- Only if you completely lack any sense of irony. While, as I mentioned
- in the original article, I would not say no to the chance to ogle a
- bunch of rugby players in the shower, their likely attitude would be
- such as to make this a less than pleasant experience in practice.
- This is a product not of sexism but of homophobia. However I didn't
- feel like launching a huge discussion on the subject, nor do I now
- think such a discussion would be interesting to most readers on these
- groups.
