A "deeply decent" person may not 'get' sexism, or may need time for the seed of understanding to grow; but there is nothing decent about casting aside principle in favor of privilege. Which, frankly, is where I think most of us (myself included) are apt to fall down. It's a very, very hard thing to look at somebody you love and see that they are not just clueless, but deeply invested in their own privilege; not merely blind, but squinching their eyes tight shut because if they see, they might need to change.

Some of the happiest times (and, alternately, most depressing times) is when they come up to me saying they noticed some sexism, after scoffing at me the first time I pointed it up. It makes me think that it's not just wasted breath. Most of my friends are conservative, and pretty status-quo sexist.
