I don't know what Rachel is all bothered about. She is totally hot. So, she would obviously be exempt from anything I would say about non-hot women.
Do you know how much I like hot women? A lot. You know why? Because I'm not gay!
Yes Rachel, all the gay references in my last post were purposely over the top insecure. It was intended as a clear, though somewhat subtle, joke (I believe you can have both subtlety and clarity, though the former is usually not my forte). For the love of God, it was a man-crush list. How much gayer did I have to get?
By the way, if you want to know what my real feelings about people who are not clearly on the side of gay rights, then watch this.
Now, on to the charges of sexism. Here, you have me. Anyway you want! Okay, calm down. Once again, joke.
Seriously, I don't believe that being sexually attracted to women is being sexist. I would definitely be attracted to a hot 22 year old, even though I am 37. And I am sure I would feel the same way at 57 and 87. That might be an uncomfortable fact, especially for me since I am not likely to get what I am looking for, but it is a fact nonetheless. You or society wishing it away won't make it any less true.
By the way, this applies to nearly all men - no matter how blissfully liberal they might be. A hot 22 year old woman is always a hot 22 year old woman to a man. Doesn't mean we have to act on it, especially if we're married like Clinton was. And it certainly doesn't mean we can act on it. But the desire is God made, or genetics or whatever. But whoever put it there wasn't kidding.
I like that George Clooney is still single. I don't love the idea of marriage. It makes a lot of people very happy, including most of my friends. But it's not for me. And there is a ton of societal pressure to do it, whether it makes sense for you or not. I hope you're not one of those judging types who is going to question my lifestyle choices. It wouldn't be very liberal.
You make a very good point about Sheen. I forgot that he was accused of violence, which is way uncool by any standard. I hope that isn't true, but if it is, you can be sure that Henry Waxman will step into the top ten with aplomb (he was my top "honorable mention").
Finally, you accuse me of judging women by their looks. Guilty as charged. Do I judge if I am attracted to a woman by her looks? Of coooourrssseee!
That is not the only criteria, but anyone who says it isn't relevant is the world's biggest liar. And women make the same judgment about me. Believe me, I know. I wish they didn't, but they do. That's perfectly normal.
But that's just for physical relations between the sexes. Of course, I don't judge women in general by their looks. I'm pretty confident that Madeleine Albright made a better Secretary of State then Jessica Alba would have. Not that I'm saying Jessica Alba is hotter than Madeleine Albright.
Just kidding, of course I am.
But so what? Different people are respected for different qualities. John Malkovich is on my man crush list and he's not hot either. And Albright would make my woman crush list. I hate Paris Hilton and would have sex with her in a flat second.
I know that last statement really bothers a lot of people. A lot of women (and men) want sex to be some sort of cosmic connection. And sometimes it is. And sometimes it isn't. Sometimes it's just some dirty, fun, crazy sex with a 22 year old intern. The kind of sex you regret. The kind you can't forget. The kind that drives you and makes you human.
