Racism is just plain dumb. It's like this, you see two identical people and you think one is better than the other because of his skin color. The reason people don't like racists is because it's just plain stupid, there's nothing more to say about it and it's often a result of undereducation.
Homophobia is a different issue. I remember the first time I met an openly gay person and I was legitimately scared to sleep in the same room with him because I was fearful of being taken advantage of - that's not homophobia. Then there are people that go "wtf ewww you're gay??stand away", THESE are the homophobics and they're often closet gays too scared to come out anyway. Homophobia is yet another stupid thing because liking dicks or liking pussy has no impact on the personality or performance of an individual.
Then there's sexism, this is an interesting yet confusing topic for me because men and woman ARE different, our brains are wired differently, our anatomy is different and we respond differently to different situations. So it's established that men and women are different so then it doesn't make sense to call it discrimination to treat them differently it just makes it common sense.
I think the reason a lot of people especially women that goes tits out in these types of discussions are because they think men and women being different is just an excuse to treat women like shit which is far from the truth, in some situations men are treated like shit and in other situations women are treated like shit.
It's naive and stupid to dream about this perfect world where men and women are both not treated like shit because that would require you to remove any difference between men and women, all humans will have to evolve into a single gender capable of asexual reproduction. See? Pretty stupid, right?
All three entirely different issues.
Sexism isn't men and women being different. It's giving one sex more rights or more human value than the other.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
