First here's a definition:
sex⋅ism
/ˈsɛksɪzəm/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [sek-siz-uhm] Show IPA
?noun
1. attitudes or behavior based on traditional stereotypes of sexual roles.
2. discrimination or devaluation based on a person's sex, as in restricted job opportunities; esp., such discrimination directed against women.
Fetish-ism is directly related to some form of sexual context, thus the moment a fetish is applied to a female her 'new' emphasis is sexual. (aka--- her new role is sexual)
To be fair (or unfair - however you want to perceive it) the whole concept of sexism favors females, based upon how human sexuality works.
Question how many male-brothels exist for the sole purpose of servicing females?
I've always argued that if a woman wants sex she only needs spend minimal effort and some guy will oblige (especially if she reduced all standards down to: does he breathe and have a working penis).
Thus BE is sexist because BE is about a sexual role.
But try this scenario:
1. The US makes all forms of prostitution legal.
2. Modern pharmaceuticals allows a woman to have 100% control over her reproductive cycle AND can eliminate all forms of STDS.
3 Body-modification (plastic surgery) becomes safe, pain-free, and effortless thus a person can change their overall all appearance as effortlessly as getting a new wardrobe.
Question: How many women would elect to go into the solicitation business especially if salaries were very, very good (as in more than a doctor, lawyer, or engineer makes?) And what would happen to our modern society if this was the case?
