Or at least if anything is being classified that way, then I must really not understand what the heck sexism or homophobia are even supposed to be.

Joe's garage is a little sexist, but I do feel he really ramps up the nasty around the time of Sheik Yerbouti. I mentioned Broken Hearts Are For *******s and Punky's Whips. What about Bobby Brown? Easy Meat?

I don't get what's sexist about those. Isn't sexism "prejudice or discrimination based on one's sex or gender . . . it has been linked to stereotypes and gender roles, and may include the belief that one sex or gender is intrinsically superior to another"?
