We had our first external commenter today. The comment came on JobLess's emotionally charged post. I was accused of making "sexist comments." So, I did what I do best; I rationalized my actions.
There is a difference between sexism and sexuality. Sexism is denying opportunity specifically because of gender. The department head not promoting a professor only because she is female is sexist. Sexuality is the appreciation of the human body. Describing the lust that encompasses me when a woman fills out a pair of black stretchy pants just right is sexuality.
Some will say that my definition of sexism is too narrow. I invite their comments.
Since I am in no position to deny opportunity to anyone, I cannot be sexist. Since my heart beats, I cannot help but be sexual.

I would agree that there is a difference between the two. Perhaps I should have said it was degrading. I know that most of the time the things you say are in jest and I meant it back in jest, but there was a grain of truth to both our comments.
Do I deny their existence?
