    It was ironic. I'm kinda stunned you couldn't tell. I'm a homosexual feminist, not some chauvinist pig. But even if I was serious I don't believe it's anyone's place to step in and tell someone that their views on whether someone is attractive, and the subsequent level of sexual arousal gained from that, are bad.
