IF you can't see the similarity between the absolutism of homophobia... and what you claim to be the impossibility of you having a pleasurable response to a woman stimulating your dick... then you are pretty fully invested in that belief system.
Sounds like a religion more than an argument. |
If by the "you're not the boss of me," you refer to DC's implication that you're arrogant to describe him in ways that you can't begin to confirm or disconfirm ... well, I think DC is telling you something you need to hear, Phil. (Now please understand, I think in some ways we are all rife with arrogance.)
I don't think DC is being childish at all.
I certainly can see very little intersection between homophobia and a claim that one doesn't find something attractive.
One involves a repulsion away; the other merely says there is no attraction towards.
Homophobia also generalizes on one's own response to a claim about a class of beings; the homophobe usually thinks there is something wrong with the homsexual.
You're not saying, I hope, that DC is making any such claim about women.
He has many women friends and seems to be attracted to them on a number of levels, excepting, as he says, the sexual.
His interaction with a number of women on the board confirms this.
We're all invested in belief systems more than we realize, Phil.
But we forget that.
Don't we?
