When can someone be blamed for being sexist? Can you be responsible for being sexist if you were raised in a sexist family and have never had a chance to become aware of a different world view? Could you be blamed as an individual? Does it even make sense to think of "responsibilities" and "blame" together?

(OFC I oversimplify here)

Read this paper from Angela Smith in my seminar on moral responsibility this week and rediscovered her valuable insight on the topic:

I agree with her that we are responsible (answerable) for any attitude, but blame requires more knowledge about the circumstances of how we came to it.
