminist must necessarily be subconsciously applying sexist methodologies and control schemes? Would you be willing to change your mind (on some statements made elsewhere in this thread)?
For the record, I am saying this in (perceived) full awareness of the hypocrisy of it, since I haven’t yet found a single related and relevant idea on which I should change my mind, which obviously stems from the fact that I consider my current beliefs to be the best beliefs to have, biased animal that I am. If I did find such a belief, then, doing my best to be rational, I would already be relinquishing this belief. Circular logic all over the place, but we do what we can.
Those minds exist, just not right now, in general. I expect them to exist “after the feminist Revolution,” which is to say after a long process of unlearning patriarchy occurs on the societal level.
If you’re asking whether those minds could exist entirely by accident, I suppose they could, in feral children and similar humans totally isolated from patriarchal society.
In general, the process of creating those minds looks like becoming a feminist and unlearning patriarchy over a long period of time, such that feminist cognitive processes become automatic/type I and replace patriarchal processes.
So yes, those minds exist, but besides feral children, not outside of people who have become feminist.
