Is Nature sexist? To maintain a consistent argument, the author would have to answer yes.

Nature is many things, but fair is not one of them.



From all I know about the period, I'm pretty sure no women would pretend that nature treats men and women the same.


Sure, but lumping all gender based unfairness under the label "sexism" muddles things.

Businesses make money selling products for periods and pregnancy, because females want them, not because of any "se ism". Similarly if it's true that some people don't jive with the oculus rift, because of a biological difference, Oculus can create a different device for that market.

They certainly shouldn't be charged with "sexism" or delay releasing their product simply because it's better suited to males than females (if the authors contentions hold).
