nah, you're just heteroexual - Cee Bee

No, you are normal. - Morgan

Mark - I had always suspected that. Thank you. :) - Anthony Citrano

Isn't a sexist someone who likes sex? - Martha

Sure, Lindsey, but I discriminate viciously against men in my sexual desire. - Anthony Citrano

Normal, Morgan? 0_o - Derrick

I'm with Sean, it's a biochemical thing, not an ideology. I wouldn't call you anti-mango if the smell of frying bacon makes you hungry. - a runcible MiniMage

But how far does it go, MiniMage? What if I only like blondes? Am I hairist? What if I only like Asian women with green eyes? etc. etc. I think sometimes our language about ‘discrimination’ gets into some troubling areas. That was the point I was trying to make with the original post. - Anthony Citrano

I don't think so. - Just Katie

No, you're a breeder. Where *are* the little munchkins anyhow? :) - Richard Walker

The term "sexist" does not connote attraction as a matter of definition. Sexual preferences and negative generalizations based on the immutable characteristic of gender are not even in the same volume of the dictionary, let alone the same definitional entry. - Martha

If you only like Asian women with green eyes, then apparently you're an undead Chinese sorcerer that shoots beams of light out of your eyes. - Victor Ganata

*-ism is not really about preference, but about power. - Victor Ganata

+Victor on Big Trouble in Little China reference - Rodfather

There's preference based on the superficial, and then there's biology. The two do not compare; they contrast. Now, if you owned a company and only hired women (I'm trying to imagine a business that a man could run that could only use female employees, and I'm coming up empty), THAT would prove you sexist. If you constantly sent anti-men propaganda out and constantly extolled the virtues of women, THAT would be sexist. When you start talking about eye, hair, etc, color, THAT'S exclusionary. - a runcible MiniMage

Stockers, accountants, cash register/lights/rack maintenance. Anything behind the scenes could be done by a male at VS. I already thought of lingerie :). - a runcible MiniMage

Based on yesterday's discussion, if you promote stereotypes of one sex or the other, you are a de facto sexist. - Dave Roth

@Dave: I'm stuck with this damn sexist brain, I guess. - Anthony Citrano

Ah, @Mark, what kind of evil genius franchise CANT actually use males? Ah, @Dave, when one is a leader in society and promotes stereotypes against another group, how is that NOT at least making the attempt to undermine, hamper them or otherwise be oppressive? - a runcible MiniMage

You know, I'm with you on that. If I were an evil genius who'd seen your M.O., I'd evilly copy you and hire only handsome men. I would be completely sexist. Of course, if I were a good genius, I wouldn't do that. - a runcible MiniMage

Naw, it makes you a dork for posting this. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

@Mark ++++++ - Shevonne

What if one doesn't find trans women sexually attractive? Seems like the same rules ought to apply, but trans activists don't seem very happy about that idea... - Karl Knechtel

I just love this question! Seriously! ++++++++ - Carlton Hackett
