A lot of the time we do know, but we're terrified of getting it wrong and getting rejected and maybe worse.
after being rejected 100 times in a row for "ew gross i don't associate disabled people" when after a couple dates i let them see me take a blood pressure pill (hadn't even let them see any of my massive collection of scars except my arm and face, which i can't exactly hide without michael jacksoning) you kind of just start making fairly accurate assumptions about the women in your society
Been there. Not blaming women either, men are equally ableist.
Women and men are ableist because society as a whole is ableist.
