The average is indeed not 100, and I am saying the issue is "nobody living to 100", not the average life expectancy.

"I know that most of you will be taking the year-end exam in a month, and you guys probably won't be able to get into the martial arts stream but the liberal arts stream. I want all of you to understand that successful cultivation aside, all of you will have to depend on your personal cultivation to be able to live a long healthy life in the future!" Qin Wu scanned everyone in class as he proceeded. "During the Common Era, people only lived for a few decades on average. Nobody got to 100. Why was that? It was because their bodies were weak, and they were in an unhealthy state for a long time. What else would they expect? On the other hand, everyone in the modern Kunlun Era is a cultivator. The average lifespan has surpassed 100 years, and some can even live to 120. That's the advantage of practicing martial arts!"

You see, the evidence can also from his exp in life. Strong wine is usually not as smooth and more difficult to drink compared to light wine, even if it is a good wine. That is a fact that young women likes lighter wine, based on a research in 2011 conducted in Australia. You can search "Consumer behaviour and sensory preference difference" on gg scholar to check. However, I do acknowledge that there is a trend for women to drink more in recent years, so the stats might have changed. So no, the assumption is not sexist unless there is evidence to prove otherwise later. Thus, the word "prefer" here is fine and it's better than "suitable". A person is not guilty until proven, maybe that is where we differ, not whether this assumption is sexist or not.

"Are you alright? Louis XIII is nice, but it's too strong. Ace of Spades is more suitable for women."

It's been a while since I came back here. I am just wondering, if we change the last sentence into "Ace ... is preferred by women", is the whole paragraph still sexist to you?

"Are you alright? Louis XIII is nice, but it's too strong. Ace of Spades is more suitable for women."

We need to make something clear here since you said we need to stop categorize ppl into groups. Putting ppl into different zones based on opinion (ex: white skin is superior/smarter for racism case) is wrong, but based on fact is fundamental in how human inteprets the world around them. We do that on a daily basis: categorize based on nationality, generation (boomers, Y, Z, etc), religions, political standpoints, wealth, etc Now clearly, the sentiment we attribute to those group are individualistic, and here is where the "right and wrong" are discussed. Going back to the language being used in this case, as I said, to me the word "suitable" might suggests negative sentiment and it does not convey correctly what I understand the MC wants to say. Thus, using your Morgan Freeman quote, correction of word to properly convey the idea is what needed here and we dont talk about the issue that some of us see while some dont.

"Are you alright? Louis XIII is nice, but it's too strong. Ace of Spades is more suitable for women."

there are a few good non-transmigrate/time traveller original work on this app. But the support are too few compare to these kind of novels so I think they moved their work elsewhere.

 That's right; Li Yang wasn't originally from this world. Li Yang used to be an unknown chef on Blue Planet.

Also to "wash" money, let's be real here

Actually, it was opened by a rich magnate. Usually, such a coffee shop was not for the sake of making money. Instead, when they were free, the magnate and his friends could go to their own coffee shop to drink tea and brag, or host card games. It was very convenient. It was also very safe.

Within a month, he had traveled around the country, collected junk, looked for treasures, and live-streamed. Not only had he paid off his debts, but he had also gained about 2 million yuan in assets and tens of thousands of fans in his live-stream room.
