Actually, it does. A person doesn't stop being a racist or a sexist because they don't want to murder every brown person/ female in existence, but instead wishes to relegate them to a subserviant or 2nd class role with less rights, or even just feels a bit uncomfortable working next to them. The double standard that is based solely on the character's sexuality is all that is required to make that judgement. It's textbook homophobe (which no, doesn't mean that one is literally afraid that the gay boogieman is going to sneak into one's house and do nefarious things to their butthole while one sleeps).
I don't 'want' to regulate anyone to a 2nd class role, but it's an inevitable consequence of the reality of value.
Pretty much everyone seems to agree that individuals have the 'right' to want what they want without being a bigot, so long as they're polite about it. That I, personally, have a right to enjoy male-female or female-female romances more than male-male romances. That if I went to the movie theater, I have a right to spend my $10 on the movie with a picture of a man and woman kissing instead of two men kissing. That I'm not obligated to find gay men kissing attractive.
The contradiction is that people demand 'society' as a whole is obligated to find every group of equal worth. If 'society' thinks gay men aren't as romantic, it's bigotry. If 'society' thinks that transgendered people are not as feminine and beautiful as normal women, it's bigotry.
But all society is is a collection of individuals. As Thatcher said, it's an illusion. A myth. What happens there's an aggregate of individuals who think like me? Who politely and respectfully spend their money on the film with the straight romance instead of the gay one?
I have to wonder, how many people does it take to make it okay to demand a group find someone attractive? Obviously, it's wrong to demand one person find somone attractive. That one person has every right to prefer A over B, we say. But when we have a dozen people, is it okay now to be enraged when everyone likes A and not B? A hundred? A thousand? A million? At one point does that collection of individuals who prefer A over B stop having a right to want what they want and start being 'hateful' bigots?
Retour en haut
). My professor was a a woman, really bitchy btw. She also happened to be ultra feminist - I mean like ultra hardcore feminist, almost Anita level. She asked us males (as part of class) tricky questions like "Should a woman that stays in the house cook food for her husband?" One of the men said "If I'm working and she is at home, then I would like if she cook food," all hell broke lose. Us males had to be VERY careful with what we said, otherwise we will have her and a couple of ultra feminist girls at our throats (literally). Of course we had nothing against her or feminism, but we picked our words very carefully to not offend her. For an entire year, me and a bunch of other men had to carefully choose our words in that class in order to not offend them or make them feel bad, and these are only a few of the incidents that happened.
