I would be safe not to answer this question since homophobia is rife, I'd say.
Since you have a certain proclivity that does not in any way relate to the original post, I wonder why you are hung up on what you posted there in the original post.
I accidentally gave an indirect premise mentioning 'homophobia' that reveals my sexuality. Bummer - what did I do??!!
Yes, I ask this question as a matter of intellectual curiosity and inquiry - it is everyone's basic human right to inquire into a territory that can bear zero relevance in their own personal lives - so would you please excuse me for that? Thanks.

I never read "homophobia" into anything you posted, to be honest.
I can excuse you for anything; I'm very forgiving in that way.
But it is time for me to head to bed; I'm too old to be staying up this late. Goodnight, sweet dreams.

Goodnight to you. You have sweet dreams. Please note, I live in down under so it is not barely 8 pm yet.

Um. Not sure if someone said this already, but sexual attraction =/= respect. What does a person's sexuality have to do with their views on if women are equally smart, capable human beings as men? Nothing, that's what.

I already know but I mentioned only that sexist heterosexual men's sexism stems from finding women physically unattractive on par with themselves.

What?
Um, no. No, that isn't what sexims stems from. What you are describing sounds kind of like narcissism, maybe? Not sure, it doesn't make any sense, though.

It doesn't make sense to me why men who are sexist to women can even enjoy heterosexual relations.

Not really getting anywhere in this thread.
What part of Aus are you from?
I'd be tickled pink to find another Canecutter here.
That's not an indirect premise revealing my sexuality either. :-)

Lines from Percy Sledge's less successful followup, n'est-ce pas?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Because they're not homosexually attracted, perhaps? They could also elect to be asexual, I suppose, although that wouldn't affect their nature; they'd 'simply' choose not to act upon it. They would still have all their prejudices etc. NOM and all that.
