:: "Am I a sexist for doing this?" doesn't mean "Am I absolutely, categorically a sexist for doing this?" ::

Ah. "Am I sexist?" is not a question in boolean logic, but a question in fuzzy logic.

That is, "Am I sexist?" is less like "Am I pregnant?" (which can only be answered yes/no) and more like "Am I tall?" (which is a degree question, with the yes/no answer useful only in cases of extreme degree).
