um, because thats not what you said lol. you said she was holding everyone to her standards. that is not what she was doing. these are different things. she just wanted to save the chickens because she assumed she was going home, as i explained in my post a while ago

if I look closely, I will see that you claim Tai "made people respect his view" but "was never confrontational"
yet apparently Wendy was the confrontational one and not Wardog, when all Wendy was doing was defending her own view. something you credit Tai for doing, but criticize Wendy for doing. we have parallel actions here, but you look at them favorably coming from Tai, and disfavorably coming from Wendy
and then you say it's not the opinion that matters, but how you motivate it. what does that mean?! so you are admitting you're only judging the position by the person who delivers it, and not by the position itself. exactly.
and...you were the one who said the position matters, because one of your reasons it was ok for tai was "his position made sense." when they have the exact same position. so you're moving the goalposts again
if you really want to talk about sexism, the whole point is that people overwhelmingly tend to give male survivor players the benefit of the doubt, while assuming only the worst motivations out of the female players without ever trying to understand their perspective. you just see what wendy did and immediately assume she did so for horrible reasons, and make no attempt to actually understand why she did that. or even understand what she was doing in the first place.
its normal for people to have biases. i wish people wouldn't get so defensive about it. there's nothing wrong with that; it would be impossible not to. it's only a problem when people double down on it, rather than doing the tiniest amount of introspection/reflection to realize maybe there is a disparity in how male vs female players are judged. there's clear examples of this time and time again in these threads, but instead people continue to insist it never has anything to do with gender. that seems pretty unlikely to me.
