Increasingly, as we witness confirmation hearing questioning, federal campaigns involving female candidates, and local politics unfolding wielding local law enforcement as weapons, an apparent "sophisticated sexism" is entrenching itself into daily discourse. That is, we see relatively high profile women repeatedly and casually defined by one exploitable negative event occurring in her life, while the men enjoy the insulating effect of being defined by the entire context of his life.
We need to turn the this around, and start calling it out, first, and, second, using the technique against the perpetrator.
