In the context of this thread I'd ask why trying to make society a bit less sexist is so infuriating for you? Does people trying to do the right thing upset you so much that you would damn them?
You exemplify one issue many have with the PC crowd. You automatically assume that what you're doing is the right thing and the other side is the wrong thing.
As for your first couple sentences, it shows another issue many have. The new "hip" thing to do is to throw a big F you to 99% of the population in order to accommodate 1% and then go on to proclaim yourself as progressive and a positive difference maker.
In regards to sexism, which of the following is more sexist?
-Allowing women who happen to be beautiful use their talents to work in a job they enjoy that allows quite a few cool experiences.
-Tell them that because they're beautiful they can't do what they want because someone else says beautiful women can't use their beauty to their advantage.
