Apples and oranges.

We're not talking about discomfort with a particular sex act. I don't find the idea of two men have intercourse particularly appealing. I don't find a man and a woman having sex very appealing either. In fact, I tend to find that any sex act involving a man is something I don't wish to witness or be a part of. So I don't watch or involve myself with sex acts that involve men.

What I don't do is go around bashing men by labeling things I dislike as "male". Doing so would be uncalled for and would get me labeled as a man-hater, and rightly so. Men aren't responsible for all that is bad. Neither are homosexuals. Or people with low IQ's. Using words that describe such people to mean "bad" is implicitly bashing the group of people commonly described by those words. Saying so doesn't make a person self-righteousness.
