Not the definitions I've ever seen.

My SO's best friend of seven years decided to shit in my news feed today. Another soul lost to a college sociology course.

It's NOT "the definition". Sexism is being prejudiced based on gender. Nothing about "power" in it.

Please ask him this:

White people are not empowered in China and do not have the ability to oppress others there. Suppose a white man in China goes around yelling at people "fucking slant eyed gooks, why won't you stupid chinks learn to speak English and eat something other than rice"... are you telling me this is not racism?

Another young white woman taught to hate white men.

The definition that's being used is an academic definition related to another academic definition. Your SO's Best friend learned the term in as it is used as Jargon in Sociology. Not necessarily as it is applied in real life. Unfortunately, this definition is also the one used in the study of sociology, unless the writer chooses to use a different definition, much like Warren Farrell did in a Myth of Male Power.

Sociology, my major in college, has a lot of interesting social phenomenon that it has documented and as an empirical study shouldn't be too bad. When you get into qualitative instead of Quantitative work then things start shitting the bed.

Sociology is compromised
