less than men?

Good question! Maybe we should just ask them directly. OK let's hear it, all you gay men out there: Who considers women to be inferior to men?
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Kidding.
--- Quote --- Or is that just a trait of the heterosexual male.. He just thinks as societal teaching
has made him believe. The male sexual prowess makes him better than all others, along of course
with his supposed stronger physique.?? Giving way to the natural feelings of dominance, and superiority.?

That's another interesting question. How did men get so dominant and sexist in the first place? Is it because they're physically stronger? Or is it because killing animals and fighting wars (while women took care of children) made aggressiveness and power-grabbing evolutionarily adaptive traits?
I guess we're getting a little off the topic of Brokeback Slang. I'd be happy to start a whole thread on questions like these -- which I find fascinating -- if there are people interested in discussing them.

Very likeable and personable and completely nonthreatening.
Been a long time since I saw that show. What is his last name, anyway? ???
