Oh, Right. Patriarchy.
Sometimes sexism is difficult to find. It must be teased out with careful examination of the source material, turning the lens this way and that, analyzing every metaphor.
And sometimes (link to Survivor video page), sometimes it jumps right out at ya. Once CBS posts tonight's episode, in the 26th minute by my Tivo, it jumps.
"Colby getting owned by Coach? Oh my gosh, dude. I can only imagine what Colby's thinking. He's gotta be, like, I may as well just become a woman because there's no point on trying to maintain my masculinity now." sez Tyson (Tocantins), of the Villains tribe.

May I just say: well done, Survivor. You have indeed correctly ascertained on which tribe this individual belongs. I can tell this and these sentences are some of the less than a dozen I have heard him utter at this point.
Intersectionality, ftw. How is this offensive; let me count some ways.
1) To transwomen. [sarcasm] Yes. That's exactly what causes one to wish to become a transwoman. A humiliating experience that threatens one's masculinity.[/sarcasm] I just. IDE have words... *whimper*
2) To ciswomen. Apparently Mr. Tyson Skinny-Ass White Boy missed Jeff's comment during a previous round that Circie is "a linebacker" because he's suffering from the delusion that she (because she's a she) couldn't kick his ass all around that damn island. With a great big grin on her face the whole time.
3) Factually. Colby was not "owned" by Coach. Here's what I saw. They battled each other over the length of the playing field, each at times getting the upper hand, until Coach (possibly aided by Jeff) stumbled upon a winning strategy to which Colby, given his physical position at the time, was unable to devise an effective counter.
Also, wow. Project much, dude? I did not need that glimpse into your psyche, thanks.
Yeah, kinda stuck a pin in my little Survivor balloon.
