- I think that there are a few people that could stand to spend a few
- evenings curled up in a nice warm blanket in front of the fire reading
- the dictionary. However, I'll spare you all the effort:
-
- Sexism. 1: prejudice or discrimination based on sex; esp: discrimination
- against women. 2: behavior, conditions, or attitudes that foster
- stereotypes of social roles based on sex -- sexist.
-
- I'd welcome an explanation as to why the comment above makes me sexist.
- But I do think that the argument is moot.
-
- Now, shallow _is_ quite a defensible position based on the comment above.
