163. Being liberal
doesn't automatically mean someone doesn't have sexist views. All you have to do is look at some of the posts at DU to see that. Very few people are 100% liberal in all views. Even liberal people have flaws. I'm sorry, but one cannot defend themselves from an accusation of sexism by saying "But I'm a liberal!"

They may very well support those things you say. But that doesn't change the fact that they often objectify women in their programs. And that IS sexist. I'm not saying I think it should be censored. But it fits the definition. I don't think they're all that concerned with it, however, and a lot of people find it entertaining.
