Men sexually harass women because they are not sexist: Their theory is that men treat women aggressively just like they do men so they aren't sexist. But not being sexist means realizing women are different than men and treating them accordingly so their theory is nothing more than a word game.

You have got a number of bizarre arguments in this post, but they're all arguable (kindof) except this one.

Sexism is exactly thinking that somebody is different simply because they are a specific sex. The goal of "political correctness", as idiotic as it seems, is to have everybody treated as if they were carbon copies of one another.

Not being a sexist would mean not acknowledging the differences between the sexes.
