190. Why on earth would you take offense at that?
Men are conditioned to respond to visual porn, just as women are conditioned to respond to romance novels. Everybody is free to accept or reject social conditioning in regard to gender. Including you, so there's no reason to get all huffy about it.

To me, "co-ed" is a sexist term because a college student is a college student, "co-education" and the "MRS degree" went out with the hula hoop for fuck's sake. "Douchebag" is NOT sexist, because it denotes a thing and not a person.

I sometimes get called a sexist for not buying into all the assumptions of whitebread, upperclass feminism. So what? But fwiw, I apologize for calling you one, when perhaps "old fart" would have been more appropriate. :)

By the way, I have nothing figured out, especially not why there's a double standard when it comes to erotic entertainment. I find this somewhat vexatious.
