There's a dark irony to the idea that the defenses against sexism (standing up and calling people out) are also causing an unintended secondary sexism by discouraging equal treatment out of fear of accusations.

I've held the belief that if a someone can't recognize and clearly identify the differences between criticism based on merits and criticism based on bias, then there is no point attempting to do "what they want," because they don't know how to identify what they want even if they got it.

What is going today is far beyond calling out sexism (racism, homophobia, etc.). We’ve gone from closeted and dangerous bigotry to open and dangerous guilt-by-accusation.

Not to mention stuff you did as a teenager can somehow disqualify you for future prospects.

Don't know why you're down voted because this is so true that it's partly one of the reasons teens (and former teens) ditched Facebook or scrubbed it well enough. I don't know anyone who posts pictures of themselves having fun on social media now. It's all just sanitized and carefully curated bits.

It really is. Although as long as it's not bad but paints me in a good light, I do it.
