Q4Women, If you had to choose one: would you rather have your man be sexist or autistic?

rulenumber303 · 2017-12-12T02:05:52+00:00

IDK. Those are two things that have a spectrum of manifestations. The most serious manifestations of either are totally out of the question. The mildest manifestations of either are workable with.

shoup88 · 2017-12-12T02:11:12+00:00

Autistic- a sexist would be social suicide in my artsy, bohemian circles.

[deleted] · 2017-12-12T01:57:54+00:00

I have autism, so definitely the autistic.

IckyStickyPoo · 2017-12-12T02:48:55+00:00

I'd take a high functioning aspergers man over a sexist any day of the week.

Staying with a sexist man would kill me inside, day by day. I'd be embarrassed to go out with him, embarrassed to have him around my friends, annoyed by his blathering about women, and bored by his sexism in the bedroom.

If the aspergers man shared some of my interests - star wars, horror films, my kind of music etc - then we might find common ground.

But, a hella lot of aspergers men on PPD seem to be red pill. In other words, sexist.

TheChemist158 · 2017-12-12T04:16:45+00:00

How autistic are we talking about here? If we are including the "I'm bad at jokes and not sociable" type, that's fine. But if we are talking about legit autism, need a guardian for the rest of your life autism, I'd take the sexist.

goatismycopilot · 2017-12-12T03:01:34+00:00

Hmmmmmm. Depends on the degree of sexism or autism, most men default to some sexism, so the milder stuff is easy to ignore.

GridReXX · 2017-12-12T13:41:44+00:00

I’d choose pxssy over both of those options. I’m so happy I’m not attracted to only men. Praise!

But if I had to choose it really depends.

I know a few black guys with Aspergers whose parents really made sure they were supported and they were still pretty indoctrinated in black “cool” culture so they’re fine and even joke about their shit.

I’d choose that over someone else’s sexist, but I realize my example is rare and your version of an autistic man is probably some super uncool dude with the reaction times and affect of Napoleon Dynamite. But no cool Latino friend.

rpwthrowaway2016 · 2017-12-12T03:59:37+00:00

I've had crushes on autistic guys before, so definitely autistic, as long as it isn't too severe. My bf has some personality traits commonly associated with autistic people anyhow, though he isn't autistic himself.

SpaceWhiskey · 2017-12-12T04:40:49+00:00

Probably autistic, like others said it depends on how both the autism and the sexism manifests.

Orange_Paisley · 2017-12-12T04:54:41+00:00

An autistic man, definitely. They don’t choose to be autistic while a sexist chooses to be sexist.

SmurfESmurferson · 2017-12-12T01:46:46+00:00

Sexist, so long as he had a sense of humor about it

sublimemongrel · 2017-12-12T01:45:38+00:00

Autistic obviously. I would prefer autistic over normal.

Atlas_B_Shruggin · 2017-12-12T19:41:18+00:00

Sexist, homophobic, racist and xenophobic are base requirements in a man

RockinSocksII · 2017-12-12T06:30:52+00:00

Autistic. I might actually do relatively well with one given the high likelihood of me having Aspbergers.

[deleted] · 2017-12-12T05:37:40+00:00

Adding another "sexist" response. I couldn't deal with a moderate autist all day. Nope, nope, nope. No, thank you. :)

rainisthelife · 2017-12-12T09:15:33+00:00

If all else was equal in terms of physical attractiveness, then I would pick the sexist over the autistic. The relationship would probably suck, but if I truly had no other options, at least I know how to manage with a sexist man. I honestly wouldn’t even know where to begin with an autistic man.

LSTW1234 · 2017-12-12T03:13:01+00:00

Sexist, as long as he wasn’t a misogynist.

Atlas_B_Shruggin · 2017-12-12T05:15:04+00:00

I'm curious what the women here are picturing by "autistic" when they choose it over garden variety neurotypical sexism

fetchyminx · 2017-12-12T02:17:10+00:00

Sexist.

ayovita · 2017-12-12T06:36:17+00:00

Definitely sexist

justhanging92 · 2017-12-12T09:12:22+00:00

I want to say, autistic, though it's mostly me choosing against the sexist. Maybe single.

Blue_Violet23 · 2017-12-12T09:17:27+00:00

Slight sexist.

[deleted] · 2017-12-12T11:02:15+00:00

Sexist, for sure.

BlaueBlumeFreiheit · 2017-12-12T11:51:47+00:00

Aspergers any day.

pinkgoldrose · 2017-12-12T13:09:42+00:00

Autistic.

weaver420 · 2017-12-12T13:46:44+00:00

Does sexist towards men count? Jk. Autistic would be my choice.

chasingstatues · 2017-12-12T05:53:00+00:00

What's the difference?

cuittler · 2017-12-12T02:43:12+00:00

all masculine men are sexist. they're either unaware of their sexism or lying to you.

so sexist i guess. i would never want to date an autistic person. ew

Sexist > autistic

shoup88 · 2017-12-12T15:53:45+00:00

I'd rather him be a little bit sexist than a little bit autistic. Sexism is curable. Too much of either and I'd rather be single.

JezebeltheQueen5656 · 2017-12-12T17:35:37+00:00

My ex was on the spectrum when we met. So he told me, anyway. After discovering and 'swallowing' the pill, he turned sexist. Who would've thought. So, my answer is: neither.

VUELO_LA · 2017-12-12T19:35:40+00:00

That sounds like one of the great Milo Yiannapolis’ headlines

KikiYuyu · 2017-12-12T22:33:44+00:00

Well, depends on how sexist. I have a clearer concept of autism, but what people consider sexist varies so greatly I have no idea what I'm working with.

thinkytoes · 2017-12-13T15:24:22+00:00

Autistic.

I genuinely can't take sexist men seriously. I see their logic, and therefore mind, as faulty. In such a way that I can't work with it or respect it.

Theseus_The_King · 2017-12-13T19:51:35+00:00

Autistic. A sexist by definition doesn't respect women. Autistics are perfectly capable of doing so.

carefreevermillion · 2017-12-12T03:49:09+00:00

Sexist.
