Here is a simple way to ascertain how sexist an article, view or website may be.
1) First, take your text. ( Example : http://www.womynkind.org/scum.htm )
2) Type the URL of the website into http://regender.com/index.html
This is the result using the example I have provided.
Thanks for your attention!

The Scum Manifesto is total crap, I cannot believe anyone takes it seriously, even the most strident and severe of feminists. I suppose some do though, and that is most unfortunate for everyone.

Strangely enough, that “regendered” SCUM manifesto reads disturbingly like the work of a 19th century Enlightenment philosopher. In fact, IIRC some feminists defended the document as a satire of such writings, I guess as a way of “exposing the patriarchy’s sexism” of sorts, though I can’t recall any of aforementioned philosophers advocating genocide of the opposite sex.
Of course, this doesn’t take away from the fact that our current society does get away with a lot of misandry that wouldn’t go over nearly as well with reversed sexes. Feminist bias is entrenched far deeper in Western culture today than many like to think.
