Yes. That did bother me quite a bit. Didn't make me dislike her...if i disliked women who held those views I'd dislike a lot of people. I liked Dexter...but I didn't like his gender politics at all.

A young man getting silly over dirty words, and women's bits is not a worrying thing. Coarse, and childish yes, but hardly sexist. Or, at least, only as sexist as most young men are - and many young girls who also make coarse comments about men's cocks. But yes, women who hold other women to a different sexual standard to men does worry me. It doesn't surprise me...we are all products of our society and culture, irregardless* of how aware we are of that at a meta level.
