Please explain.  If a male says artist "A" (male) is brilliant while artist "B"
(male) is terrible, does this mean (according to your statement) that he is
unconsciously homophobic?.....or if a male says that artist "A" (female) is
brilliant while artist "B" male is terrible, does this mean he is somehow
lacking in male hormones?...or if a male says that artist "A" (male) is
brilliant while artist "B" (female) is terrible, does this mean he is
unconsciously a transvestite?.....or maybe that human brilliance is somehow
"limited"?  I find your link between comparisons (even exclusionary ones) and
sexism to be poorly worded.
