Since you tossed it out there, I have to respond - Perhaps it is because of your age that you're more likely to defend the societal values you were raised with and are less willing to see things from another perspective. My parents and their generation, who are about the same ago as you, are, generally speaking, more sexist than my generation. Yet my parents, and your generation, are less sexist than your parents generation. As we understand more about the world around us, thoughts and ideas change, there is a natural evolution in thought. Simply being older doesn't necessarily make you "more right."

Doesn't make me more wrong either....
That's your opinion, but yours alone. I am superior only to those inferior to me
I do not base that on gender. ( And my kids, raised to not be gender-biased, are, as young teens, very much so. This drag-racing, bike riding mom is trying to change that).
Actually, I was raised to toss a mean football, do autobody work and watch the KC Chiefs play. I cook a little, clean even less. Your assumptions are off the mark, again, based on your own observations in your world.
And, actually, sexuality/attraction is the basis of the thread-it's the understanding of our own innate and distinctive sexuality that's being discussed. Without sexuality, we'd be earthworms.
No one has excused any behavior based on anything. Again, your assumption is noted. Wrong, but noted.
I didn't say you were the only one anyone had, I said the 'experience' is limited-as, actually mine is because I don't plan on dying tomorrow, but the mileage on this engine is higher
. Most of what you've stated is generationally-based assuming about how someone's been 'raised', when, in fact, you have no clue how anyone was, unless it's been discussed.
Again, you have to base your opinions on your experience. We all do. Some of us are just a tad more 'experienced'-not necessarily politically correct, to be sure, but experience forms opinions. The trick is to decipher which is worthwhile. If you can only think that an entire group is thinking a certain way because of their generation and not take into account their experiences, you only limit yourself.
