Is "sex" sexist? I don't see how... Inappropriate maybe, but I don't understand how you can claim it's sexist.

- patio11 18y agoIs "sex" sexist? I don't see how Again, I run screaming from the label "feminist", but I'm sufficiently well-read to understand that the first response would be "Even the title itself contains an assumption as to what external genitalia a VC 'should' have, and this is so gobsmackingly obviously sexist that people apparently don't realize its sexist at all!"
- axod 18y agoOK good point in that case. It'd be more politically correct to say "How to get a VC randy/turned on" or something. Doesn't really have the same 'flow' though.
- Retric 18y agoIf you want you can find most things offensive. My boss, bosses, boss is a female as is her boss, but I still talk about my company as a fraternity because English uses the male gender as the default. My waiter might be a women, but nobody complains when I use the masculine term. females even use the term "jonesing" even though the term used to mean something else... What I find amusing is the more historically gender separated professions don't have male/female terms. EX: Doctor, nurse, but people seem to want to add them. PS: I find it offensive when people don't use the genders interchangeably.
