Well, in my defense I was referring to a real situation in my own life not some overlying feeling of being a second class citizen. Which I don't feel at all and I don't think I inferred that - I was obviously referring to "in an atmosphere you already feel a second class citizen in." And I don't wear revealing clothing there. Nor do I gawk at men's butts or muscles. I could care less about those things.
