A better term may be patronising, as it is perhaps a boy kinda thing. But then is football sexist? All those guys in tight shorts, acting like idiots, fighting tooth and nail to prove their macho testoterone filled beauty. Do beauty queens get as much money as pro footballers? When they do, and the basic human pleasure that sport and sex/beauty is capable of giving us is recognized regardless of the sex, then perhaps, it wont be sexist. Tight Buns Maru
