But I'm referring to real world experiences here, I tend to stay away from a lot of BF threads so maybe there is a different trend here. I'm also 20 years old, so maybe I'm a little biased on the subject.
Nevertheless, I agree that it (sexism) is unacceptable for any age group, and that there is far too much of it, especially around sports of any kind.
Well, it probably is generalizing ... but from my experience the older guys I've known (let's say over 50) have been more gentlemanly than the younger ones I've known. They tend not to go around asking, "Was she hot" first thing when a guy mentions an encounter with a woman.
Of course I am only guessing at the ages here ... I've been assuming that the majority of posters here are very young. But maybe this forum is clogged with a bunch of "dirty old men".
